Hello long-lost food blog! Ive finally had the opportunity to find time and take care of some backlogged food pictures, including my time at Jungsik.

Prior to a NY Philharmonic concert, I decided to take my mom to Nougatine which is the front dining area of Jean Georges. We were able to eat a 3-course prix fix menu for $32, which is reasonably priced considering the level of the food and service that we experienced there. Good food, great company, [...]

With the ramen crave in NYC still going strong, I think its important to think about how much do we really love ramen? Check out this infographic to see how much we consume, innovative ramen recipes, [...]
Its been a while, but I am back and ready to blog about all these food journeys that Ive gone through in the past 3 months! Ive been working on lots of food pictures so there will be more posts to come (woo hoo!). Anyway, in December I went to Taiwan, one of the best [...]
This year at YPX Expos Celebrating Connexions, held at Studio XXI, focused on cultural and community connections for Asian Americans.
