When is the best time to go to a very popular, super tiny ice cream shop? On a day that is snowing like crazy. Yup. I have been sooo wanting to go to Taiyaki NYC for a while, but I know they usually have lines, so I waited until the right moment. When the moment […]
After we visited one of the real, authentic Thai restaurant in NYC called Uncle Boons (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/uncle-boons/), we wanted more of that unique, tasty, delicious, authentic Thai food. So, we went to another very popular spot, Pok Pok in Brooklyn. They offer food from Northern Thailand. The first thing we saw […]
This was the second Tasting Collective event that we attended. After the wonderful event at Win Son (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/win-son/), we were excited to go to this event. F.O.B stands for Fresh Off the Boat, and is a Filipino BBQ restaurant. Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they […]
When you live in NYC, you get spoiled for all the food options that this wonderful city provides. You really feel it when you go out of the town, to more suburban area. When we were traveling through Massachusetts a couple of months ago, we were looking for Thai food. After some searches, we found […]
I came across this restaurant without looking for it. Sometimes, you find something really good only when you are not looking for it…and lots of times, it turns out to be the best thing ever. I was hoping for this kind of outcome when we decided to go check it out. It is located at […]
At the beginning of this year, to improve and expand our dining experience further, I joined one of the dinner clubs in New York City, “Tasting Collective.” There are several members-only dining clubs out there, but I think this one is the best one, for its value and perks. Tasting Collective is a dining club […]
After we visited one bakery in Chinatown called Lung Moon Bakery (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/lung-moon-bakery/), we got curious enough to check out more bakery in that area. We found one called Kam Hing Coffee Shop that is famous for their sponge cakes. I was thinking “Really? Just sponge cakes?” But then again, […]
When you can’t go all the way downtown for a great, unique Thai food at Uncle Boons (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/uncle-boons/), you still find another Thai restaurant that serves more than boring, brown dishes elsewhere. In Upper West Side, Thai Market is one of the most popular spot for Thai food options. […]
When I think of Chinatown in New York and the food that they offer, the word that come to my head is “affordable.” This is not just the restaurant or grocery stores, but also includes bakeries. We ventured out to a local bakery in Chinatown called Lung Moon Bakery in a midst of (heavy) snow, […]
When you think of “Thai food” here in the US, most of us would think “Pad Thai” or “Pad See Ew” or some kind of noodle or rice dish. Most of them brown with typical sauce that they put on it. Sadly, most of us have become so numb to the typical offerings that we […]
