MUST-TRY vs MUST-AVOID Street Foods in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s CHINATOWN!

Hilarious Futuro. I am coming to Buenos Aires in a few short weeks so I'll check out some of these others that he mentioned if I have time. I usually am loading up on steak but do crave some Asian food after a few days.
I am eating so much steak. I am dying for some Chinese or Asian food!
 
Great video! @earlyretirement brought me to Fengwei. We went there for lunch and it was delicious! The beef dish we had was good. I was surprised because it was empty but we went during the week and not on the weekend. They tone down the spice level. Seafood isn't common or popular there. We went out to eat 3 times a day and I barely saw any seafood places. He is right that almost no one eats seafood. We did have great sushi at Osaka and some place in Recoleta. Was great. But there is almost no seafood in even the high end restaurants.

Saw something that @BuySellBA posted on Twitter about Fengwei, and it reminded me of the place next door (orange building, Chinese script, shutters usually down with just the little insert door open) that I like. If you ask them, they can turn up the spice level to almost enough, and if they start to recognize you, they'll really turn it up if you ask.

I used to go there about once or twice a month and they figured out pretty quickly that I was serious when I said I wanted it Sichuan-hot.

Good place.
