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 [...]

4Food Lunch Preview

At the counter & Interior/stairway

Yesterday, Midtown Lunch held the 4food preview event, and lucky for me, I gotten a sneak preview of one of probably the most talked about fast food chain as of the past week.

Initially, I heard of it from my friend Andrew who almost obsessively talked [...]

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.

Wrapping Up The Rest of Restaurant Week – Aquavit, Town, and Blue Water Grill

The last two days of the official Restaurant Week, I’ve had lunch with my co-workers at Aquavit on Thursday and on Friday, I did a double-header of lunch (with Ariel at Town) and dinner (with Ariel and Helen). The first one is very familiar since I went there last year and the latter two were [...]
