First Dinner at Sa Aming Nayon – NYC
11.12.11 | Permalink | 6 Comments

Sa Aming Nayon is another Filipino restaurant to open in the East Village this year, and since I read about the crispy pata in the Village Voice, I’ve been longing for crispy pork leg. This past weekend, David and I finally dropped by for pork leg and a little bit more. MORE »

Buckwheat Ricotta Pancake at Goat Town – NYC
10.12.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Unless you love black-colored foods, this may not look very appetizing, but in actuality this was hella’ OMFG delicious. On Sunday, I had an odd craving for pancakes — odd because for breakfast/brunch, I normally prefer savory over sweet and waffles over pancakes — and ended up ordering the Buckwheat Ricotta Pancake ($12) at Goat Town. Notice pancake is singular. At Goat Town, instead of a stack of pancakes, you get one large, domed buckwheat pancake studded with pink lady apple slices, topped with whipped ricotta cream and walnuts, drizzled with honey, and dusted with powdered sugar.

First Brunch at Maharlika – NYC

Variations on brunch are always welcome in my book, so when I heard
Maharlika — of past Filipino pop-up fame — opened a real restaurant on 1st Avenue, I was pretty stoked. Sizzling sisig for brunch? I’m down. So a few weeks later, I was there bright and early with David in tow. MORE »

Blueberry Pierogi at Veselka – NYC
08.13.11 | Permalink | 5 Comments

If you’re a fan of Veselka, a fan of pierogi, or maybe a fan of blueberries, you probably know about Veselka’s seasonal blueberry pierogi. It’s basically blueberries rolled in sugar, wrapped in dough, boiled, and served with sour cream. I’m more of a savory pierogi person (cheese or potato-filled — preferably fried — topped with caramelized onions and sour cream), but when it’s hot as hell and you want something light, it fits the bill quite nicely. Although secretly, I do wish they came fried, like mini blueberry pies you can pop in your mouth one at a time. I was told by a waitress in the past, however, they couldn’t fry the blueberry pierogi because the berries would pop in the frying process. Also, I’m sure creating anything bite-size filled with exploding, hot balls of fruit lava and grease is a lawsuit just waiting to happen. MORE »

Burger & Poutine at the Brindle Room – NYC
06.09.11 | Permalink | 6 Comments

Before our trip to Greece, even though David and I were trying to get our bodies beach-ready, we decided a little caloric splurge at the Brindle Room was in order. Anyway, it one of those rare days duck confit poutine ($13) was on the dinner menu (Brindle Room tweets when poutine is available), so really, we had to go. MORE »
