Lunch at BCD Tofu

Earlier last week, I went to BCD Tofu with my mom for lunch. She craved Korean food and I asked my best friend, Helen for suggestions a few days earlier (she’s Korean, so she knows what’s good), this ended up as the destination of choice. Admittedly, BCD is sort of on the hype end of [...]

The Modern Bar Room – Restaurant Week

Last Tuesday, I’ve arranged dinner with my parents at The Modern Bar Room. First timers to eat there (and it’s Restaurant Week), I know the Modern would not disappoint me, as I’ve eaten here a few times throughout the years, Restaurant Week or not, and had good to very good experiences.

Crowded, [...]

Má Pêche (aka Momofuku Midtown)

As of yesterday morning, when I check my morning Twitter feed, I read Midtown Lunch‘s tweet, that Momofuku Midtown (or Má Pêche) was serving lunch! I e-mailed Zach of ML if he’d welcome company to eat with him since I have every intention to try at least half of the Midtown Specials. And thankfully, being [...]

The Modern Dining Room – Tasting Menu

Taken place on September 15, 2009.

I felt compelled for a few years to try The Modern‘s tasting menu, after seeing Ulterior Epicure’s gorgeous photos of his experience and hearing it from a friend who did enjoy his dinner thoroughly for week before I went, I thought it’s about time to [...]

Lunch at Aureole

Aureole

The last time I’ve been to Aureole was nearly two years ago for Restaurant Week, in its former location in the Upper East Side. Back then, I used to think the [...]

Lunches at Marea & Momofuku Ssäm Bar

I’m putting my HK/China posts on the back burner for now since I’m eating out NYC a bit more since it’s SUMMER here. If you’re anticipating the HK/China posts, just hang on for a bit. Sorry.

Back on June 11th, I had lunch at Marea, after reading positive reviews on this place. I like seafood [...]

Visiting La Maison du Chocolat and the Odeon Ice Cream Cart

Caracas Frappe

Most of you who know me by now, I’m a huge sucker for desserts, especially anything chocolate-related. I dropped into La Maison du Chocolat during one of those dog days of summer on my lunch break and ordered the Caracas frappe.

Fro-Yoing for Gotham Digest & Dinner at Taïm

As some of you might know, I’ve done a few things for the upcoming debut of Gotham Digest. No, they’re not ready yet until May. If they’re up and running, I’ll let you know and show some love and support to me and my freelancing employer!

Frozen yogurt was the chosen topic by the assistant [...]

The Irony of It All…(Restaurant Week at Anthos) and a few announcements

On Thursday, I had my last Restaurant Week meal at Anthos with Ariel. This pretty much sums up my international food trek of sorts since I started with Indian, French, and now Greek (all nouveau style). I did have hopes of being captivated by Chef Psilakis’ food since Ariel went to Kefi, Psilakis’ other Greek [...]
