As tradition goes, Christmas Day for me consists of a movie and chinese food. This year things didn't go quite as planned as the movie we trekked into Manhattan to see was sold out when we got there ("The Artist" at the Paris Theater). But we turned around and came back to Astoria to at least follow-through on the dinner portion of the tradition. We decided to watch a movie at home (to at least keep with some of the movie tradition) so we ordered delivery from a nearby chinese restaurant. It was our first venture into chinese food in the neighborhood (usually we make the trek to Flushing, Queens which has a huge china town), but I'm happy to report that we now have our chinese go-to place in Astoria!
Fatima's Halal Kitchen Authentic Chinese Cuisine (25-25 Broadway): You can't go wrong with this restaurant -- all of the favorites and more are found on this huge menu. Plus the meat was very tender and very high quality (which unfortunately isn't always the case with chinese restaurants in nyc). We had the kung pao chicken and garlic shrimp, both were delicious and very well priced. We will definitely be back for more from Fatima's, perhaps next time going there for dine-in.
And as for the movie half of the tradition, we watched "A Serious Man," which is a very dark comedy by the Coen brothers (we liked it and thought it was very well-made and interesting). We'll catch "The Artist" in the coming weeks as well!
