| Walked around Chambers Street. |
To satisfy a friend's pho craving, we went to Chinatown originally looking to go into Nam Son, a pretty authentic restaurant for Vietnamese cuisine. We picked a poor day for Nam Son because it was packed and a lot of people waiting. Instead we changed our mind to go for Shanghainese until I said out of the blue that I wanted to try Malay food. My friend remembered seeing a Malay restaurant on the way so we went there instead. It is called "Nyonya" located near Little Italy on Grand Street. From my previous research, the manga Addicted to Curry, I learned that nyonya is a cuisine conceived from the fusion of Chinese and Malay flavors. It was packed with people as well, but there were empty seats for us.
