Soft Serve with Frosted Flakes

Happy National Cereal Day everyone!

Instead of eating cereal with milk why don't we eat it with ice cream?

There's a very popular bakery place called Milk Bar (part of the Momofuku restaurants) located in east village that served great cookies, cakes, sweet drinks and other pastries. One of their popular items is the cereal milk soft serve with frosted flakes. It is delicious, creamy and crunchy.

Ice cream sushi

Guess what people.. ice cream sushi do exists! If anyone planning to go to Atlantic City for restaurant week (3/6-3/12) you should definitely check out Izakaya, a nice japanese restaurant located in Borgata. They served great japanese food and of course their popular dessert dish, crispy rice sushi roll aka ice cream sushi.

This dish was made by crispy rice with chocolate chips, peanut butter and vanilla ice cream for filling.

I absolutely love it...crispy and sweet ❤❤

Russian Sushi

We all know sushi is based in Japan so what's the difference between russian sushi and japanese sushi?

About 2 years ago, I visited an authentic restaurant called Rasha Nasha in midtown that served russian sushi as a cold appetizer dish. This type of sushi was wrapped by crepes with the following ingredients: cream cheese, chives, lox, and cucumber then topped with red caviar. Based on the ingredients, it really reminded me of the Philadelphia sushi roll except the caviar and crepe wrap.
The bad news is: Rasha Nasha has permanently closed:(

Skate Wing

For those of you who are seafood lovers, isn't it hard to find restaurants served skate fish nowadays?

I love seafood and skate is one of my favorite fish. I was invited by a friend for dinner at this restaurant called Mermaid Inn in the east village. While looking at the menu, I was so excited that they have the "local skate wing" as an entree dish in their menu. It came with kale and some other light veggies. The skate wing itself tasted really good but the kale was a bit more on the salty side. 

 

 

Sea Bass Tempura

Sick of veggies and shrimp tempura? Check out this yummy chilean sea bass tempura in this romantic restaurant called Koi.
It is located next to the Bryant Park hotel and the setting is very romantic.

We ordered the chilean sea bass tempura for starter and this is absolutely the most filling one out of all the appetizers. The taste was great; crispy and not too spicy.

Coco Ice Cream in a Chocolate Shell!!!

Wow..Too cute to eat( ◞･౪･)
An artistic dessert featuring a nice chocolate shell filled with coconut ice cream, topped with a cute palm tree cookie and surrounded by mixed fruit swirls. I visited this nice Latin American restaurant on the upper west side called #Calle Ocho. They served great cocktails and Latin food. I was very impressed by the dessert they made for me. The #cute design really brightened up my evening.

Sushi Burrito?

Sick of sushi? Guess what's the latest asian fusion food trend now?...
#SUSHI BURRITO!!!

It is basically a seaweed wrap with sushi ingredients filling inside. The first sushi burrito store in NYC is #Uma Temakeria. They have several locations throughout #Manhattan and my closest spot is in #Gotham West Market. Besides burrito, they also served hand rolls and rice bowl with options to design your own meal. If you choose to design your own there are 4 things you need to pick: type of rice, type of protein, type of sauce, and type of veggies.
