after scouring to see if we wanted to eat shanghainese food for a late dinner, we ended up with our first choice, great NY noodletown, our regular spot for the past 8+ years. we got our usual seafood congee, yuchoy with oyster sauce, soy sauce chicken over rice, and roasted pork & duck over rice. (someone was very hungry). we'd never had soy sauce chicken here before, and it was so good - combined with the pickled vegetable thing that it came with, it had a very layered flavor of spices and garlic. though similar, it contrasted pretty well against the roasted pork & duck, which is slightly on the sweeter side.

so yummy and comforting for a chilly night & a bike ride through it.
