Since Poutini has managed to get squeaky curds (and Smoke’s had them when they first opened), it’s not much of a stretch to ask for them. It’s what makes poutine good, and shows that the product is fresh. So...

How soft is “soft”? It shouldn’t be runny or gelatinous. It should be pliable but resiliant ... different than semi-soft cheeses. It is a “pasta filata” - a pulled curd cheese. Provolone is also in...

. Stretching it a couple of blocks south adds d.b.a. for drinks. Two of my favorite desserts in NY: Warm semolina pudding with lemon curd & cherries @ Lavagna Coconut flan @ Esperanto Link: http://petercherches.blogspot.com

Yes but sorry this is my point, I’m from Quebec, and we don’t do it right here in Toronto. Even the blue truck, which is one the better options to be sure, really isn’t proper poutine. No chicken gravy, lacking...

for the fermented bean curd. I’ll definately try Golden Village sometime; that stretch of road even I can handle :)

that’s funny – I’m intimidated by the microwave method! Too worried about accidentally cooking the curds. I find it a lot easier to heat up a gallon of salted water to a set temperature then just pour it over my...

My son’s preschool is doing a bake sale in a couple of weekends and I have committed to contribute a torte/tart etc. I was going to do a pecan/coconut crust filled with lemon curd and topped with an italian merengue and...

Does ther Rebel House use cheese curds?

extensive congee menu (12+ options). Can’t say I’m an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I can say that the preserved egg and pork version will stick with me for quite some time. Skip the oyster casserole....

Have you considered making your own? That way you can eat it while still warm – the best! It’s not hard to make from store-bought curd that you can keep on hand for your next moz urge.

I second Lexington Market. Much closer to the Convention Center than the Cross St. Market. Walking to Federal Hill and back to Cross St would be a stretch if you only have an hour.

associate with fresh mozzarella. Does anyone have experience making this and know what I could do differently? Does it have to do with how I knead the curds? How hot it gets? Whether I use salt? Citric acid vs vinegar vs...

I will be visiting NY again at the start of the year. I have a favorite walk that starts at the doughnut plant on grand and heads west along grand until you hit SoHo. Are there any “do not miss” stops in Chinatown...

. What a difference. Half empty, no wait. I ordered XLB, bean curd puff and stir-fried hand cut noodle. I’m almost 100% positive the XLBs are frozen factory brand. How do I know? I ate 10 of them in like 5 minutes, and you...

The current favorite along that stretch seems to be Seafood Harbor. If you do a search on the main Chowhound Home Page you will find several posts. I haven’t eaten here myself but it has a lot of chowhound fans.
