Yakiniku Champion (焼肉ãƒãƒ£ãƒ³ãƒ”オン): Premium Meats, Japanese Eats!
I’m starting off this new year with a post about a meal in 2015 because, well frankly, it was really delicious. It was one of my more memorable meals during my Asia trip; to no one’s surprise the meal was in Japan where the “average” restaurant would probably kill it in SF or NYC in terms of…

Best Bites of 2015
As I reflect upon this year with big changes like moving to a new city (chime in “California love”), entering a new decade (“30s is the new 20s” according to Jay-Z), and starting a new job, I couldn’t help but come up with a list of my best bites for this year. It spans several…

Taiwan: Foodie Heaven Pt. 3 – Delicious Meals
If you haven’t noticed already, Taiwan is full of food and frankly I have too many pictures to show for it. Â Because Taiwan is full of street stands, it’s hard to tell you where half of where these dishes are found. Â Just know that this tiny island right next to China is truly a heaven…

Taiwan: Foodie Heaven Pt. 2 – Honey Toast
One of the latest dessert crazes in Taipei right now would be for an item called honey toast. Â It comes in different flavors and from my understanding, is made popular by Dazzling Cafe. Â Located in one of the younger trendy areas in Taipei, it is fair to say that getting a table is hard, (try…

Break From the Big City: Snow Goose Bed & Breakfast
Sometimes you need some time to get away from it all, look at some pretty trees and leaves, and breathe in the fresh crisp air. I’ve decided to make this an annual trip – seeing fall foliage in the Northeast – and drove up to the Adirondacks, upstate New York. I stayed at a wonderful…

Mountains of Ice!
I know spring has only begun, but that doesn’t mean we can’t think and crave summer foods right? One particular ingredient pops into my mind: Shaved Ice. Ice is such a versatile ingredient when it comes to creating a delicious dessert, especially when consuming it under the hot, humid sun, nothing is quite like how…

Raleigh, NC…Is There a Food Scene?
To answer the question “Is there a food scene in Raleigh, NC?” I would venture to say…yes. Okay, it cannot compare to New York (obviously) but it’s certainly has made a mark on my mind to becoming a growing city with some yummy eats. Sadly I don’t have pictures of the Carolinian pulled pork dish…
