The Wandering Eater

First of all to everyone:May your new year be filled with good food, good memories, and lots of happiness. Just don’t drink too much folks or you’re greeted with one ugly hangover…
Ok, the party. The title’s really based on that idea of a fusion of all those holidays, since (as you read on) Kim’s celebrating [...]

Notes: I know this is a post that I’ve spoken about ages ago that I should’ve written but I was lazy. Sorry. It’s better late than never. This may be a good way to start the new year by knowing where to get your morning muffin. (End note)
Hmm…you have to read it out to know [...]

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your Christmas is going well so far, especially the food. Well, today’s Christmas dinner menu is basically a variation of the surf-n-turf: seared steak (done the most austere way: just salt and pepper; done by my father), steamed asparagus, sauteed mushrooms (vegetables done by my mom), and my homemade raisin [...]

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! Joyeux Noël et bonne année! ¡Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo! Buon Natale e felice anno nuovo! Fröhliches Weihnachten! Vrolijk Kerstmis! 聖誕節同新年快樂 ! Hyvää joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta! クリスマスと新年おめでとうございます! Wesołych Świąt! 메리 크리스마스! 새해 복 많이 받으세요! God jul och gott nytt år! Feliz Natal! [...]

It’s not really a food posting of sorts. It’s more like food photos of the confections that I’ve purchased ever since Tuesday, 12/19 from Takashimaya, Minimoto Kitchoan, and Chocolat Michel Cluizel.Somehow I’ve managed to have time in between finals to do a little food shopping. Then later on the week I played, plated and eaten [...]

Well, it’s official. I’m out of school for a month. I don’t know if that’s good thing for me but heck, I don’t want to deal (or have to) with papers and exams until after New Year’s. After that I need to bury myself in study books for the LSATs.
I planned to hang out with [...]

To reiterate what I said, it’s finals week for me and it was a killer for me. My brain feels a bit fried from all the stress for packing in 6 finals within 3 days. It’s ridiculous what colleges do to students. I’m assuming law school would be 5 – 10 times more intense than [...]

Yesterday I had the intention of going to eat lunch at Cafe Sabarsky. However, the wait was killing me – almost 40 minutes and I was starving! So, I just gave up my spot on line and just took a bus down 5th Avenue. I ended up going to Takashimaya’s Tea Box Cafe. I wanted [...]

I made these a few days ago, if some of you have seen it on my Flickr page. The main reason why I’ve made them because: (1) My parents purchased a lot of whole chickens over the weekend and (2) My mom’s having a craving for a savory version of the mantou; in other words, [...]

Today, I went to the Upper East Side, as I’ve promised from the last post that I’m going to Two Little Red Hens.
I have two reasons in mind for this visit: (1) it’s been 2 years since I’ve been here (2) I want to try their Brooklyn Blackout Chocolate Cupcake and a muffin since I’m [...]
