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 […]
Ever since I visited STK Orlando (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/stk-orlando/), I have been a fan of their food. And, my husband has been jealous of all the great dishes that I had. So, when we saw that they are a participating in the Restaurant Week, we made a reservation right away. They […]

I have been patiently waiting for this café to open up since last Fall. Today, I finally got to visit them during their Soft Opening period. I am still not sure when the hard opening would be, but for as long as I got to go in, who cares when the hard opening is, right? […]
Museum is a great place to get some education, relaxation, and appreciation of the arts. But, when a museum is about food and drink, it can get to the whole another level of education and fun! I have been waiting for such museum for…well, forever! So, I was so happy when this one opened up […]
I am sure there is a favorite Chinese dish for everyone out there. But, to me, the greatest creation of Chinese cuisine/style is Dim Sum. It is like tapas of Chinese food. You get to have small amount of dishes, one after another, until you are fully stuffed with yummy goodness. A really nice way […]
