Russian Tea Room is one of the most iconic restaurant in NYC. I have always been curious about them, but didn’t really have had the chance to visit. I decided to take an advantage during the Winter Restaurant Week NYC, and try their Russian cuisine. They were founded by members of the Russian Imperial Ballet in […]
Finding a good food at any airport is always a challenge. Sometimes, you get lucky, but most of the time, you are not getting much of quality or tasty food. Most of us have learned to “settle” for whatever is available at the airport…(you can read my other experiences on airport food at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/custom-burger-newark-airport/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/wolfgang-puck-express/).

When someone mentions “Sonoma Valley,” most people will think wine tasting. Which is great, but what can be even better than wine tasting? Wine infused chocolate tasting! As we were walking through Sonoma Plaza when we spotted a lovely sign that said “Chocolate Tasting.” We got very excited and walked straight over to the store. […]
This is my second review of Hill Country Chicken (you can read my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/hill-country-chicken/). The last time I visited, I was so full that I didn’t have any room left in my tummy to try their awesome looking desserts. And since we absolutely loved their chicken and waffles, we wanted more of […]
There are Italian restaurants everywhere in Japan, mainly chain restaurant that does not offer that home-cooked feel anymore. So, when a small scale Italian restaurant that you can see and taste that the dishes are home made, it really hit that warm spot in your heart (or your tummy). My friend took us to this […]
One of the most delicate desserts out there (to me) is mille crêpes. They are so rich, sweet, and elegant… You can find them at many places including restaurants and cafe, but my favorite so far is the one from Lady M. I think many others feel the same way, because it is almost always […]
It is always good to have a nice cafe in a neighborhood, where the locals can gather and relax while enjoying each other’s company. And if the cafe has really good coffee or sweets, or both, then it will be even better. While we were in Sonoma Valley, we found this cafe with lots of […]
I like desserts, and I love really awesome desserts. So, I am always looking for a good dessert spots. I first visited Little Cupcake Bakeshop several years ago, at their Manhattan location. I remember the cheese cake was really good, and I remember it was pretty busy. I have been to the Manhattan location a […]
When you are in a middle of “concrete jungle” a.k.a. busy city with high risers and not much greenery, you start to crave the peaceful scenery with lots of trees and flowers, and just simply want to be surrounded by beautiful greens. Such place do exist in Tokyo as well, it might not be as […]
I like a little cafe with local regulars, or a cafe that just look so cute and inviting. This cafe was one of those. The inside is small, with that very warm, cozy feeling. Not many tables, around 5 or 6, and the ones against the brick wall had bench seating on one side, and […]
