Manhattan Outer Boroughs Breakfast Queens Taiwanese Shanghainese

Looking for really tasty you tiao. My Manhattan Chinatown source dried up and I need a new source. It's an essential part of my favorite breakfast spread.

      Thanks for the suggestions but I'm looking for a stall or bakery, not a restaurant! I make my own savoury dou jiang at home and it isn't the same without tasty, crisp you tiao to accompany it.

      In NJ you tiao is mostly sold in pre-packaged bags in the refrigerator or frozen aisles. My grocer goes to Chinatown every week to bring back dimsum jongzi and other items but he can't get tasty fresh you tiao anymore.

      In Chinatown I can buy it at 112 Grand St and it's not horrible there, but not wonderful either.

        gargupie re: kimijye2 Most stalls and bakeries source you tiao from wholesale factories. You can try Deluxe Food Market.

          The places I'm looking for make their own @gargupie. I believe Deluxe Manhattan is the place from whence the chef left to China recently. I haven't been to their Flushing store many times but when there, I didn't see fresh you tiao.

    2. kimijye2 I guess I should add that I'm looking for a bakery or food stall, not a restaurant – a place that sells items I can take home.
