Going to a Summer Festival is fun, no matter what type or where it is. When we headed to Japan, we were lucky enough to arrive day before the Summer Festival! I don’t remember the last time I got to go a Summer Festival in Japan… So we were pretty excited to go and have […]
One of the most fun sweets of Summer in Japan to me is Kakigori. It is a Japanese shaved ice with sweet syrup. Since the Instagram has entered into culinary world, restaurants, cafes, and others alike have been coming up with some crazy looking food and dessert. But, it also helps people discover a food […]
This is my second review of this Shake Shack location. (You can read about my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/shake-shack-uws/) We went back to this location for a very specific reason: to get their limited time only shakes! Will & Grace-themed shakes!!! They have two kinds of shakes in honor of the return of the show. One […]
One of the spots we really wanted to visit while visiting Tokyo was Dominique Ansel Bakery. Why? They offer items that you can only get in Japan! Yes, I have a weak spot in my heart for those things that says “limited time only” or “offered only at…” items… I remember when this spot opened […]
During our stay in Japan, we visited the home of best green teas, Shizuoka. Along the way, we discovered many wonderful food, drinks, and yes, sweets. We bought so many delicious gifts there for our family and friends, and of course, for ourselves! We visited Kakegawa Castle, and right by the castle was a little […]

I was a bit surprised that this place called “The Tea Bar” was actually Korean food restaurant, as I always thought they were another […]
I am not a big fan of fast food restaurant, so I rarely get food from any of them unless I don’t have much option (like at an airport). I don’t remember the last time I willingly went to a fast food restaurant… But, when I am in Japan, I do get the desire to […]
Here is a loooong overdue review of the two sweet shops at Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios in Florida. The best gift to buy while at theme park (in my opinion) is candy and chocolate. I have families and friends who appreciate these type of gifts so much more than mug or […]
If “Foodllovergirl = sweets” and “Summer = cold, icy treats” then what do you get? Gelato! We headed over to Popbar in West Village for some of their Popgelato. They have been on my radar for a while, but haven’t really gotten around to visiting…until now! The inside is pretty small, just enough room to […]
Since I tried a Korean owned and operated Sushi restaurant in Santa Fe, I had to visit the one that is Japanese owned and operated. It didn’t have much of any signage on the outside, so it was not easy to spot this place. You have to be facing the door to see the modest […]
