Just when I thought I finally finished writing about places in Portland, I had to go to New Orleans… LOL. As many of the foodies out there know, there are loads of great places to eat in New Orleans. While I was there for work, I tried to eat more healthy food, so that I […]
Teuchi-Soba Kosuge
Back to Japan post. When we visit Japan, we always get together with my gourmet sister and her husband, and have a day filled with delicious adventures. This past winter, she started with this spot called Teuchi-Soba Kosuge in Tokyo. If you look up popular soba spots in this particular area, this restaurant will come […]
Sarabeth’s
Sarabeth’s is one of the popular brunch spots in NYC, yet, I have never dined at any of Sarabeth’s location. Since it is also a popular tourist destination, we decided to finally go check it out at their Park Avenue location. There was a host/hostess section at the entrance, with a large waiting area. It […]
The Seafood Shanty
When we visited Martha’s Vineyard last summer, we went to one of their popular spot in Edgartown for lunch with a view. Since it was off peak time, it was not crowded, and we didn’t need a reservation. We got the table in the patio, overlooking the water. What a beautiful view! We each decided […]
The Little Bakery Tokyo
Now that I am finished with all the places we visited in Portland, I have to move onto placed we visited in Japan and elsewhere. As many people know, Japan is such a food destination. It is always the hardest to choose which places to go out to so many great food spots. Japan not […]
Rimsky-Korsakoffee House
My blog about the wonderful city of Portland, Oregon. This is the last spot we visited on our last day. It had a long, interesting name, Rimsky-Korsakoffee House. I heard it is one of the Portland’s oldest coffee house, and it was located kind of middle of nowhere I felt like, but we still managed […]

OK Omens
On our last day in Portland, we went to OK Omens for their Happy Hour. The building kind of looked like an old church or something, kind of fitting with the name OK Omens. The structure was an interesting shape, almost like a soft triangle. The inside was elegant, I liked the way it looked […]
Tōv Coffee
While vising Portland OR last summer, one of the coffee spot that I was excited to visit was Tōv Coffee. Not only they are unique in a sense that they offer Egyptian inspired artisanal coffee, but all the photos I saw showed the coffee shop in a red double decker bus! So, off we went, […]
Matt’s BBQ Tacos
I took a bit of a break from writing the blog posts while working on other projects… Now I am back and trying to catch up with the last few places we went in Portland Oregon last summer. Better late than never, right? We were interested in their food truck culture, or food cart pods, […]
