We were looking for a brunch spot, and we were feeling some kind of Asian food. We found Red Feather near Washington Square Park. There are several steps up to the restaurant entrance, not accessible from what I could see. The inside was a bit smaller that I thought it would be. The exterior and […]
On the day we spent with my gourmet sister in Tokyo, she took us to a really interesting place called Tofu Shokudo. We like tofu, as it is tasty, healthy, and has lots of benefits as well. Rich in high quality protein, vitamins, and dietary fiber. Tofu Shokudo is unique in a sense that they […]
While we were in Japan at the beginning of 2023, my sister took us to Hayashiya Chaen in Meguro, Tokyo. They focus on Japanese tea, and also serves desserts made with their special teas. From reading about them, they want to serve the “real” tea to their customers, without dressing it up, just simple, pure, […]
On one Sunday, we were walking around, looking for a brunch spot. Then, we walked by this place called Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant. We must’ve walked by this spot so many times, but for some reason, we never really paid that much attention… We love tapas, so we decided to check it out. It […]
One of the most fun dining experiences out there, in my opinion, is afternoon tea. My mother loves afternoon tea, and so do my husband and I. When my mother and my niece came for a visit in late summer/early fall of 2022, I made sure to take them to a few afternoon tea spots. […]
I have been interested in BLACKBARN for while, and when we walk by during peak hours, it was always looked full and busy. A good sign of good food. So, when my family was here during the late summer of 2022, I decided to take them there for lunch. We had successful lunch/brunch at spots […]
When we first visited this adorable and super awesome Speakeasy, The Little Shop for the first time, we absolutely loved it! So, when my mother and my niece were visiting us in September 2022, we decided to take them there. They were of course a bit confused when we took them to a small grocery […]
While we were in Japan over the winter holidays, we stayed a couple of nights in Tokyo. On our first night there, we were walking around, looking for a place for dinner. After going to a spot that has not opened for the new year just yet, we kept walking around, until we found this […]
Ever since we first visited Hotel Chantelle in 2016, we became fans of this spot. We especially love their rooftop dining. It has such fun and cute Parisian feel to it. We thought my mother and my niece would also really like this place, so we brought them for an early brunch in September 2022. […]
One of the fine dining places I took my mother and niece was the gorgeous Dowling’s at The Carlyle. They have several dining room options at The Carlyle, all beautifully decorated and unique on its own way, making the decision difficult. I went with the Dowling’s at The Carlyle since we needed the real lunch […]
