Afternoon Brooklyn Beers Plus Wings – NYC

Not sure what took me so long, but I finally made it out to the Brooklyn Brewery last weekend. I’d always wanted to go, but when you live in New York, you take the city for granted. That’s why it’s so great when you have visitors from out-of-town. You get to do all the things you planned to do, but never did. Last weekend when the Kim sisters (Soo and Joo) were back in New York from Seoul, we made a trip to the brewery for the Saturday tours. MORE »

Big Gay Ice Cream Truck Means Summer Ain’t Over – NYC

09.21.10 | Permalink | 6 Comments

It’s been cooler the past few days, but summer ain’t over yet if the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (run by Bryan Petroff and Douglas Quint) is still going strong. Bionic Bites Facebook peeps know I’ve been eating lots of ice cream at the truck this summer, but my favorite is still the Salty Pimp ($5), vanilla soft serve on a wafer cone drizzled with dulce de leche, sprinkled with sea salt, and dipped in chocolate. Dulce de leche is nice, but salted and covered with chocolate, it’s pure summer ice cream magic. And for those who don’t like soft serve because the ice cream is always too light, fear not. The soft serve at the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is incredibly dense and creamy. My only suggestion to make it better, chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. Vanilla is good, but I’d rather have chocolate any day. And we all know once you go black, you never go back. Unfortunately though, the chocolate soft serve was out of commission the last few times I visited the truck. MORE »

Pastrami and Chopped Liver at Katz’s Deli – NYC

09.15.10 | Permalink | 16 Comments

Some people have been dogging Katz’s these days. I’m not sure why. I love Katz’s. They say the sandwiches have gone downhill. Maybe the sandwiches were better in 1888 (the year Katz’s was founded), but as far as I know, Katz’s has been going strong since the last decade. MORE »

Best Bites at Asian Feastival 2010 – NYC

09.13.10 | Permalink | 12 Comments

Long time readers know I was a huge fan of the Singapore Chilli Crab Festival. Last week, Wendy Chan (the same woman behind the Singapore Chilli Crab Festival), along with daughter and food blogger Veronica Chan, brought to Flushing Asian Feastival, and I was invited to cover the event. As can be imagined, it was a great event with several small panels, some thought-provoking (Bun Lai of Miya’s Sushi spoke about the differences of sustainable eating versus eating locally during the Sustainable Seafood Panel) and some a little more light-hearted (In the Asian American Cuisine Panel, upon asked where he gets inspiration, Akira Back of Yellowtail responded that sometimes inspiration comes from “a stupid flower.” Hilarious.). But most importantly, there were a lot of tastings from Asian restaurants all around Queens. I made sure I did a lot of “research,” and my favorites of the day were the xiaolongbao from Nan Xiang, fish cutlets from Bownie, kimchi mal-ee (김치말이) from Hahm Ji Bach (함지박), and miang kana from Ploy Thai.

Duck Buns at Corner 28 – NYC

09.08.10 | Permalink | 11 Comments

Whenever I find myself in Flushing, I always stop by the window at Corner 28 for a Peking duck bun ($1). It’s a definite must. For example, even this Monday after a day of eating xiaolongbao, momos, miang kana, fish balls, and kimchi roll-ups at Asian Feastival (post will be coming in a few days), I made sure to squeeze a duck bun into my full belly before leaving Flushing.

Bought mussels and monkfish instead. Dinner was quinoa and seafood in white wine and garlic sauce. Key was butter & basil at the end.
