I am always curious and eater to find a Japanese or Japanese-inspired food scenery wherever I go. Here in Philly, I found this spot called Tuna Bar who had some interesting sushi rolls. So, we went over to check it out. I was in a new, modern looking building. With the wall facing the street […]
OKA – Closed

Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they offer brunch and dinner at […]
City Tavern
While we were traveling in Philadelphia, we saw this interesting sign hanging outside a red brick building. After a quick research, we found out this is a very unique restaurant. It comes with rich history, the building was commissioned as the City Tavern around 1773. What I thought was really cool was that in July […]
Dessert Goals 2018
As a dessert lover, I have always been curious about this dessert festival, Dessert Goals. I didn’t get to purchase the ticket last year before all the ticket got sold out within minutes…so, this year, I was ready and I got the tickets! Also, they doubled up on their tickets, which helped as well. I […]
J’aime French Bakery
When we travel, we must find some good desserts/sweets! The best time to consume lots of sugar and calorie is in the morning (in my opinion), so we went to this cute little bakery & cafe serving French pastries, sandwiches, crepes & coffee for breakfast. We got there quite early in the morning, so there was no […]
Vicky’s Diner – CLOSED
I first found this little diner three years ago. I was having lunch on my own at the counter, and the owner, Vicky was there with a friendly smile on a warm, quiet, peaceful day. It was a very memorable visit, because the peacefulness came to an abrupt end when I realized that they are […]
Royal Izakaya
While traveling in Philly, we found an interesting Japanese restaurant called Royal Izakaya. It has a certain speakeasy feel to it, with no name or address on the door. Other than beautiful dark blue door against red brick wall, the only sign they have is a glowing red lantern that says “Izakaya” in Japanese. It […]
Beiler’s Doughnuts
When we visited the Reading Terminal Market, we found this lovely doughnut spot with a long line. My hubby wanted to get some doughnuts from here, so we decided to get in line as well. They have been making the doughnuts the Amish way for 30 years, each one hand rolled, and of course, made […]
Shinsuke in NEW YORK @Kajitsu
There is something exciting about a pop-up restaurant that is only going to be available for a short time. We found a Japanese pop-up restaurant from Tokyo called Shinsuke, taking over Kajitsu restaurant for a short time. After learning a bit about Shinsuke, we got very curious and decided to go. We made it on […]
Dutch Eating Place
One of the spots we really wanted to visit while our trip to Philadelphia was Reading Terminal Market. It is kind of like Chelsea Market in NYC, but bigger and wider. We wanted to get some food from here, and with so many options, it was not easy to pick just one spot… We decided […]
