At the height of the “food hall” craze, which actually lasted several years before the pandemic, we gained many food halls across NYC. We have Turnstyle Underground Market, The Pennsy, Essex Street Market, and so many more. The latest news before everything shut down was The North End Food Hall, all the way up in […]
For many people, “Chinatown” in New York means the one in downtown Manhattan. But, if you ask the people who knows about the “REAL” Chinatown, they will tell you it is in Flushing, Queens. We were just starting to explore more eateries and restaurants before the Pandemic hit. You can find some great dim sum […]
Since we didn’t really venture out much during the pandemic, we haven’t cry visited Brooklyn for over a year. This fabulous and cozy little café, Ciao Bella Coffee seems like the right spot to go for our first visit to Brooklyn! They have been opened for about a year, which must have been tough to […]
I recently joined an online event that featured some condiments from Kysushu Island. If you are not familiar with Japanese geography, Kyushu is one of the Southern Islands, where my mother is originally from. I received samples of the condiments to try, so after researching and reading about each products, I decided to make some […]
One of the Thai restaurant that we really enjoyed in the past was Uncle Boons. They were very popular and with its small interior, it was not easy to get a seat on a busy night.

I love having a brunch burger. Well, I do have a weakness for most burgers… I saw a photo of a tasty burger from Set L.E.S. somewhere, which was totally drool-worthy, so we decided to go check them out for a brunch. We arrived a few minutes before they opened, and there were handful of […]
There are plenty Korean bakeries right across the George Washington Bridge, like D’avant Bakery, Blue Angel & Café Bakery, and Café Trois. We traveled just a bit further and found this Korean bakery called La Tabatiere a few months ago. We drove up there one morning. They have a small parking lot right next to […]
We recently discovered this lovely restaurant Spoon Table & Bar that had tasty-looking brunch offerings. We love brunch, but we went to check them out for dinner instead. The exterior of the restaurant was unassuming, yet very inviting with the warm light flooding out from their floor-to-ceiling window. We were greeted as soon as we […]
