One of my goals in New York was to eat at David Chang’s Momofuku Ko but after trying to reserve at all his four restaurants I only found success at Má Pêche. My cousins gave me free reign to choose all the restaurants I wanted to eat at in New York. Our first lunch wasContinue reading “Má Pêche and Momofuku Milk Bar”

After walking around Times Square a bit we went to Magnolia Bakery to try their famous cupcakes and oter goodies.

I boughtContinue reading “Magnolia Bakery”

After the wonderful and very filling dinner at Joe’s Shanghai my cousin drove us to the World Trade Center site for a drive by. This is all we saw. I did say we didn’t have time for sightseeing.

The dishes feature a vast array of seasonalContinue reading “Lunch at PassionFish”
Mushroom Crêpe Cake

I saw this recipe on Smitten Kitchen and I filed it on my simplenote iPad app for cooking in the future. SinceContinue reading “Mushroom Crêpe Cake”
Portabella Mushroom w/ Seafood Stuffing

My cousin La was so busy with her work in DC and running around with her kids and their after school activities so I volunteered to get our dinner at Costco. I love Costco and would go gladly go for anyContinue reading “Portabella Mushroom w/ Seafood Stuffing”

After brunch at Carlyle we went to Best Buns Bread Company next door. I had to see the place where all the wonderful bread we ate at Carlyle and Coastal Flats came from. When we opened the door we were assaulted with the heavenly smell of freshly baked bread and all kinds of sweet breads.Continue reading “Best Buns Bread Company”
Brunch at Carlyle

I really liked the way it looked, with red brick roads and so many restaurants side by side. We went to Carlyle for brunch. CarlyleContinue reading “Brunch at Carlyle”
