Tung Woo is Soyriffic – NYC

Soy custard (douhua) is one of my favorite dim sum desserts, so when I read about the soy custard at Tung Woo on Eating in Translation, I knew a visit was in the near future. MORE »

Doughnuts at Wonder City Coffee & Doughnuts – NYC

04.19.11 | Permalink | 5 Comments

As you may have noticed, I’ve been eating a lot of doughnuts lately. Why so doughnut-crazy you ask? Well, one reason is that all of a sudden, there are a lot of good doughnuts in New York. Case in point, around the corner of my apartment, early in the morning, The Brindle Room magically transforms into Wonder City Coffee & Doughnuts. MORE »

Sponge Cake with Pork Floss at Natalie Bakery – NYC

My afternoon snacks are usually sweet, but today it was a little savory and a little sweet. Imagine just the top of a Chinese sponge cake (remember the muffin tops on Seinfeld?) with pork floss and scallions, and that’s basically what I ate. Surprisingly, it was the scallions that made the cake taste more savory than the pork. Also, the scallions did a good job of stinking up my cubicle for a few minutes. All in a good day’s work.

Top 5 at Village Voice Choice Eats Tasting Event – NYC

04.07.11 | Permalink | 3 Comments

Last Tuesday was my first time at Choice Eats, The 4th Annual Village Voice Tasting Event. I’ve avoided the event in previous years because I heard it was a madhouse; and indeed, it was a madhouse full of seemingly starved inmates and a few agitated guards. There was a fair deal of pushing and shoving, eating was difficult at times (unwieldy portions of food from some restaurants), and waiting was inevitable at the more popular tables (e.g., Takashi and Del Posto) even with a press pass. BUT, as long as you persevered, delicious food was to be had. Here’s my top five from the event… (I didn’t bother with Takashi and Del Posto. A real restaurant visit is in the works.) MORE »

Morning Doughnut Fun at Doughnut Plant – NYC

02.18.11 | Permalink | 15 Comments

This past Sunday was spent eating Chinese food, but the previous Sunday was spent eating doughnuts, er…. and then eating Chinese food. Nicholas was back in town and we decided to meet up for some doughnut fun at Doughnut Plant. His sister (T), Robyn, and Robyn’s friend Alex also joined in on the morning doughnut eating action. Of course at first there was a lot of bitchin’ on my part because Nick wanted to meet at 10 am and at one point someone suggested 9 am. My reaction: ‘Hell to the no!’ After many, many emails (all protests on my part), we finally settled on 10:30. As expected, I was late, Nick almost missed his bus back to Philly (SORRY!), and many tasty doughnuts were eaten. MORE »

Prune Armagnac gelato from Il Laboratorio del Gelato reminds me of rum raisin but actually good.
