M here. Seriously, after a 7 month hiatus, I am really here. My deepest apologies for letting this blog fall by the wayside. Typical excuses – work just got too overwhelming, the restaurant queue just got longer and longer to a point where it was just too intimidating. And nothing came by that was inspiring [...]

Y here. Like everyone else, I don’t mind indulging once in a while in an unhealthy, potentially heart attack inducing meal. And like everyone else, I’m not recession proof. That’s why this article from Serious Eats caught my attention. Vegetarians, please avert your eyes. Fried chicken wings? Fried chicken wings stuffed with sticky rice? Initially, [...]

Y here. I believe that this restaurant will be the last of our Hawaii reviews. Let’s all have a moment of silence (pause sadly). The good news is that New York spring is just around the corner (last weekend was phenomenally warm), so I look forward to getting out of my hibernation and trying out [...]

M here. Happy Mardi Gras! As I picked at the stale roll that was delivered with the risotto I ordered for dinner, I could not help but reminisce of better times in Hawaii and at Bravo. Y and I stopped at Bravo for lunch as a perfect segway between hiking Manoa Falls trail and Pearl Harbor. We did not [...]

Y here. Thank God for privacy filters during work. Unfortunately, there’s not that many good food places in Midtown in New York. Fortunately, I still have several more places to blog, so I can think back to the delicious days of coconut shrimp and mai tai’s. We were lucky that Tiki’s Grill and Bar was [...]

Y here. Yup…she’s actually here. Like M, she got sucked into the whole Hawaii trip, and afterwards had to go back to work…which explains her month long absence from this blog. But tonight…she started taking a nap, and dreamed of images of …a shrimp truck. So she decided that the great shrimp gods from above [...]

M here. Generally when I leave my beloved city, I like to eat where the locals eat. When in New Jersey, I like to dig into an enormous omelette at infamous Jersey diners. When in Milan, I like to snag a cocktail and munch on the wide assortment of finger foods during Apertivo. That’s why [...]

M here. After a morning of sunbathing in Waikiki, Y and I decided to grab a bite to eat at Teddy’s Bigger Burgers, a Hawaiian burger joint. As its name suggests, the local favorite offers a variety of large flame-broiled burgers including the Monster Double, weighing at over 1 lb! In addition to its enormous [...]

M here. Y has written a bunch about her seemingly endless list of New Year’s resolutions. I only have two: 1) spend less money and 2) lose more weight. Unfortunately, neither of my resolutions meshes too well with my love of food. But alas, life is full of tough choices and at times, concessions must [...]

M here. When I first moved into the City, I was pleasantly surprised and a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of delivery options. With new menus being slipped under my door and into my mailbox almost every day, how was girl to choose? Luckily when I had a Thai craving early one Sunday afternoon, [...]
