When we ventured out to DUMBO one early Saturday morning, we found ourselves looking for a nice spot for breakfast/brunch nearby. After doing some research, we found Butler with tasty looking menu. They have more than one locations, and one of them were very close by. So we walked over to check them out. We […]
Maman Nomad
I have always been curious about Maman, I knew they had really good baked goods items, and I do like having all sorts of baked goods… But, they do offer more than just baked goods, it is a popular spot for brunch and lunch. We happened to be very closed to one of their locations, […]
Chinah FiDi
With the Pandemic still not completely over, the desire for take-out and delivery focused eateries has gone up, in my opinion. This new spot, Chinah FiDi is a welcome addition to that category. I still prefer where I can sit and eat inside, but that’s just me… The inside was bright and clean, a good […]
Native Noodles
We had a fun opportunity to join a virtual event in April, where the owner of Native Noodles showed us how to cook one of their most popular dishes, Laksa Noodles. Even though I haven’t actually cooked the dish (yet), I was very curious to go and try it ourselves. Native Noodles offers Singaporean dishes, […]
Prime Meat Rokko
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 cafĂ©, 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 […]
Flipper’s
Ever since the popular Japanese pancake shop, Flipper’s came to NYC, I have been wanting to go and try their famous soufflĂ© pancakes. But, they always had a long line, and I was waiting until the line is much shorter, or better, no more line. We finally got to go to Flipper’s, with no line, […]
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 […]
Pasta With Harissa Bolognese
This recipe I found online sounded really interesting and delicious, so I gave it my own twist into the recipe again, and went right in! When I went to by Harissa, I found “Mild” and “Spicy” kinds. I heard that the Harissa can be quite spicy, so I bought mild Harissa. If you have powder […]
