Even though 6 flavors were listed on the menu, they only had 4. But, Liz was very kind to get me 3 of each!

My Birthday Cake – White Velvet Cake with Milk Chocolate Ganache

thewanderingeater — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:45:09 PST

The past weekend I baked my birthday cake early. I don’t mean a few days early, I meant a week early. Why? you ask. Well, this weekend I’m pretty busy with going to the Cook.Eat.Live food event, meeting up with a bunch of friends for dinner, and trying to fit in some studying time for...

François Chocolate Bar – Still In Preview Phase, Pretty Much

thewanderingeater — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:18:22 PST

I read about a week ago from Grub Street about Payard re-opening and ogled at their dessert menu. I am a sucker for desserts and Payard’s is no exception. I was shocked when they did have to close their Lexington Avenue restaurant/café the past June or so and it’s about time for us...

François Chocolate Bar in Mauboussin

of Verrine de Fruit Rouges. Not exactly photogenic but it gives you what's within the verrine's strata.

I loved how airy, smooth and creamy the mousses were and the hint of tartness from the berries.

Post about my visits, here.

Taken place on October 5, 2009. Exterior & Interior Back when Motorino (the East Village location) started to serve lunch, I asked Giulia if we can meet up and try the pizza that everyone was talking about. I missed out on the opening week when dinner was served. But then again, I’d...

French Invasion at P.S. 1 Contemporary Arts Center in L.I.C. – The good and the bad

Originally taken place on September 26, 2009. Inside Le Fooding About a month or so prior to the Le Fooding event at P.S. 1, almost every major website (like NY Times’ Dining Journal and Serious Eats) wrote about them, pretty much bringing a lot of hype, arguably speaking, to this particular...

Lunch at Jean Georges

thewanderingeater — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:14:50 PDT

Taken place on September 25, 2009. I do admit I’m being terribly lazy but explaining every minute detail of my experience at Jean Georges might be a bit boring to you readers (since I wrote about them thrice already, not counting this post). I’ll let my photos to do the talking. Most...

Lunch at Casa Mono – Take 2

thewanderingeater — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:12:35 PDT

Taken place on September 4, 2009. Around the second week when Ruskie is in town, we arranged to have lunch at Casa Mono. Both of us went there before but we’d agree that it would be nice to visit there again since it’s been a while and we did like their food (in our disparate ways). ...

Tasting Lunch at Gramercy Tavern

thewanderingeater — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:03:42 PDT

Eaten back on September 2nd, 2009. (I’m working on it…) Dining Room Interior I have to admit, if I haven’t said it yet, I love Gramercy Tavern. It has the casual, down-home earthiness yet it’s innovative of what one would expect from fancy pants fare. The service is great,...
