I'm too afraid to post this in the bigger NJ and Bergen County subs. New to the county and can't seem to find Three Ladies brand jasmine rice anywhere. I've looked at Hmart, 99 Ranch, and Gmart, but nada. It's my favorite brand of jasmine rice, and so far I haven't encountered an equal. Has anyone in northern NJ successfully purchased Three Ladies jasmine rice locally? And if you are familiar with it and liked another brand just as much, would you mind sharing your discovery? Costco jasmine rice is apparently not an equal. Three Ladies is awesome and IYKYK. Very pleasant jasmine scent, smells divine while cooking, excellent texture. I miss it.

Alternatively, if you super know jasmine rice, what do you recommend that is locally accessible around here?

Thanks for reading

Looking for the best fried chicken in New Jersey. Who’s got it?

I recently was over in the Rutherford nj location and there was a sign saying temporarily closed. Any ideas why on the closing?
Thanks ❤️

Reposting my question from r/FoodNYC since I didn't realize there was one for NJ too:

I've never been to the Fort Lee / Palisades area before as it's quite far from me, but I'll be taking my Korean friends there for dinner soon and I'd love to know what people's top choice is for that area since I know that the Korean food in Manhattan doesn't compare.

We're all pretty down for any type of restaurant (from nice kbbq to homestyle mom and pop shops), we're just not familiar with the area and would like to make our drive / meal there count.

(also recs for stuff to do in the area AFTER dinner are also greatly appreciated) thanks!

Just a full, homemade dinner waiting for you.

This Saturday — $35 per plate

✔️ Fried Cornish Hen or Whiting

✔️ Any 2 sides

✔️ Dessert

✔️ 32oz Tropical Lemonade

Somerset pickup | 1PM–7PM

Perfect if you’re tired, busy, or just want a real meal without the effort.

Message me to order—limited plates

I heard it’s good and have not been there yet. What are the best things to get?

Thanks

Any suggestions for really yummy Portuguese food in the ironbound in Newark?

I am an app developer in Northern NJ - and I am looking for two more foodies to work on an App with - which creates a timeline of food you eat in your life. If you enjoy eating out, taking pics with your food, and writing about it - I would like the opportunity to work together. Please message me if you would like to find out more details.

going tomorrow at 2:00 p.m..

plus one for the best chicken tikka masala that doesn't involve the detour Edison.

plus two if you know of a place where the detour to Edison is worth it

They are currently running a promotion for Kalbi tang, gamja tang, and one other dish - the broth was soothing, and the veggie sides were fresh. Great bargain while it lasts!

"Galbi-tang (갈비탕) is a traditional, hearty Korean soup made from beef short ribs (galbi) simmered in a clear, savory broth with ingredients like Korean radish, onion, garlic, and scallions, resulting in tender meat that falls off the bone. It's known as a comforting and nourishing dish, often served with rice and kimchi, and is considered a stamina food in Korea, especially good for cold days or when feeling run down."

Wifey and I are hitting Sojo Spa in a couple of weeks for a date night and then want to grab dinner in the area. Any recommendations? Food quality is priority over ambiance but a nice view won’t hurt either.

Not really budget constrained and definitely want good cocktails (so no BYOB please). Open cuisine wise.

We usually go out close to home or in the city, so not really familiar with the area.

A few months ago, I was randomly browsing restaurants to add to my list of places to try abs I swear I found a Turkish restaurant that offered a gluten-free dough for their pide. However, for some odd reason, I never saved it and I cannot find one.

Was it all in my head or does someone know of a place with gluten-free pide?

It’s for my 5 year old. We are vegetarians and enjoy our pide with a cold glass of ayran but he has a wheat allergy (he usually eats a pilaf and I was excited that he could finally try pide). We moved to NJ late last year.

Hey guys use my Wonders promo code to get $15 off you first 2 orders!!! 😙

Delishish!

Taking my kids up to a basketball game at Monmouth tomorrow. Was hoping to get a seafood lunch before the game. In search from something laid back, nothing fancy, not super expensive (if that’s even an option). Anywhere between Long Branch to Belmar would be great. At suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Looking for a new hot chicken place to try.

Thanks
