A Bengali Snack Expert’s Guide To The Best South Asian Food In Queens - New York - The Infatuation
"“‘Tong’ in Bengali literally means ‘stall,’” says Islam, of this street cart found in Jackson Heights and Jamaica. Tong, similar to Jhal (although Tong started after, Islam points out), sells Bengali street snacks like fuchka. “It’s similar to the Indian street snack pani puri,” he says, which are made from puffed, crunchy puri filled with yellow peas and potatoes, and topped with raw red onions and shaved egg yolks before pouring tamarind water over the whole bite." - Devorah Lev Tov 1
