been sick lately, so hardly eating anything too fun...
but the ashbox tofu salad (with sunflower seeds & sea kelp!)
and salmon onigiri brightened up my day.
their onigiri, i suspect is, made with sprouted rice, making it all the more tasty.

comfort food + bike ride break.
green tea noodles with spicy chicken,
and egg noodle soup with ground pork & pork dumplings.
of course, with bubble tea!

uncharacteristically fancy (and pricey) meal at hangawi with m & j.
tofu bibimbap with shiso leaves, kimchi stew, & maitake mushrooms w/asparagus.
they were all so good & was an experience to be there,
but will i go there again and pay an arm & a leg,
or should i try really hard to be a good korean cook?

progress shot of 7-grain rice bibimbap dinner.

potluck indoor "garden" party (due to cold weather) with yummy food!
i actually liked star fruit now that i'm grown up - i didn't like them as a kid...

double scoop from brooklyn ice cream factory! <3

dinner at supercore - japanese cafe food without having to cross the bridge.
meatballs in sauce up top, and beni-tori with rice in the middle.
then amazing uncooked yogurt cheese cake for dessert at the bottom.

breakfast after friends' early city hall wedding at cafe gitane.
they raised the prices since i used to frequent this place,
so it's now a little harder to justify the delicious-but-so-easy-to-make-at-home avocado toast here...

not satisfied with the onigiri from lunch (i didn't get to photograph)
i made some with ingredients i had at hand - kimchi, anchovies, cheese, sesame seed and some shiso flakes.
sorry about the half eaten shot - i only realized halfway through.

and a random late night bike ride to the river side.

great, satisfying dinner at yeah shang hai on saturday night.
the soup dumplings are the best!

bagel & lox and egg salad sandwich at ash box.

late lunch at dokebi - denjang jigae (soy bean paste soup) & kimchi fried rice.

always amazing tacos at papacitos with friends.
<3

bibimbap, yet again - with kimchi, kale, mushrooms, & sprouts.
we share out of a huge salad bowl.
damn messy looking, but damn good as well, if i must say so myself!

sunday late breakfast :
a whole avocado (with olive oil, s&p, pepper flakes, radish)
and radish toast!
can't get enough of them.

beautiful view, beautiful company, amazing food.
happy birthday julia!
