Cooking Guyanese Chinese food with Chef Fay at Medina Halal Restaurant, New York

I had fun cooking Guyanese Chinese food with Chef Fay at Medina Halal Restaurant & Bakery on 111-41 Lefferts Boulevard in New York and had the most amazing experience. He was friendly and accommodating and displayed professionalism as he prepared the delicious dishes. I saw him cooking the house special fried rice, vegetable fried rice, chowmein, lowmein, pepper shrimp, pepper chicken, among other dishes. He also showed me some he had prepared while I enjoyed dinner with my mom and two sisters. I also saw his staff, chef Sally and Bindi making daal puri and paratha roti. Chef Fay was born in China and moved to Guyana with his parents. They opened a Chinese restaurant and supermarket in Berbice, where he got his expertise in cooking Chinese food. Medina Halal delivers food through orders from Grubhub and Seamless and also does catering for events.

That's awesome to see a different Guyanaese culture/ race showing their accomplishments. I loved the way he speaks, left China since age 6 moved to Berbice Guyana then to New York . Very nice that you had a good tour of the kitchen and he wasn't hesitant to share on video how they cooked behind the scene. Awesome share.❤♥️♥️🙏💯🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾👍🏽👍🏽

[@amazonwarrior7126]

isnt America the same and they have all the different etnic foods? Italian, irish, greek, mexician, poland, German, ? I have never been to America but I know there are different races there, we in Guyana do not call our food ethnic foods, but just Guyanese foods,as all Guyanese were brought up eating all the foods,so its not new to us.

This chef menu has everything. Lots of choices. Nice guy. And everything is halal. So, the bbq chicken is not really bbq but flavoured with sauce, eh! Any left overs, send to them squatters, they would appreciate it! Your president is a very good cook himself and will give this guy a run for his money. At least he has a backup job. I was surprise I didn’t see you on his guest list at his last Eid feast. You probably not on his nice list!

Good evening, i visited this restaurant about 6 weeks ago from Canada. It was a Saturday afternoon about 4 pm. We walked into the the establishment, there was no customer in store. We ordered a tray of chicken fried rice ans a tray of chicken chow mein along with an order of chicken in the ruff. The food was dry, the chicken was so dry, i think it was deep fried at leadt 3 times. The chicken in the ruff, was so dry. We also got fish cake, that mostly patatoe, with a few pieced of salt fish. We also got pastry, the dough was like roti dough. Note we has visited a few other west indian establishments before coming here. They were much better. In my opinion you need to give quality food for the price you charge. It was a disappointment for sure. Sincerely 😢😮
