When I heard that a new Japanese restaurant focusing on meat dishes just opened up, I had to go check them out immediately! The restaurant is called Prime Meat Rokko, and the owner has a few restaurant (mostly yakiniku restaurants) in Japan. From doing a quick research on Prime Meat Rokko, this restaurant seems to […]

Ciao Bella Coffee
Since we didn’t really venture out much during the pandemic, we haven’t cry visited Brooklyn for over a year. This fabulous and cozy little café, Ciao Bella Coffee seems like the right spot to go for our first visit to Brooklyn! They have been opened for about a year, which must have been tough to […]
Japanese Condiments from Kyushu
I recently joined an online event that featured some condiments from Kysushu Island. If you are not familiar with Japanese geography, Kyushu is one of the Southern Islands, where my mother is originally from. I received samples of the condiments to try, so after researching and reading about each products, I decided to make some […]
Thai Diner
One of the Thai restaurant that we really enjoyed in the past was Uncle Boons. They were very popular and with its small interior, it was not easy to get a seat on a busy night. Unfortunately, they closed its door permanently during the pandemic… The sister restaurant, Thai Diner has survived, and they offer […]
Glaze Donuts
I love all sorts of desserts, and one of my favorites would be donuts. The favorite donut spot in the world would still be Mister Donut in Japan. I absolutely love their donuts!!! Unfortunately, it is a long way to travel for donuts….but, there are many other donut spots nearby that I love, such as […]
Burger Heights 2020
We first tried Burger Heights in 2017, and we became a fan of their burgers and shakes. Dining out during the COVID time has been tough, and therefore, we haven’t really gone out to eat as much this year. Same for food deliveries, we don’t usually get deliveries to begin with, and that part didn’t […]
Mochimochi Kai Sweets
It seems like this year was the year of mochi donuts. We tried some mochi donuts from The Dough Club towards the beginning of the year, and since then, I started to see this “Pon de Ring” style mochi donuts popping up at other places. When we heard that there is a popular mochi donut […]
Maison Pickle #3
Since our very first visit at Maison Pickle, it has become our instant favorite. We did go back the second time to see if it all just a delicious dream, and they proved to us that they are indeed real! So, it was only fitting that we made time to dine here right before NYC […]
Mochinut
Mochinut opened just a few weeks ago, at the end of September. They currently have 8 locations, most of them in CA, and planning to open another 8 or 9 locations, again, mostly in CA. We got to try some mochi donuts from The Dough Club in Chinatown right before the pandemic, and we really […]
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
One place we always go to when we visit Japan is Kappa Sushi. Japan is full of fun sushi place that delivers sushi plates on conveyor belts, called Kaiten Sushi. I have seen a few places like that in NYC come and go, but never had a chance to try one anywhere in the US. […]
