NYC foodie Adventures Part II

Le petite abeille (The little bee)

6th and 17th NYC

I am a sucker for Liege waffles. I just love how dense, thick and rich they are. it is so hard to find a true belgian waffle. This waffle needs no toppings or anything. Just great by itself. I yelped for belgian waffles and this and another food truck came up, but I just love the name so I decided to give it a try.

The decor was tres chic and it was covered with TinTin comics all over the walls!!

AH-MAZING waffles. You can see the pearl sugar as soon as you break the waffles. That's when you know it's good.

Kati Roll

6th and 39th, NYC

Rating 3.5/5

We wanted a mid morning snack (like we need any more food right??) Well for the Indian part in me and my bff, we found this place called The Kati Roll. What it is, is that they roll wither parathas or roti's with potato curry filling. Kinda like an Indian taquito. It was DELISH. I couldn't even take pics because I totally devoured it before I could even.

This was again Pink's recommendation. This is Mario Batali's creations. It is basically a JUMBO gourmet italian food store with a bunch of kiosks on the inside to try desserts, cheese, meats etc.

This would be their bread section. I was in HEAVEN.

We tried the onion foccacia. I am not a huge fan of onions, but damn this was worth it :) There were other kiosks and I wanted to try them all but the crowd was just too full and we just wanted to get out of there without dying

The City Bakery

6th and 18th NYC

Now let me tell you. The Hot and cold chocolate is something UNBELIEVABLE. It was as if someone melted a chocolate bar and placed a straw in it. Perfect for us females during that time of the month ya know? Also the taste of the chocolate even lingered in the back of my throat for about an hour later. That was how rich it was

They also had a GREAT selection of baked goods. The chocolates drinks were already rich enough so we only decided to try the vegan choc chip cookie without it being too much of an overkill. That was delicious too

Did I make you hungry?

NYC foodie Adventures Part I

One of my sole purposed to go NYC was for the food. I mean come on, how can you not? With the help of Pink from www.xppinkxx.com, she gave me some guidance on the joints and places to visit. Since she is the ultimate foodie I know, that girl can EAT! So I made my way through the list.

First stop,

Totto Ramen

366 West 52nd StreeT

A literal Hole in the Wall.

Our waiter even wrote our order in Japanese... it was hard to tell if he wrote the right stuff down or not.

Spicy Vegetable ramen

Chicken Ramen. This broth was just so CREAMY and delicious!!

Laut

15 E 17th Street

Comparable to my other post HERE. CLICK ME

This place was good, just unbelievably expensive for what it offers. Being a Malaysian, I love me my share of Malay/Singaporean/thai food. I was ecstatic to find this. I've tried Penang in Vegas before and that was just unbelievable.

Storefront

The roti canai was SHAMEFUL. No roti canai's are ever think and crispy. Unless we're talking about tosai or paratha. This was just AWFUL. However, I do give kudos to the curry. If the they used the same roti from Hawkers (link at the top ^) this would blow my mind

The curry puff was also sub-par. but good enough to curb a craving

The coconut rice was just to DIE FOR

The Chicken Rendang was very Nyona like, delicious, but HELLA EXPENSIVE for what it is.

East Japanese

We had met up with a friend from NYC here. The wait was long, but it was worth it. We had went on a tuesday which happens to be salmon tuesday = my fav.

The conveyor belt sushi concept is my fave. I've already been to a couple in South East Asia, but none yet in the US. So this was exciting. Even more exciting to share it with friends who've never even heard of this concept ever before.

I always start with a wakame salad

Food is priced by the color of the plate. For example, white: $1.50, pink: $2.00 and so on. For example, a white plate u can usually find california roll, tuna rolls. And on the pink ones some Nigiri... and quality also goes up as u go up in price

A great ending with some red bean mochi ice cream =D

Will post part 2 soon.

Inglot

I was in Vegas this past Feb and my silly self never thought anything when I walked past Inglot until the "rave" started going on around youtube. The color names and numbers were harder to remember and memorize from MAC but the quality is definitely comparable. I wasn't in the mood for experimenting so I stuck to something I knew best, foundations. I snagged a powder foundation and will do a review on it. However, so far, the signs are pointing upwards :)

Inglot AMC Pressed Powder - $16

NYC

Be prepared for some future posts that are picture heavy. I just got back from a fun mini vacation and explored almost every bit of the city that I could. I ate about 5 meals a day and walked about >45 blocks/day. So it was more than justified

Girl Talk

Herro.

So today I was just thinking (ruh roh...), I know have never been the girly girl. I am thankful to my mother who has taught me to be an independent person. To never rely on anyone for anything and to be able to always stand on my own. An example is that whenever I used to go on dates, I would always offer to pay, if not, to split the check. I never expect gifts or to be bought anything, and if I ever wanted something, I would get it.

However, from time to time I would enjoy being spoiled. I guess I have never had that luxury of being showered with pampering luxuries. It would be nice to have a surprise trip to somewhere, a little hideaway to a hotel and fun away from it all. Mainly because I'm always the one planning everything and the one who is making sure everyones desires are met. I would love to be the person on the other end one day. Just to hear the words "pack your bags, we're going on a surprise trip" Like if I ever wanted a nice massage/mani-pedi, I would go get it. A nice dinner date at a nice restaurant? I would plan it. I just don't want to think or make decisions for once. Just to sit back and enjoy the ride.

But one can only dream.

A little mini-cation

I thought I'd give a little update since I've been so MIA recently. I've been swamped at work and with my whole moving thing I haven't even had time for my blog. You see, I work about 45 minutes away and with the driving and work, it takes a lot of energy out of me. Enough with the excuses already... what's going on????

Well, I'm excited to say that I am making a trip to NYC with one of my BFF's. We're taking a mini-vacation to try out all of the food, shopping and god knows what else! I am CRAZY excited! I have even made a pact with my bff that we wouldn't even shop for ourselves or anything until NY which is 25 days away! I will be taking lots of pics, videos and much more! So definitely expect a blog post about it!!
