    NYC Winter Restaurant Week: Payard

    For NYC’s Winter Restaurant Week, which is still going on, I dragged all my wonderful friends to Payard Patisserie & Bistro. It’s located on Lexington between 73rd and 74th St…a nice location since it’s right next to the 6. Trust me, the weather in NY is extremely cold so anything near a subway station is KEY to a…

    Yes, It’s Time for a Review

    Hello hello…I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve actually blogged, but since I’m a second semester senior, it’s about time I picked this up again. Hopefully y’all missed my lovely adventures. This time it was at a place called Stand (click for the NYMag review), which just recently opened. It’s located on 12th St.…

    After A Long Break…Japanese!

    Yes, I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged…I completelyapologize for my lack of food entries and journies. It’s been quite hectic lately – job search, school work, midterms, club activities. All those things add up to ZERO free time. However, I’ve found time to go to restaurants, eat, and take pictures. I gotta say, one of…

  • August Part 1

    August Part 1

    Long time no blog! It’s been quite a busy few weeks finishing up my internship, seeing friends from home, helping out with freshmen orientation at NYU…so I apologize for the lack of entries. However, that doesn’t mean I’m taking any less pictures. My friends around me can testify to that. My ability to sneak in…

    Jane + S’mac

    Because my uncle was here from the awesome little island, Taiwan, my mom wanted to show him to Jane. She apparently loves this place. I don’t believe they’ve truly experienced what American Brunch is, so that was great showing them how it is. This is what I got – a mushroom omelette. Since it’s been a while,…

    This past Thursday, my wonderful roommate Vic organized a nice outting to Vong which is one of Jean-Georges’ restaurants. As you can see from the lovely entrance, it was quite a fancy smansy place for us poor college students (with paying internships!). It is Thai-French cuisine…who would have thought that those two would come together.…

    The July 4th Weekend

    Yay for Independence Day! I got to go home to Long Island and chill with some friends throughout the weekend. I gotta say, it’s way relaxing just laying on my couch, watching tv, and letting my brain rot away. haha. This also meant that I got to eat for “free” – eating good Taiwanese cooking…

    Successfully Blown My Money on Food

    Even though I’m earning money right now with my internship, I realize that if I keep spending the amount of money I did this past weekend it’s all pointless. Nonetheless, it’s been real fun eating around, being with family and friends to try out places, and complain about our lives. hahaha. After extensive research for…

  • A Classy Sunday

    A Classy Sunday

    This past Sunday was mucho funo. Normally I stick to the cheapest food around, being the poor college student that I am. However, my friends and I found ourselves buying expensive things – a $80.00 shirt! – and relatively good cheap white wine – $11.99 – from Vintage New York. After considerable amount of walking in…

    Introductions are Necessary

    FINALLY! The start of my food blog. Many of you have been wondering when I would actually start something like this, in which I said,”I don’t know…I need to think of a name!” After much debate and thought with www.dictionary.com or just surfing the net, nothing really came about. I wanted my name to come…
