Lunches at Marea & Momofuku Ssäm Bar

thewanderingeater — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 08:25:59 PDT

I’m putting my HK/China posts on the back burner for now since I’m eating out NYC a bit more since it’s SUMMER here. If you’re anticipating the HK/China posts, just hang on for a bit. Sorry. Back on June 11th, I had lunch at Marea, after reading positive reviews on this...

Tuna shavings in chili lime oil [Flickr]

It looked like they were running low on samples as well (this was around 1 PM).

The tuna was alright. A bit too bland for the chili oil component.

Still bustling and don't want to wait in line for their single serving of ravioli.

One petit four per person? You might as well give a more decent sampling and close up shop early like Porther House.

They actually put an effort to their samplings.

I only tried their couscous (with a chicken chunk, sausage, and beef, methinks? It's a blur of eating since everyone's in your way and there's no table space.) It's very delicious.

The other thing they're sampling out is the grilled Mahi-Mahi. It did looked good.

Exploring the Vast Supermarket in a Mall: Sogo

thewanderingeater — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:42:14 PDT

I’m not really going in chronological order with my Hong Kong/China vacation posts. I’m following my Flickr photos and my memory (if it’s that helpful). Anyway, this originally took place on May 2nd (that’s most of the pics) and May 10th, 2009 (repeat because of hauling...

Jacques Torres’ Decadent Waffle Ice Cream Sundae

thewanderingeater — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:08:52 PDT

This is an interruption from my HK/China vacation series. I’ll continue it…soon. I just want to keep my blog somewhat updated with the NYC food scene. About two weeks ago I went to Jacques Torres‘ chocolate shop down in the West Village because of 2 reasons: I attended a Wine...

Dim Sums at Sportful Garden Restaurant, Hong Kong

thewanderingeater — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:24:24 PDT

My Hong Kong/China vacation took place on April 29 – May 10, 2009. I know I’m way overdue on these posts but at least I’m writing it – in a sloth-like pace. This post is an overall review of the multiple times (four, if you need to know) I’ve eaten dim sum at Sportful...

Day 1 in Hong Kong: Adorable Kittens and A Japanese Izakaya Buffet

Taken place back on April 29th. Yeah, I’m that behind. This is Day 1 of my vacation that dates from April 29th – May 10th (May 11 was my flight back to NYC.) Flying from JFK to Hong Kong International was a long and sort of exciting. It’s my first solo international flight that...

Observations of Hong Kong & Parts of China

thewanderingeater — Sat, 23 May 2009 09:19:32 PDT

Many stairs, grocery shopping, and a night shot As some of you might or care know, I’m back from Hong Kong (nearly 2 weeks ago). I don’t know whether I should be excited or be impartial coming back to NYC but seeing my bed was probably the highlight of coming back home! And I suffered...

I’m Back in NYC…Over A Week Ago

thewanderingeater — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:17:30 PDT

Hello readers! I’m back in NYC over a week ago. I would have written a short post indicating this fact but, uh, I was dying of jet lag. A 12-hour difference and boarding on a 16-hour flight (with insomnia effecting me) doesn’t help my sense of time when I got back home. Anyhoo, during...

Rich Design Cookies

As most of you who read this blog, should know that I have a colossal sweet tooth – eating from haute restaurant desserts to a simple bowl of ice cream. Simply stating, dessert (and food, in general) has to taste delicious. Recently, I’ve been bestowed upon a shipment of cookies...
