I’ve wanted to try one of David Chang’s Momofuku restaurants on my last few trips to NYC, but it’s never worked out before. Reading through other blog posts and reviews, it seemed that reservations were impossible to get and that for those that didn’t take reservations, (Noodle Bar) the wait time was always an hour … Continue reading »
One of the traits that I got from my father is my need for plans and to live by a schedule. I like to say that I like surprises, but just need to know about them in advance. When I prepare for a trip, I map out my food destinations and have back-up and back-up … Continue reading »
This is Call Me A Food Lover’s 100th post. A cause for celebration, especially since my 1 year Blogiversary came and went without me noticing.

Wanting to delight in these wonderful creatures while … Continue reading »
Work’s been a bit of a drag lately, probably because it’s feels like forever since I’ve been on an adventure, (but I’m 12 days to NYC and 36 to HK!). To try to get myself out of my funk, I decided that I should spoil myself with a fantastic lunch. It didn’t take much convincing to … Continue reading »
It was a cold and rainy April. I live in Vancouver, so rainy is one thing, but this below seasonally average temperatures is getting to me a bit.
