One thing I love about Japanese cuisine is their sweets. They really do great job with pastries and all sorts of desserts. It is somehow more delicate, light, and never overly sweet. No matter which one you chose, you can almost be certain that you will get a great flavor. A quick background about Cafe […]
This is my third review of Caffè Storico. (You can see my previous reviews at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/caffe-storico-2/ & http://www.foodlovergirl.com/caffe-storico/) So as you can see, I like going to this restaurant for 2 reasons. Beautiful restaurant with good food, and the fact that it is inside a beautiful museum. I enjoy art, creating and seeing, so we were […]
One thing you can count on when it comes to Harajuku is that you can always get a good crepe anywhere. There are so many crepe stores on the main street of Harajuku, the only issue will be how to decide which crepe stores are you going to get your crepe from..? Compare to when […]
I grew up with great Japanese sweets and snacks, and one of the best sweets that reminds me of my childhood is “Cream Pan” or cream bun, basically a bread filled with sweet custard cream. The kind I used to have came from local bakery, but there are some serious professional who takes anything that […]
This is my second review of the Yankee Stadium. You can read my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/yankee-stadium/ Even though I am not a huge fan of baseball, going to a baseball stadium and watch the game right in front of you is always a fun experience. And even more so, the new Yankee Stadium offers more […]
When you visit a new place, you hear about some spots you should definitely go before your trip is over from everyone. Hot Cookie is one of those places that people tell you go in SF. It is in Castro district, and it is a small counter-serve bakery, offering homemade cookies. Inside is very vibrant […]
This is my second review of Saggio. (You can see my first review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/saggio/) This place was so warm and tasty that we went back for more. They have hand-written special menu of the day, addition to their regular menu. What they offer on the special menu of the day is almost always recommended […]
I discovered this awesome cream puff store, Beard Papa’s Fresh’n Natural Cream Puffs in NYC (you can read my full review on NYC location at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/beard-papas/). They have stores around the world, and of course, they have several locations in Japan, as they are one of the best countries who does pastry creation so well… […]
I love chocolate. I don’t understand the ones who say otherwise. How can you not love chocolate, am I right? A pastry chef, Jacques Torres, started a chocolate store in Brooklyn, where everything is made from scratch. It is one of my favorite “local” chocolate here in NYC. From all the cute and tasty little […]
Bronx Zoo does not have a great food option (in my opinion) from my experience (read my review at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dancing-crane-cafe-bronx-zoo/). However, there is still a fun treat you can find at the Zoo. Yes, there is always hope! The hope started with the sign that said “Roast Your Own! Smores & Marshmallows.” There were large […]
