This is my second review of Saggio. (You can see my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/saggio/) This place was so warm and tasty that we went back for more. They have hand-written special menu of the day, addition to their regular menu. What they offer on the special menu of the day is almost always recommended […]
I discovered this awesome cream puff store, Beard Papa’s Fresh’n Natural Cream Puffs in NYC (you can read my full review on NYC location at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/beard-papas/). They have stores around the world, and of course, they have several locations in Japan, as they are one of the best countries who does pastry creation so well… […]
I love chocolate. I don’t understand the ones who say otherwise. How can you not love chocolate, am I right? A pastry chef, Jacques Torres, started a chocolate store in Brooklyn, where everything is made from scratch. It is one of my favorite “local” chocolate here in NYC. From all the cute and tasty little […]
Bronx Zoo does not have a great food option (in my opinion) from my experience (read my review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dancing-crane-cafe-bronx-zoo/). However, there is still a fun treat you can find at the Zoo. Yes, there is always hope! The hope started with the sign that said “Roast Your Own! Smores & Marshmallows.” There were large […]
One thing I love the most of Japan is their food (Ok, after my family and friends). Especially, their sweets are really excellent! From the way they create the sweets in such pretty, artistic way, to the flavor of each items, it always surprised me with great joy. I wanted to share some of the […]
Visiting a farmers market is always fun, you get to see/buy fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, drinks, etc., etc. Even if you don’t buy anything, it is fun to walk around the farmers market (to me). We visited the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, right behind the Ferry Plaza for some lunch and sweets. There are some […]
Pronto is one of a chain eatery in Japan with an interesting concept (to me). They are cafe, restaurant, and bar (Izakaya). It seems like they change their face depends on the time of the day/night, according to what people would want. What a creative and awesome concept it that? If you go there during […]
One of the most famous burger chain in the USA is IN-N-OUT Burger, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, they are not available on the East coast, so every time I traveled to the West coast, I wanted to go to one of their IN-N-OUT locations, but never worked out… So, when I finally got to […]
They call it the “best Japanese crepe in NYC.” However, it is not clear if they originally came from Japan. The owner is not Japanese, so I believe they took the concept of Japanese crepe, and brought it to NYC. It seems that Japanese crepes have become a bit popular in NYC, there are few […]
One of the traditional sweets of Japan is called Taiyaki, and it means “baked sea bream.” No, it is not a real fish, it is just shaped like one. It is a cute little cake made with pancake or waffle batter, and has fillings inside. The most traditional filling is red bean paste, really awesome marriage […]
