When you have out-of-town visitors, there are a few places that might be interesting for them. It might be a bit tourist-y, which usually means pricey and not very tasty dishes. Well, I might’ve found a pretty good spot! It is Cipriani Dolci, inside the landmark, Grand Central Terminal. Cipriani has many, many locations all […]
Ever since we first visited Olio e Piú in 2017, we’ve become a massive fan of the restaurant. We returned again shortly after, and the experience was as great as the first time. When my family was visiting, I thought they would love this spot too. So on a rainy day, we headed over for […]
If you read many of my posts, you know I absolutely love Speakeasy spots. We recently went to this fun place called Bathtub Gin in Chelsea. When you get to the address, you see Stone Street coffee shop, already closed for the day. But guess what, comes the magic hour, a staff will come out […]
Update: We went back to The Cauldron NYC only four months later, in late September 2023. I was shocked at how much changes they made to everything… The only thing they didn’t change was the decor. We could no longer choose which sandwich we wanted, and the portion was significantly smaller. The waitress was not […]
We were lucky to go attend a fun event hosted by Momofuku Noodle Bar at their East Village location. They had this interesting large photo print at the entrance, I wonder what the story behind that is… As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and nice drinks. The first drink […]
We got to visit this lovely spot, The Purple Tongue, a winery that will turn your tongue purple with great tongue, and make you more social, just like a giraffe (with purple tongue, and known to be a social animal). How cute and creative is that name? We were there for a fun and tasty […]
One place I really wanted to go while visiting Japan was this little place called MUM Cafe. I found it on social media, and I was very excited about it. With our busy itinerary, we managed to go towards the very end of our vacation. And even better, with my parents! It was located in […]
I found this lovely spot from my parents in 2019. I was so looking forward to revisiting Kamameshi Hana when we return to Japan. Finally after a long wait due to pandemic, we got to go back to Japan and to Kamameshi Hana! Japan is still very careful with the virus, so most people are […]

One of the places we missed visiting the last time we were in Japan was Shiro-Hige’s Cream Puff Factory. This time, we made sure to visit for some adorable cream puffs! If you are a huge Ghibli fan like us, you really must have their cream puffs, shaped in Totoro! They now have two locations, […]
