Nicolas Feuillatte Rosé Tasting & Champagne Lunch

I had the honor and pleasure to be part of Nicolas Feuillatte Rosé Champagne tasting and lunch at Le Cirque in New York City earlier this week.

Le Cirque is an elegant, upscale French restaurant, tucked in the large glass skyscraper of the Bloomberg Building. The restaurant’s dining rooms (upstairs private [...]

Lima Tokyo & Macchu Pisco Tasting Dinner at Zengo

Main dining room & Tequila Library

Last night I had a fun time at Zengo having dinner paired with Macchu Pisco that dinner ended into the late night hours.

When I stepped into Zengo this Latin-Asian restaurant is beautiful to walk around and be in. It’s sleek with the leather banquettes, [...]

Num Pang: Creative Asian-influenced Sandwiches in Midtown

Sign at the front and Interior, graffiti wall

You, my dear readers, may or may not know about my love for Cambodian-influenced sandwiches (called num pang). It all started way back in 2007 when I ate from the (sadly) closed Lower East Side restaurant Kampuchea. Coincidentally enough, one of the chefs of [...]

Dinner at Convivio

Pre-dinner non-alcoholic drink

A friend of mine, Michael wanted to dine at 1* Michelin restaurants as of recent. Of that list, the one we mutually wanted to go for dinner was Convivio. Making reservations relatively last minute, I cannot get prime reservations (say 7 or 8 PM) on a Friday night and [...]

Restaurant Week at Alto

To those of you who are really waiting on my Hong Kong/China vacation posts, please do be patient. I’m trying to post up the Restaurant Week stuff before it’s irrelevant to read (like the Gramercy Tavern post I did previously; they’re not participating RW now).

Last Thursday, I’ve arranged lunch with Mary to Alto for [...]

Murray’s Real Salami and Pescatore Seafood in Grand Central Market

[I know I'm supposed to write about the tea outing with Patrick but I need to do this first. I promise things would go back to normal.]

I used to think Grand Central Terminal’s Market has nothing fit for me, in regards to food. It’s just a transfer hub to get to work with the [...]

Itzy Bitzy Patisserie Macarons for February

My good friend, Mitzy Budiono, the woman behind Itzy Bitzy Patisserie, has given me a batch of February’s featured French-style macarons flavors to sample this past weekend. Yes, she’s the one who I would deem as the Pierre Hermé on this side of the Atlantic or at least New York City.

February’s flavors
