The formerly known as Mei Lai Wah is now known as Mei Li Wah. :o)

Tripe. From a cart. Is there no peril you won’t brave for us, Zach?

Owner of Wah Fung is the owner of the kart that used to be on Bowery and Hester. Best kart in Chinatown for many years. The ‘back’ (not really much room there) of Wah Fung still has the same menu items as that kart used to have, granted its now $1.50 and not $1. He’s still the best.

I tried to order tripe tacos last night at Tulcingo del Valle and they were all out. And at Tacos Nuevos Mexico by my house they hardly ever have it even when it’s on the specials menu. Why are restaurants always out of yummy tripa tacos?! I think I might have to switch to Chinese style tripe…

If we do dim sum, I totes love the tripe dish but rarely order it because for some reason no one in my family really likes it. (I like the brown w/sauce, radish?, and I think it has liver pieces in it I avoid, not the white one with scallions.) Yumm!
BTW, Zach, though many many many Asian people will argue, I think the best cart for tripe is on … E. Pike? Err whatever that street is, it’s right outside HKS Supermarket on the “Fu Kien” side of Chinatown, I go there for the dried shrimp rice noodle rolls, sometimes with fish balls, ooh and htey have “curry squid” which is awesome too, and tripe, and … that’s my favorite cart in Chinatown :)

Great post. For tripe, I used to enjoy the tripe soup at Teresa’s on 1st Ave. (EVil), but sadly it closed.

Yea for people who work on the B/D line in Midtown. You can totally make it to Wah Fung and be back in 45 minutes. The part that trips you up is that the line moves SLOW. There’s only one dude cutting up the meat and some people order like 5 at a time so it takes him a while. Factor this in if you make the trip.

Done this many many times from Bryant Park to Grand St. so I know it can be done.

And tripe is stomach. BTW Zach, if you want to try the Italian version, Al di La in Park Slope does an amazing version or they used to… it’s a change of pace from Asian renditions because of the butter.. and man, so good. Tripe can be so good!

I think the feast is going to end this weekend, maybe I could be wrong, but they have lunch and prob dinner specials at the places on Mulberry. I had some good manacati for 8 and change, comes with bread only I know I know but it was really good and filling.
