Oh, where are you, braised pork belly with preserved cabbage? What about you, dry-fried tripe with hot peppers? And you , whole steamed fish with black bean sauce? Apparently at the Moon Star Restaurant (3600 George F. Highway, Endwell). Who knew? Matthew and I happened upon a Chinese food menu in our own private Motel Hell and laughed when we saw the words REAL CHINESE FOOD. The menu listed many authentic items on it and not just the Americanized crap, I mean selections. Makes sense since Endwell is near Endicott, where IBM lives. I suppose you have to have at least one decent Chinese restaurant for all those engineers. We got into the car immediately and took Main Street all the way into Endwell and got our fix of what we eat regularly at home. Everything was the real deal. I could have sworn I was in Daimo when I tasted the fish, and the pork belly was every bit as good as the version I braise in my own clay pot.
