I was in Oakland, California for a day and a bit a few weeks ago, and I knew that I would be grabbing lunch in the area. I had a Mexican dinner planned and also another meal to discover for myself, so I went on Yelp to find the good eats and found this savory…

Humongous Sandwich from King George
Ever encounter lunches when you aren’t satisfied with your sandwich? That will never happen to you at King George, which I visited with my sister the other day. You will undoubtedly get a more than satisfying big bite sandwich here. I love all the color there is on the vegetarian sandwich with pastrami. Yes… sorry,…
Pomegranate Tomato Curry from Keats Cafe, Tokyo
So in the neighborhood my neighbor named GGD (Gakugeidaigaku) is Keats Cafe, where the restaurant’s concept is to provide those living in this crazy Tokyo metropolis with ethical, beautiful, and joyful food, ideas, and items. The restaurant makes everything from scratch obviously but their dishes are -I can tell- so good and nourishing for your…
Milk Mura, Sapporo
Welcome to this special world in Milk Mura. The word “interesting” should directly associate with this restaurant that serves ice cream with various types of liquor. Firstly, this space of Milk Mura is dark with colored lamps here and there in the restaurant space. There is a bar counter space and also booth seats, so…
En boca, Tokyo
This was a good find. My sister first took me here for my birthday this year, and my mom also had always wanted to go, so we took ourselves to En boca again for a casual family dinner. My original request/theme for my birthday dinner with my sister was vegetables, and she found this place…
Rose Bakery, Tokyo
I found Rose Bakery and went to this place again the next weekend at a different location to devour their quiche. The atmosphere of this bakery with baked goods that looked like they were from the States lined up in their window made me oh so happy that I wanted to introduce this place to…
Keema curry at Soup Curry Cocoro, Tokyo
This is a blurry photo of this keema curry I had at Cocoro, but I wanted to share this with you because this week turned out to be a curry week for me (out of 7 nights, I had curry 4 times). No, I am not the biggest fan of curry (though Japanese curry was…
Vietnamese Tomato and Crab Soup at Vietnam Alice, Tokyo
Tomoko and I enjoy Asian food… a lot. Firstly we volunteered as teachers together in Thailand after our first year in high school. That, or maybe something before that, had triggered our interest in south east Asia. We now live in different cities but often come together at either of our cities (mostly Tokyo), and…
Salade de Galette at Mothers Cafe de Galette
Wheat free diet for me works and does not work in the way of avoiding wheat products. It is difficult at times to avoid wheat just because so many food items have wheat in it. But occasionally comes a checkpoint in which I know I want to continue what I started. The other day, I…
French x slow food x fast food at Table Ogino, Tokyo
Local, organic with no additive, carefully selected ingredients are used at Table Ogino in Daikanyama neighborhood of Tokyo. This place is a cafe where you can find tables and big tables to share as well. I saw several guests that came in solo, and it is a very comfortable place to do so. I first…
Okinawan hotpot at Taachi, Tokyo
Okinawa, which is one of Japan’s islands that is apart from the rest of the archipelago, has many indigenous foods. Many vegetables, pork, ingredients, and meals are grown there that I cannot identify are often labeled as Okinawan food. In a wintry night, my friend and I went to eat at Taachi, located in Azabu…
Southern in Seattle – Pan Fried Rockfish Fillet at Skillet, Seattle
Is Southern food the trend these days? I have been away from the U.S. for a bit too long to notice these trends but I feel that I have come across several southern cuisine related articles, tv shows, restaurants. Honestly, I was not exposed to southern cuisine until college years, which started in 2008. Anyway,…
