When I heard that a new Japanese restaurant focusing on meat dishes just opened up, I had to go check them out immediately! The restaurant is called Prime Meat Rokko, and the owner has a few restaurant (mostly yakiniku restaurants) in Japan. From doing a quick research on Prime Meat Rokko, this restaurant seems to […]
Since we didn’t really venture out much during the pandemic, we haven’t cry visited Brooklyn for over a year. This fabulous and cozy little café, Ciao Bella Coffee seems like the right spot to go for our first visit to Brooklyn! They have been opened for about a year, which must have been tough to […]
I recently joined an online event that featured some condiments from Kysushu Island. If you are not familiar with Japanese geography, Kyushu is one of the Southern Islands, where my mother is originally from. I received samples of the condiments to try, so after researching and reading about each products, I decided to make some […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 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 […]
