I’ve had Ippudo ramen on my radar for over 4 years. It’s been sitting on my “to try” list since I read that it’s one of the best ramen in New York City. But on my first, and then subsequent visits to NYC, I haven’t visited because it’s never been convenient and I haven’t been … Continue reading »
I did so much eating in Japan that I’ve realized that I can’t write every post as an epic adventure. So even though this one ends with my dad and I laughing so hard that I was crying as we raced away from the scene of a “crime”, I won’t share the story with you. … Continue reading »
I have neglected the blog lately. It’s not that I haven’t been eating fabulously, it’s just that in the frenzy of my regular life, I haven’t had time to post. But the longer it goes between posts, the harder it is for me to get something up. And seeing as I’m in the home stretch before … Continue reading »
After a couple of very crazy weeks of work I was in need of an adventure to blow off some steam. A weekend in Seattle? Yes please! Friday 1:30pm – Leaving home later than I’d like and I’m in a bad mood because I know we’re going to hit traffic. 2:20pm – Peace Arch border … Continue reading »
One of the meals I remember eating from my last trip to Hong Kong 5 years ago was a special spicy crab dish that I had in Causeway Bay. If memory served me correctly, the crab was very garlicky, very spicy and somewhat addictive. When I was planning my food adventures in Hong Kong, the … Continue reading »
I think I mentioned it before, but Hong Kong is a food frustrating city to me. I know there’s good food out there, but from my experience it’s not that easy to find it. Granted, because I was in Hong Kong to compete in a dragon boat festival, I was more careful not to put … Continue reading »
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 »
On a hot summer’s evening, nothing’s better to have for dinner than cold somen. Somen is basically a very thin udon noodle, although it can be eaten warm in broth, I only know to eat it served on ice, dipped into a sauce, (mentsuyu or tsuyu for short) garnished with green onions, ginger and my … Continue reading »
I met up with Ben and his crew for lunch today because I heard they were going to Peaceful Noodle, which is one of my favorite noodle houses. Almost every dish I’ve tried there is good, but it’s hard not to order the “same old, same old” when they’re so good! We started with the Peaceful beef roll, which is … Continue reading »
My work lunch pal and I haven’t had a lot of time for each other lately, which has meant that I’ve been doing take-out solo and eating lunch at my desk. Tired of going to the same 4 places that are within a block from my office, I reached out… Continue reading »
