Tornado Chips?

Happy National Potato Chip Day:)

Ever seen potato chips in a skewer? If you ever swing by Chinatown in Manhattan you should definitely check out this little bubble tea place, Bubbly Tea on 55B Bayard Street. They have great bubble tea with a variety of flavors and great prices as well. I got their watermelon slush with boboa and tornado chips. The chips was crispy and spicy. Not sure if they can do mild spicy for the chips but I will definitely stop by there again and ask for it.

Juicy Octopus

Tender and chewy grilled octopus served in II Palazzo, a fine dining Italian restaurant located in Little Italy. The portion was a great size and it came with argula,tomatoes, potatoes and onions. I'm glad that it wasn't dry at all because of the sauce so it's easy for me to chew it. For those of you who are octopus lover, this is definitely one of the best restaurants to try it.

Seared Scallops

Scallops are one of my favorite seafood. Most of my friends asked me do I like it seared or baked? You know what...I like the seared scallops better because it is more crispy on the outside and a bit rare in the center. Baked scallops can be dry sometimes but most importantly depends on how it's made. One of the best scallop dishes I tried was in Navy Beach, a seafood restaurant with a beautiful beach view located in Montauk, NY. The whole entree came with yellow rice, peas, shrimps and three big pieces of scallops...Nom..nom:-p

DUCK BURRITO?

It is very common to find places that served chicken burrito, steak burrito, and shrimp burrito but duck burrito is the rarest one. This is one of the popular dishes to try in this Mexican restaurant called Canyon Road located in the upper east side.The restaurant served this dish in a great size portion with tender duck breast meat inside the burrito and topped with a delicious mole sauce. It also served with rice, guacamole, diced tomatoes and onions. With this entree, you will definitely get filled up.

Cute Crab Salad

Happy National Crabmeat day everyone:)

Omg..this is one of the cutest salad presentation I've ever seen in an appetizer dish. About 4 years ago, my friend hosted her birthday dinner party in Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and I just randomly ordered a starter. It turned out great and I got a lot of compliments too. I don't really recalled the name of this dish but i hope Ruth's Chris steakhouse still served them. All I remembered is the delicious minced crab meat mixed with some veggies and dressing.

Fried Alligator?

A lot of people asked what does alligator meat taste like?...
Nowadays alligator is considered a new exotic but rare meat to try on the east coast. One of the popular spots to try fried alligator in NYC is Bo's kitchen and bar room, a New Orleans inspired restaurant located in midtown.

I have visited the restaurant once and their crispy fried alligator dish tasted like half chicken and half calamari.

It was pretty crispy and delicious.
