Mame Miso Ramen at Misoya – NYC

If you like miso ramen, Misoya is probably the place for you. Misoya, as the name not so subtly suggests, specializes in miso. At this East Village ramen shop, you can choose from three kinds of miso; kome (rice, Hokkaido-style), shiro (white, Kyoto-style), and mame (soybean, Nagoya-style). My miso ramen of choice is… MORE »

Giving Thanks to Chinese Food – NYC

12.10.11 | Permalink | 3 Comments

So similar to last year, we ate Chinese food for Thanksgiving again. By now, it’s pretty much a point of no return for my family. I mean, given the ease, the price, and the lack of a million dishes to wash, I have a feeling we’ll never go back to the turkey feasts of the past. I still feel Thanksgiving isn’t exactly complete without a turkey, but considering the copious amount of delicious foods in the world to fill the turkey void, it’s far from horrible. For example, this year we had fried Dungeness crab, fried chicken, fried rice, and other garlicky, fried things at Canton Gourmet. Stress on the garlic and fried. MORE »

It was the BF’s birthday (Happy Birthday David!) a few weeks ago, so as I usually do, I took him out for sushi. This year we went to Jewel Bako in the East Village. It’s one of the pricier sushi restaurants in the neighborhood, but I’d say it’s worth it as long as you order correctly. MORE »

Holiday Seasonal Doughnuts from Doughnut Plant – NYC

Ever wish the doughnuts at Doughnut Plant were sweeter? I always find them perfect, but I know some people complain they’re not sweet enough. If you’re one of those people, the seasonal cranberry yeast doughnut ($2.75) is the doughnut for you. Made with fresh cranberries, you’d think this bright pink doughnut would be very tart, but it’s actually more sweet than tart. Hardcore sugar fiends, rejoice! Everyone else, order the cranberry, but get your coffee black, no sugar. It’ll keep your sugar high in check. MORE »

Noodles and Fried Things at Chinese House – NYC

For months I’ve been hearing about a really good Korean-Chinese restaurant in Queens. Personally, I’m quite happy with Mandarin in Palisades Park, so I never felt a strong desire to look any further. This was apparently not the case for Hannah, however, who texted early Saturday morning about going to Chinese House, or Joonggukjip (중국집), as the restaurant is more commonly called. The following night, we converged at Joonggukjip ready for a feast. MORE »
