One of the Thai restaurant that we really enjoyed in the past was Uncle Boons. They were very popular and with its small interior, it was not easy to get a seat on a busy night. Unfortunately, they closed its door permanently during the pandemic… The sister restaurant, Thai Diner has survived, and they offer […]

Glaze Donuts
I love all sorts of desserts, and one of my favorites would be donuts. The favorite donut spot in the world would still be Mister Donut in Japan. I absolutely love their donuts!!! Unfortunately, it is a long way to travel for donuts….but, there are many other donut spots nearby that I love, such as […]
Burger Heights 2020
We first tried Burger Heights in 2017, and we became a fan of their burgers and shakes. Dining out during the COVID time has been tough, and therefore, we haven’t really gone out to eat as much this year. Same for food deliveries, we don’t usually get deliveries to begin with, and that part didn’t […]
Mochimochi Kai Sweets
It seems like this year was the year of mochi donuts. We tried some mochi donuts from The Dough Club towards the beginning of the year, and since then, I started to see this “Pon de Ring” style mochi donuts popping up at other places. When we heard that there is a popular mochi donut […]
Maison Pickle #3
Since our very first visit at Maison Pickle, it has become our instant favorite. We did go back the second time to see if it all just a delicious dream, and they proved to us that they are indeed real! So, it was only fitting that we made time to dine here right before NYC […]
Mochinut
Mochinut opened just a few weeks ago, at the end of September. They currently have 8 locations, most of them in CA, and planning to open another 8 or 9 locations, again, mostly in CA. We got to try some mochi donuts from The Dough Club in Chinatown right before the pandemic, and we really […]
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
One place we always go to when we visit Japan is Kappa Sushi. Japan is full of fun sushi place that delivers sushi plates on conveyor belts, called Kaiten Sushi. I have seen a few places like that in NYC come and go, but never had a chance to try one anywhere in the US. […]
The Station Grill #2
We first tried out The Station Grill in March, and we loved it so much, we went back again and again during that spring. When we went back during the summer, we wanted to visit The Station Grill again, even just one time. When we finally got to go back, we saw their middle patio […]
Trevi Cafe and Wine Bar
We went to Cape Cod in July for the R&R. Even though we (still) don’t feel safe enough to go outdoor dining in NYC, we felt ok to do that in Cape Cod, with much less people and much less virus scare. We went to Trevi Cafe and Wine Bar, where they had a nice […]
Frutero Ice Cream
it is really hot and humid out there… This summer is going to be a hot one! What can we do to keep ourselves cool in a delicious way? Have some yummy ice cream! I have a few favorite ice cream places: Tipsy Scoop, Shug’s Soda Fountain, and Ample Hills Creamery, just to name a […]
