I don’t remember when this obsession with korean food began. I certainly never had it until I came to NYU, and even then I lived off my meal plan freshman year and ramen/spaghetti my sophomore year.  Somehow kimchi and bulgogi and I just clicked instantly though when we met, and the rest is history…

I lay on my bed staring at my computer at 1:30AM, not tired enough to fall asleep but already anticipating my regret when I wake up at 7AM for work. Memories flood my mind of some of the best meals eaten during Restaurant Week Summer 2009. There are many catch up entries to write, so [...]

Words of Wisdom: Backup!

March 1, 2010

Something valuable learned in the past few days, a lesson I have repeated to myself time and again but never seem to heed until it’s too late – BACK UP YOUR FILES (or be better at self trouble shooting one’s blogging code). Wordpress’s infamously short upgrade step did not work, and working backwards didn’t help [...]

Hello world! While real life took a huge toll on me the past three months and led to my brief disappearance, I have never forgotten to continue to eat well and take pictures as I do. While there are many restaurants to discuss with yummy photos to accompany the reviews, I just had to share [...]

The anal, perfectionist side of me finally caught up. With the (little?) spare time I’ve acquired recently after the end of school, I decided to embark on a project – a quest to manually readjust the levels of all the food photographs currently in the gallery. (Eh heh..) While time consuming, I find it so [...]

Ramen here, ramen there, ramen shops everywhere. I’ll truly miss all the amazing ethnic cuisines available within walking distance when I move out of the East Village come July 31. Ramen Setagaya was actually my first experience in a ramen shop, introducing me to the world of non-fried, non-instant ramen I had known my entire life. I [...]

College graduation. One of the pinnacle moments of one’s life that calls for celebration. I consider my dinner at Le Cirque last week to be one of the last hurrahs I could push off financially onto my parents. Proof?

Hello world! I returned from spring break in Dominican Republic about two weeks ago, and I finally found time to start writing again. While it was nice to be back in the city, I would be lying if I said that I enjoyed the cold weather and homework assignments waiting for me upon my return. [...]

I love going through the weekly circulars at Associated Supermarket and seeing what fresh produce is on sale every Friday. I found asparagus for $1.99/lb last week, and I decided to experiment! All I knew about the vegetable was that it made your pee smell (random fact) and my parents occasionally stir-fried it at home. This [...]
