from them, got it delivered from nagoya

its basically 9 mochis filled with cream and chopped up japanaese chestnut pieces

my mom felt this was the best thing she ate on the trip lol

the real struggle

whats the cross section

wow thought it was just soba noodles lol

taian men

mmm idk the name of this spot but theyre known for their fresh ingredients and their whole soy suace duck noodles
its in suzhou
i can get the name if n e 1 wants it




one of the two fava bean varietals in china was in season but theirs werent that good.... my grandmas house had good favas tho

forgot the name of this spot but i can also dig it up
its in shanghai
open p late
the chef is an official state banquet chef so its a p big deal
for instance

this character is meant to be a grand hotel banquet chef
u have 2 have crazy technique
got cured goose, shark fin soup, xun yu (shanghai 'smoked' fish), pork belly w abalone, shellfish broth, yang cao fried rice

then nyc

chef katsu -- roll cake is so good
i liked the salmon bowl but not as much as their katsu curry. i also think their radishes are weird in that theyre not pickled or fermented just salty as f***. their miso isnt worth the $ i thought it wld b sim to tonjiru but it was just plain miso w emaciated bits of button mushrooms.... nty. roll cake and strawb matcha yummy. matcha is rllly light its more like matcha strawb milk.

leftover homemade filipino food from someones function

kisa
new spot that got opened by the c as in charlie ppl. never been to c, always heard mixed reviews.
kisa is ok, its 36 for the platter and u get 3 banchan refills total.
i dont like the banchan limit bc their gim counts towards a refill and apparently they fly it in from korea but still... its 3 sheets of gim, relax.
overall was tasty but i significantly prefer cho dang gol in ktown
no annoying white ppl who only go to restaurants based on influencer reviews
no banchan limit
1 hr wait instead of 3 hour wait
homemade tofu
but kisas worth checking out if ur really craving korean food while in lower manhattan

went to jersey
harolds new york diner
gimmick is that everything is huge



p good i liked it

i dont thnink id go back tho LOL its p pricy since everything is huge

we went to this bed n brekky in oceanview
brekky was so good
pork roll w homemade sweet spicy sauce cheese n egg

el artesano


empenadas on left, ropa vieja next to ketchup, vaca frita on right

caravan uyghur cuisine



also got saffron tea, was rly good
got lamb kebabs (fire), stir fry noodles (beef), kordak (braised lamb w naan)
really yummy
tastes really homemade and nice
defs recommend

oh s*** i just seen that kisa place on youtube. some dude from korea tried and said it’s authentic but also kinda overpriced for what it is

my friends went like a week ago as well and pretty much said the same thing. they said it was like paying 40$ for a meal you would get for free at a korean church lunch.

limited banchan at a korean spot that isn’t fine dining or fine dining adjacent is pretty wack tho and not very korean like tbh

Ya agree

The ppl who are hella excited about how cheap it is dont go to mom and pop korean spots 💀

Like its not bad
But better restaurants w better price points are a plenty

Tho their location im sure is costing them a pretty penny

It’s hollow inside

Yeah this page is real nice

It was my birthday yesterday but I was to tired after going out, instead of cooking everything up and I had a leftover sushi platter from lunch. Tonight im having the supper i bought which was 30 something oysters, steak, lobster and a cigar after! Boiling the lobster now and cant wait! I saved so much money from quitting smoking weed, this meal cost the amount of weed I would smoke in a few days. I also still drank alcohol and vaped/smoked cigarettes, a couple days or maybe a single night. Pretty crazy.
