REVIEWS:
For the New Year I like to eat like a King, because it’s the New Year and maybe, just maybe I will no longer be a CheapAss! But we all know that isn’t going to happen, so every year in the beginning of January I eat like Henry the Eighth. Amazing 66 is famous for their seafood and definitely recognized for Cantonese cuisine all over Manhattan, a suitable place for a King.
For appetizers we started with crispy home-style pan fried lotus cake ($9.95), came in 7-9 pieces, all crunchy on the outside with chunks of Chinese sausage inside. Next on banquet menu deep fried oyster with ginger scallion ($12.95), I thought the batter was on the thick side but the flavor was wonderful, light and tasting of the sea. Sautéed Taiwanese “A” vegetable ($7.95), and beef with snow peas ($10.95) arrived at the same time, the beef and snow peas where were not heavily sauced, I could actually taste the beef unlike most Chinese eatery. Sautéed Taiwanese “A” vegetable was good but a little heavy on the cornstarch, otherwise great for vegetarians. Our finale of the evening was a grand steamed dungeons crab with flat noodles and fresh garlic sauce ($24.95-$30.00 seasonal); the cab was slightly sweet and perfectly cooked which made the meat tender. The genius part of the whole dish - are the noodles on the bottom of the plate it soaked up all the rich oils of the crab, garlic and other goodies.
Definitely ate like a king like a CheapAssKing!
