I’m throwing out this bold statement: New York had the best pizza in the world. By the time I left New York, all my clothes were feeling much much tighter. Poor Ray and Carmela, they felt the weight gain too, and it’s probably mostly because of me. All I wanted to eat was pizza. Pizza is one of my biggest guilty pleasures. I love a good pie. But I’m super picky about it, so it’s hard for me to find…
Philadelphia cheesesteak wars: 12 hours, 4 cheesesteaks
“You can’t come to Philadelphia and not have a cheesesteak.” Given that the cheesesteak is practically Philly’s symbol, that statement is so true. But we’ll do one better. In fact… we’ll do three better. The best thing about hanging out with foodies is that everyone is enthusiastic about eating and hunting for good food. The best thing about visiting locals is that they know where all the best spots are. The perfect combination. And because everyone has a different opinion…
Top 5 Foods I Ate in NYC
I’ve thought long and hard about how I was going to write about all the food I ate in New York. Should I organize it by categories? By days? For now, before I overwhelm you with all the food talk, I’m going to start on a high note with my top 5 favorite things I ate in New York City. Oh New York – why is the food so good there?! Seriously, I ate some of the best food OF…
Breakfast around the world, Vol. 2
Over 2 years since publishing Vol. 1, finally here comes the much highly anticipated (ha!) sequel. I’ve finally gathered up enough other places to make another post. So let’s take a look at how I’ve started my day in different places! Taipei, Taiwan Lu rou fan is my favorite, favorite, favorite Taiwanese breakfast! I look forward to a bowl every morning whenever I’m in Taipei (ha, I say it like it’s a common occurence, but I actually haven’t been there in…
Malaysian eats: everything I ate in Penang
I’m seriously looking my cred as a foodie. I barely ever blog about food anymore. I miss it. And believe me, I’m still eating TONS and trying new things all the time (my thighs can attest to that). So anyway, all that to say… Yay! New foodie post! Penang is known as the foodie capital of Malaysia. Before going, I wasn’t sure how I’d like the food because I heard it’s more Cantonese style, which I’m usually not a fan of….
[Kuala Lumpur] I finally eat durian for the first time
I’m not in too much of a blogging mood lately because I’ve been obsessed with working on some DIY clothing projects in my spare time. But I thought I’d quickly share this all-you-can-eat durian thing in case there are any readers in KL who really love durian. I’m leaving Malaysia in less than a week. After over a year of being here, I’m happy to say that I’ve done mostly everything I wanted to. I’ve checked off most of my Malaysian…
[Penang] Battle of the char kuey teow: which is best?
There is no dish that symbolizes Penang more than char kuey teow. Char kuey teow (ckt), or essentially fried rice noodles, was invented in Penang and is the city’s most beloved dish. I swear they revoke your Penangite card if ckt isn’t one of your top 2 favorites. This noodle dish has just a few ingredients: pork lard, prawns, cockles, egg, Chinese sausage (optional, but always better with it!), bean sprouts, fresh spring onions, soy sauce, and a spicy paste. And the key? A delicious…
[Dubai] An extravagant Friday brunch at Mövenpick
Let’s start the week right with some food talk! Warning: mainly photos of really delicious and beautiful food! Dubai is home to crazy fancy restaurants and dining experiences. You know I’m more of a cheap local food kind of girl, so I was really looking forward to the Indian food in my neighborhood. But I knew that I wanted to experience one thing: one of Dubai’s fabulous brunches. I’ve heard from Andrea about fancy brunches in Dubai and how they’d…
Chinese New Year: 15 days of food traditions
This Chinese New Year has been pretty tame, compared to the constant festivities, outings, and reunions we had last year. This year, we remained in at home, barely even venturing outdoors. Instead, we stayed warm and cozy, spending a lot of quality time with our little diminishing family. This year’s celebrations could be summarized as a lot of good home cooked food, a lot of relaxation, and a lot of mahjong. One thing we did do though. We celebrated all…
Malaysian eats: 15 dishes to try in Kuala Lumpur
I cannot believe it has taken me THIS LONG to write this post! After an entire YEAR from when I came to Kuala Lumpur for the first time. I guess I just wanted to do as good of a job as possible and to be as thorough as possible. But I realized that there is no way I can possibly eat every single dish offered in Malaysia. And plus, once I found my favorites, I just keep on eating them over and…
