The Wandering Eater

This is arguably the most expensive lunch I ever had. Period. I had lunches from pricey restaurants (e.g. Le Bernardin a few years ago and recently Eleven Madison Park) by trying their prix fixe or tasting menu but it never come to the total that I have paid just a few days ago. You’ll understand [...]

I’m becoming a familiar face for Landmarc. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing that I actually spend my time at Time Warner Center so often. Anyways, I went to Landmarc three times (including the earlier post when it opened on the second day) and counting now.
The second time I went to [...]

Ever since Saturday, I’ve been having some morning noshings at Bouchon Bakery. I know…you all hate me writing about Thomas Keller’s cafe but really, where can I go that has tasty pastries that doesn’t look and taste like crap and it’s really close to my campus?
Just to blab all about it in one shot instead [...]

There’s been a lot of places opening this week that actually strikes my interest, such as Landmarc in the Time Warner Building and where I visited yesterday afternoon, Roasting Plant, that I’ve read from Grub Street earlier in this week.

To those of you who’ve read my blog for a while, I’m a java junkie. I [...]

I know my long absence from this blog might have let a few of you readers wondering what the heck is going on? Well, as you have noticed since last week I have been complaining about school work, e.g. papers and tests, it’s making my fooding life has practically rendered to nothing. The only thing [...]

This is to back track everything that has happened the entire week or so. Starting with some homemade bread.
I made this bread before I actually ate out with my aunt (the one who’s visiting from Hong Kong) from my earlier post, at Chung Moo Roo but since I don’t really have a real recipe for [...]

I have about an hour to write this post for you before I go to class. Since this lunch I’m writing about now took place last Friday, I might as well tell you about this meal in K-town that I had with my aunt and her son who are visiting from Hong Kong.
The reason why [...]

I’m sorry that I haven’t written in a LONG time. I’m just writing this mostly non-food post for the sake of letting you know I’m still alive (and possibly bordering insanity; it’s explained as you read on).
It’s just because my aunt and her bratty 8 year-old son visited over my remaining half of my so-called [...]

About a little more than a week ago, I was tempted to the marketing of La Maison du Chocolat’s Easter chocolates and bought a cute bunny for $16 and a couple of their bonbons. Yup, I’m a sucker for their chocolates. But who can actually resist them?
On the same day, I wanted to try Bouchon [...]

On Tuesday night, I went to Kyotofu with Kim for an evening dessert tasting invitation by one of the co-owners, Nicole Bermensolo. Those of you who have read my daytime dessert flight at Kyotofu a month or so ago, the menu is slightly different during the evenings.
I just love how they used the candles to [...]
