The benefit to booking economy flight ticket would be the price. The benefit of purchasing (or upgrading to) Premium Economy flight with JAL? The access to their wonderful lounge! This is one of those things where “you didn’t know you needed/wanted it until you found out of the existence of it.” I never had the […]
Sole Proprietor offers seafood, sushi, and raw bar. I visited this spot a few times in the past, and I always had a good experience with food and service. BUT, sometimes, good things end… or, you simply get unlucky. The inside is pretty large, separated into several sections; raw bar, large dining room, and […]
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 […]
My favorite cuisine is seafood. The fresher, the better. If it is Japanese, even better. So, where can you get such seafood? Right by (or inside) the fish market in Japan! Yes, there are some famous ones out there, but you don’t need to go to the famous (a.k.a. crowded with tourists) fish market super […]
I discovered this restaurant through an event, and boy, it was a great and tasty event! If you are (or were) a fan of Chipotle at any point of your life, this might interest you, as they have very similar concept. After being there once, I fell in love with the place (and the food, of […]
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/). Here […]
One of the most famous quick & cheap eats of NYC is Papaya King. I know there are other “Papaya” guys out there, like Gray’s Papaya Dog (founded by a former partner of Papaya King), and Papaya Dog, but I believe Papaya King is the oldest, and original. The history of this establishment is quite […]
One experience I always try to have when I am in Japan is Kabuki Theater. My eldest sister took me there every time I visited Japan, and I really enjoyed the entire experience, from the theater, culture, ambiance, and of course, the food. It was also the time I got to spend a whole day […]
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. […]
Ramen is one of the best Japanese comfort food (to me), you can have it in so many different style, different broth, toppings, etc., and is especially good during the cold months. But, finding a good ramen restaurant is another story. While we were in SF, we found this place called Katana-ya where they served […]
