There is something about the Victorian era… It comes with great novels, architecture, fashion and all other things that somehow are romantic and elaborate. One of the renowned writer lived during this era and produced striking novel such as The Picture of Dorian Gray. Yes, I am talking about Oscar Wilde. And I discovered a […]

Izakaya Mew
I love Japanese izakaya, and I have been wanting to visit this spot for a while now. Since they don’t take reservation, and with its popularity, we haven’t had the chance to visit…until now! We decided to get there little before they open for the evening, and they already had some people lined up in […]
Wokuni
A high quality seafood at real Japanese restaurant, and I mean, REAL Japanese restaurant can be pricey. The best time to go have some tasty meal is during lunch time. This spot came under my radar, with their delectable lunch specials. But, it is not always to have lunch during the weekdays when you work […]
Yaso Tangbao
We went for a tasty event at this spot, which just opened earlier this year. We enjoy some good dim sum every once in a while, especially dumplings. This event included demonstration on how the soup dumplings were made. How fun! Their sign says “Shanghai Street Foods” but since I have never been to Shanghai, […]
The Ribbon
We went to this spot for a tasty event. This restaurant was not under my radar, so it was good to discover a new spot. It had a simple, modern exterior, nothing too fancy but elegantly done. The first area at the entrance is more lounge-type dining set up, with a bar next to it. […]
Maison Kayser

Dessert Goals 2018
As a dessert lover, I have always been curious about this dessert festival, Dessert Goals. I didn’t get to purchase the ticket last year before all the ticket got sold out within minutes…so, this year, I was ready and I got the tickets! Also, they doubled up on their tickets, which helped as well. I […]
Vicky’s Diner – CLOSED
I first found this little diner three years ago. I was having lunch on my own at the counter, and the owner, Vicky was there with a friendly smile on a warm, quiet, peaceful day. It was a very memorable visit, because the peacefulness came to an abrupt end when I realized that they are […]
Shinsuke in NEW YORK @Kajitsu
There is something exciting about a pop-up restaurant that is only going to be available for a short time. We found a Japanese pop-up restaurant from Tokyo called Shinsuke, taking over Kajitsu restaurant for a short time. After learning a bit about Shinsuke, we got very curious and decided to go. We made it on […]
