December 18, 2017September 30, 2019 Food Lover Girl

I am a fan of Dominique Ansel Bakery, and I have visited Dominuque Ansel Kitchen twice (you can read about them here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-kitchen-2/ ). I even visited the ones in Japan (you can read about them here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-bakery-omotesando/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-bakery-ginza/ ). But yet, I still haven’t visited Dominique Ansel Bakery in NYC…until now. With its crazy […]

City Perch Kitchen + Bar

December 4, 2017December 3, 2017 Food Lover Girl

One of my favorite theaters is iPic Theater (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/ and here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights-2/ ). There is a huge restaurant connected to the theater, who also serves food in the theater. Even though we ordered food off the in-theater dining menu, we never actually dined in the restaurant. So, we decided to have an […]

Nagomino Yoneya

This shop is one of the local’s secret gem, it is a this traditional Japanese confectionery and sweets store. It has the old-fashion exterior that matches their offerings. It is kind of interesting to see this type of building surrounded by more modern apartment complexes. Inside it nice and large, with so many different kind […]

Straw Hat Café @ Ghibli Museum

December 1, 2017May 14, 2020 Food Lover Girl

During our visit to Japan, one of the top places we wanted to go was Ghibli Museum, and dine at their Straw Hat Café. We are a big fan of their animated films, and I heard such great things about this museum from my family. The admission ticket is not easy to get, so we […]

Heart Bread Antique

November 22, 2017September 30, 2019 Food Lover Girl

When we went shopping in an indoor mall in Japan, the fantastic aroma of baked bread and inviting sugary sweetness pulled me in… The first thing I saw was a cute yellow storefront with a name of my mother (and my mother-in-law)’s favorite movie, “Mamma Mia!” I of course had to check it out. It […]

Olio e Piú #2

November 20, 2017November 24, 2017 Food Lover Girl

This is my second review of Olio e Piú (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/olio-e-piu/). We had such a great time the first visit, we went back for more. We decided to sit inside this time, and it was quite lovely. Still, quite tight with tables and chairs put closed to each other, and […]

KitKat Chocolatory @ Takashimaya

November 19, 2017November 14, 2017 Food Lover Girl

One thing Japanese people do so much better than anyone else (in my opinion) is how they elevate desserts and sweets to the next level. They even make a simple snack, KitKat to something fancy and elegant! We went to visit one of their KitKat “Chocolatory” locations in Tokyo. The store was decorated like some […]

L.A. Burdick Chocolate & Devoción Coffee

November 13, 2017November 9, 2017 Food Lover Girl

I have been a fan of L.A. Burdick Chocolate ever since my love brought me a surprise sweet gift from here, several years ago. They have all sorts of handmade chocolates, from Bonbons, Truffles, Caramels and few other delectable and adorable items. They moved to its current location on Prince Street a little while ago. […]

Mister Donut @ LaLa Port

One of my favorite donut shop in Japan, wait, in the “world” is Mister Donut in Japan. Their donuts are just freakin’ great!!! High quality, amazing selections and super delicious. No matter when, where, or what, they have never disappointed me. When I was visiting Japan, I saw Mister Donut in a shopping mall, and […]

Ninomaru Tea Room @ Kakegawa Castle

November 8, 2017December 29, 2017 Food Lover Girl

When we visited Kakegawa Castle while our trip to Shizuoka, we visited their Japanese Tea Room on the premises. Kakegawa Castle was originally built about 500 years ago. However, most of the castle was destroyed in the big earthquake of 1854. It was rebuilt in 1944, and it was the first castle Japan to be […]
