I have walked by this spot many times, but never actually dined here. Their lovely outdoor seating and exterior is very noticeable, and yes, I was curious. After several years, I finally got the opportunity to dine here. The ambiance of the exterior (to me) was some sort of old European café, with red bricks […]
When we were visiting Shizuoka, we discovered there is more to Shizuoka than their green tea and eel. They also have their own special cantaloupe, persimmons, and guess what else? Hamburg steaks! In Japan, people eat not only hamburgers, but also hamburg steaks, without lettuce, tomato and buns. I heard that there is one restaurant […]
One thing we enjoy doing on our way to Japan is visiting airport lounges. Not all the lounges are excellent, but it is better than waiting for your flight at the gate. We booked our flights with JAL, and like so many other airlines, JAL was partnering with Air France Lounge. It seemed like all […]
How did I become a foodie? I think it has a lot to do with my eldest gourmet sister. She has always had, well, superior taste buds than others. I remember baking cakes with her when I was little, and it was delicious! Anything she whipped out in the kitchen came out awesome. And let […]
When we go to Japan, we get so excited about all the delicious food we are going to have… Out all the “must eat” list, there was one particular dish that we especially looked forward to having: Grilled Eel from Shizuoka! We did not eat any grilled eel the entire Summer, so that we will […]
I love pop-up cafe. When the fabulous Perk Cafe from the TV series “Friends” popped up back in 2014, I made sure to visit. We waited in a long line, and we got a nice cup of coffee for free. They had all the fun memorabilia and some of the actual studio sets used in […]
This is my second review of this Shake Shack location. (You can read about my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/shake-shack-uws/) We went back to this location for a very specific reason: to get their limited time only shakes! Will & Grace-themed shakes!!! They have two kinds of shakes in honor of the return of the show. One […]
We have been exploring some Korean restaurants in Fort Lee, NJ. After doing some research, this place had some enticing photos of their dishes. So, we decided to try them out. I was a bit surprised that this place called “The Tea Bar” was actually Korean food restaurant, as I always thought they were another […]
I am not a big fan of fast food restaurant, so I rarely get food from any of them unless I don’t have much option (like at an airport). I don’t remember the last time I willingly went to a fast food restaurant… But, when I am in Japan, I do get the desire to […]
This is my third visit to this dessert heaven. (You can read about my previous visits here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery-2/) They still have all the yummy looking freshly baked goods and desserts… I hope this place never closes down! And of course the eclairs… I am so glad we don’t live near here, as we would be […]
