A fun thing about any kind of holiday, big or small, is that they get their own special treats. During March, we went to get some fun green treat for St. Patrick’s Day. We found an enticing and tasty sign in front of Maison Kayser one evening, we decided to try it out. The […]

Double Knot
There is something about speakeasy that is so sexy and attractive…maybe it is the secrecy, or the mysteriousness of it, or just a simple joy of discovering a hidden gem. We enjoyed our dinner at an izakaya-style speakeasy in Philly called Royal Izayaka (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/royal-izakaya/). Then, we found another pretty […]
Tuna Bar
I am always curious and eater to find a Japanese or Japanese-inspired food scenery wherever I go. Here in Philly, I found this spot called Tuna Bar who had some interesting sushi rolls. So, we went over to check it out. I was in a new, modern looking building. With the wall facing the street […]

City Tavern
While we were traveling in Philadelphia, we saw this interesting sign hanging outside a red brick building. After a quick research, we found out this is a very unique restaurant. It comes with rich history, the building was commissioned as the City Tavern around 1773. What I thought was really cool was that in July […]
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 […]
J’aime French Bakery
When we travel, we must find some good desserts/sweets! The best time to consume lots of sugar and calorie is in the morning (in my opinion), so we went to this cute little bakery & cafe serving French pastries, sandwiches, crepes & coffee for breakfast. We got there quite early in the morning, so there was no […]
Beiler’s Doughnuts
When we visited the Reading Terminal Market, we found this lovely doughnut spot with a long line. My hubby wanted to get some doughnuts from here, so we decided to get in line as well. They have been making the doughnuts the Amish way for 30 years, each one hand rolled, and of course, made […]
Tanner Smith’s #2
This is our second visit to Tanner Smith’s, and we went to very early brunch. Well, what we didn’t realize is that they do “breakfast” and not brunch from 8am – 11am. However, it seems like they were changing out the menu from breakfast menu to brunch menu at 10:30am, around the time we were […]
Federal Donuts #2
I’ve had Federal Donuts before (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/federal-donuts/), but I haven’t had them at their shop, super fresh. Also, we heard about their delicious chicken sandwich, so we decided to go for a visit. They have a few locations, and we picked the one that is in more of a residential […]
