We were lucky to go attend a fun event hosted by Momofuku Noodle Bar at their East Village location. They had this interesting large photo print at the entrance, I wonder what the story behind that is… As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and nice drinks. The first drink […]
I found this lovely spot from my parents in 2019. I was so looking forward to revisiting Kamameshi Hana when we return to Japan. Finally after a long wait due to pandemic, we got to go back to Japan and to Kamameshi Hana! Japan is still very careful with the virus, so most people are […]
After having an awesome breakfast at Junkissa PanEsu, we looked for a lunch spot that is as awesome. We walked by Tokyo Tarako spaghetti a day before, and it was packed with people waiting outside. We went over around 11am, and it was still quiet. The entrance is on the second floor, so we walked […]
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 […]
This is one of the restaurants I selected when my mother and niece was visiting us here in NYC in September 2022. I was looking for a restaurant near the theater district, but not one of those tourist trap type places. The menu at Boqueria looked enticing, and it was close enough to the theater […]
The very first restaurant we visited during our trip to Japan was a brand new restaurant callled Mokichi Kamakura. They are owned and operated by a Sake Brewery (how cool is that?), and this is their newest Mokichi location, just opened in December of 2022. My brother from another mother took us to this spot, […]
After about 3 and a half years later, we finally were able to go back to Japan! It was a long time coming… And yes, we had some amazing meals in Japan! One of the best culinary experiences we’ve had was at a restaurant called NUAGE ET VENT, which means Cloud and Wind. The name […]

If you’ve read my blogs enough, you will know my love for Speakeasies, like the The Little Shop and The Honey Well in NYC. There are other Speakeasy type of spots, which are more of a restaurants rather than bars. Sushi Lab Rooftop is kind of a Speakeasy restaurant, as it is a bit hidden […]
The last restaurant we visited last fall before we headed back home was Salvatore’s Ristorante. I say we did great job finding amazing restaurants during this trip, such as Beach Road Restaurant and The Pawnee House. We did, however, had some not-so-great dining experience as well, which I will not mention… We were hoping for […]
