dinner with my newly engaged friends on a super hot day.
pork kimchi stirfry over cold tofu, kim-mari (batter-fried noodles wrapped in seaweed)
which was dipped in/alongside dukboki,
then an epic portion of seafood cheese ramen dukboki!

a hot hot day in nyc - garden dining was a must!

beef pho & grilled pork bún at pho bang.
what a great weather for bike riding.

kimchi & mushroom pasta, homemade. :)

yummy brunch (eggs avocado) at the coffee house.
and the view from our kitchen window overlooks spring.

eating in at home - noodle soup with mushrooms & kale, and fresh radish.
i've been on a radish kick lately.

radish & cucumber with cream cheese on toast.

beautiful spring weather the past couple days...
rode bikes for dinner to fix my pai-ku-fan (taiwanese porkchop) cravings.
it's been so long that i don't even remember what it really tasted like
on the streets of taipei, but this was exactly what i wanted today. <3

rainy lunch at cafecita bogota.
chicken foccacia and ham & cheese croissant.
i've had better food in the past few days but forgot my camera. :(

cooked at home : kimchi & mentaiko pasta with mushrooms and sprouts.
we have a smaller counter/cabinet space since we moved,
and are surrounded by more food options, but also makes me
want to cook in more, too...
i can't wait for the csa shares this summer!

amazing pickled veggies spring roll at nha toi.
i love that place. <3

went back to saint's alp for lunch, as i've never eaten food there,
and sometimes i need to have some good ol' taiwanese/hongkongese cafe food.

delicious noodles with dumplings, and marinated minced pork over rice.
of course, with boba (bubble) tea.


and i made this humble bibimbap for dinner.
first cooked meal at our new flat!

a beautiful day that ended with delicious snacks at saint's alp.
regular boba milk tea, black sesame boba milk tea, dumpling sampler,
and my favorite taiwanese snack - toast with condensed milk. <3<3

pork sandwich & veal meatballs sandwich at num pang,
the new cambodia sandwich shop.
not bad, but very small portions.
it was still nice after a long day of hardware-searching for the new apartment.

great korean street/pub style food at song 72.
dukboki (street style!), dak dong jip (chicken butt - really),
and sea food soup with some kind of fish intestine (so good).

classic & lemongrass pork bahn mi at nha toi.

these are easily the best bahn mi's i've had in nyc so far,
but unfortunately the pictures don't do them any justice.

yummy chorizo omelet & amazing beef tacos at papacito's.

dine in brooklyn dinner at olea for last meal of celebration before the move.

lamb meatballs & cod croquettes, pasta & mackerel,
and almond tart & chocolate cake.
