After the inaugural success of Strange Plates at the Hatian restaurant in the Flatbush/Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn, the fluctuating group of (mostly) tour guides hit Woodside, Queens and the fabled Sripraphai.
It was there where we had yellow squid, sour curry (despite a warning that it was “not for Americans”), frog legs, pickled BBQ boneless pork ribs and a boatload of other just plain awesome food. Mark was quoted as saying, “The mint! The tomatoes! The lime! Everything is so. . .bright!” One or two dishes had some serious chiles and made my head sweat something fierce. (Andy, too, was spotted going making that whoo-whoo-whoo sound toward the end.) What will next month’s strange plate bring? That remains to be seen.
