AMIS. Because it's one of the best places for...
If you’ve finally come to the realization that it’s finally time to move on from Spaghetti-Os, then you should read this. Let me introduce you and yourself to the great spot that is known as Amis. It’s one of the best places for pasta in the nation, according to a writer from Bon Appetit - so I trust it. Not only that, but it’s from local Philly big name chef Marc Vetri.

Excuse me. I'm eating a cheese steak outside of...
My work has been relocated to a new office building. And thus, it’s like a challenge to find good spots to get our grub on since not many of us know the area that well. We’ve only been in this new office for a few days.
I googled “food” around the area and found a nice area where there was some nice possible candidates to win my hard-earned lunch money. Not by popular...

TRIA. Only if you're into wine, cheese, or beer -...
Tell me.
Are you someone who likes wine? Yes you are. Do you like cheese? Of course you do. And I’m positive you love beer so I ain’t even gotta ask. Well guess what. If you’re into all 3 of the mentioned, or even just one, then you need to get your ass over to Tria with the quickness.
This is one of them places you wanna go and just relax and not have to worry about all the...

A midsummer afternoon at the diner with my darling
So Swift Half Pub was packed thanks to Fifa world cup. PYT was better but still no seating immediately available. But that’s ok, perfect chance to try something new. So where to go? Darling’s Diner what else. I never been here before but always pass by it on the way to PYT or somewhere else in the Piazza. As a matter fact, I’ve read some good things about Darling’s but...

If buying LL Cool J's book can do this, I'm sold
So LL Cool J was on “The View” promoting his book. That’s nice. But what I didn’t know was that he can curl human beings, one of them being the BBW in the red dress, Sherri Sheperd.
If I can do that by reading his book, I’m gonna go buy the biggest bookshelf out there. Maybe I can curl a bulldozer or something.

PYT's Buffalo Burger, looks like the bison I...
I been to PYT more times than I can count on my hands and feets. But it’s been a while since I last wrote about it. We went on Saturday for lunch because it was such a nice day. Unfortunately, the clouds were moving in and it turned overcast quicker than you can say springfield buffalo burger. Doesn’t kill my excitement though. Especially eating an animal as big as a Escalade and...

New $100 bill, more technology on a piece of paper...
The new $100 was just unveiled. It was made to prevent counterfeiting of course. This means that new “printer” that costed you your newborn is now obsolete.
Not only does it contain the older technology of the vertical print band and the creepy watermark face, but now the “100” text also shifts color, and there’s an animated ribbon in the middle of the bill that...

Summer is coming, so is my appetite for tons of...
This is the triple cheeseburger I had over the weekend. It was my 4th burger. My first one was a double, then I had 2 single patty burgers, then ended it with a triple. I have a hard time controlling myself around a grill. I need to go to barbeques anonymous or something.
Well, I will easily tell you the summer is my favorite season. When I think of summer, I think of barbeques, beaches, long...

Bobby Flay's Burger Palace, Philly's new burger...
What do we have here? It’s a Bobby Flay restaurant.
It’s been almost a week since Bobby Flay opened his 5th “fast casual burger concept.” I have no idea what that means but Bobby’s Burger Palace just opened this past Tuesday. Ever since I started reading Philly food blogs over a year ago, burger joints seem to have become a dime a dozen.
BUT. Regardless of how...

Robot servers makes human waiters irrelevant but...
Remember that childhood dream of yours of being a waiter? I hate to tell you this but it might not come true.
Check out this video of a restaurant in Thailand that has robots bringing you your food. This is cool. Plus, you can save yourself the tip.
A monster for these cookies and a beast for them...
I came home today and checked my mailbox. There was no mail pieces but there was this box that she dropped off for me. What could it be? Well, they’re cookies. Cookies!? Yeah but hold on, they’re not just any cookies though. Believe me when I say this but…these cookies are the best I ever had.
Well, I got some good news and some bad horrible news. Good news is I’m gonna...

Adobe CS5 arrives in about 2 weeks, prepare to...
I remember when I bought CS3 back in college. I felt like I just bought it recently although it’s actually been years ago. Either I’ve been living under a rock or time is just passing by quicker than I can keep up with because I’m old as hieroglyphics.
Adobe CS5 is coming in less than 2 weeks, which means you need to save your next few paychecks to buy it. You’ll...

A plate by any other name would taste just as good
So Sunday rolls around and where would you go if you were hungry? Did you just say brunch? I thought so. Dim sum? I had that like a week ago so let’s not overdo it now.
On this gorgeous Sunday, we went to Plate in surburban square. Don’t know where Suburban Square is? Neither do I because it was my first time there. It’s a nice area with some shops that’s basically...

Dim sum, you know you want some
Let’s be real - you can never really go wrong with dim sum. Dim sum is chinese lunch that is served to you like a bunch of side dishes. However you want to describe it, there’s one thing we can all agree on - it’s pretty damn good. If you never had dim sum, you are basically torturing yourself. Who does that?
So I finally had the urge to get my dim sum fix on. So where to go to...

Bonjour! Today is your lucky day - I am introducing to you one of the finest restaurants in Philly. Sure, it isn’t as spacious as say Buddakan, or make you feel like you’re living the ‘high’ life like R2L. But remember, there’s more to fine dining than just fancy decor. Ok I beg to differ, but anyway.
I introduce to you BIBOU. If you can’t afford Le Bec Fin...

March 6th Saturday Brunch @ Fork Etc
After 3 months of hibernation, the sun decided to show up again. And what a better day to show up than on a Saturday, bringing out its bff the clear blue sky. Let me tell you, I can’t even describe how happy thrilled we were for this day. Not only was it a nice day, but it also mean that the warm weather is finally arriving - slowly but surely. I’ll be the first person to tell you how...
Ruby Tuesday on a crystal clear Sunday
First, I gotta confess - this is my first time eating at Ruby Tuesday. I think TGIFriday is one of my favorite chain restaurants and I was thinking Ruby Tuesday was up there with it. It always looks a lot better than other chains like Chili’s or Red Lobster. Outback is also one of my faves, they have really good wings, which are called kookiboro wings. I ain’t sure what the hell...

Chicken and Rice: Satisfying the hunger of drunks...
I been told about the legendary Chicken and Rice but I have never known what it looks like or what exactly it is, other than knowing that it contains chicken…and rice. Is it chinese food? Is it just chicken meat and rice? Whatever the hell it was, it didn’t match what I pictured it to be.
Apparently, this chicken and rice is the go-to meal for anyone that needs their stomach to stop...

How to fix major hangover: Kunjip
I ain’t been to a korean restaurant in a while. I don’t even remember the last time I ate at one. I have been kraving it recently so it’s been on my mind. I finally got the chance to satisfy my wet dream after waking up with major hangover syndrome. We almost couldn’t make it out in public to even go anywhere.
We went to Kunjip restaurant and this place was bustlin...
R2L: My new fave 4 real
If you live in Philly, you need to eat at R2L at least once. It will probably make it on to your list of top 5 restaurants quicker than a finger snap from your sassy little sister.
The first reason is probably good enough to Rsvp asap. This beast restaurant is in the sky man! It’s on the 37th floor of Two Liberty Place so this is basically cloud 9 - you know, the magic place you knew was...
Shake and Bake
So we (Philly in the house!) were extremely lucky enough to get over 2 feet of snow from the snowstorm which basically snowed almost everyone in.
Unfortunately, there isn’t really a lot of food in the crib. And I ain’t one who go grocery shopping before a big storm. That’s what delivery is for.
Fortunately, I have eggs, flour, milk, and sugar. So what did I conjure up with...
Salmon BLT on a bagel. Excuse me?
BLT? WTF? It stands for bacon, lettuce, tomato. And that’s usually what is included in it for the most part.
Sometimes I am really hungry at lunch and I will eat anything and everything. That’s not something I can control. My new year’s resolution was to control my over eating. It has been a complete failure so far.
So for lunch, I had BLT with raw smoked salmon filet and...
Cucoo for Koko's Stuff?
Doesn’t this picture make you hungry? This was at a place called Koko I think. We went here because it had the soy sauce chicken wings that I recently fell in love with. It was love at first sight taste. Am I cucoo for Koko’s soy sauce chicken wings?
This is the fish cake in broth. No, fish cakes are not pastry cakes. They are sorta like a mix mash of different stuff. I want to...

Penang with the work gang
Penang makes some pretty good spicy dishes. I like spicy food so that means I like Penang.
I think almost anyone who goes here will get the roti canai which is the malaysian flatbread. Some will refer to this as “indian pancake”, or something like that but it’s the first food pic in this blog. It looks like a rock next to a bowl of orange stuff, which is some curry chicken...
If Buddakan, then Harrykan too
This is the 2nd time I went to Buddakan, which is probably one of the best big name restaurants in Philly. I think this is one of those restaurants that you gotta go at least once. They have good selections on food and drinks, and it has good romantic ambience (because I’m into that kinda stuff). I had to put the candle next to the food to take pics because it was dark.
The last time I...
Chima, a carnivore's wet dream
Chima is a Brazilian steakhouse. That’s 2 very good things combined into one. It’s Brazilian (exotic stuff). And steakhouse (I love).
But is everything that much better when you combine more than one great thing together?
This isn’t like Outback steakhouse or like Ruth’s Chris though, where you just order a steak and inhale it. No way homie. This is...
It’s been a while since I went to Chickie’s and Pete’s. They are famous for their crab fries which are really tasty. You can dip them in the cheese, which makes it more scrumptious while adding five hundred calories.
We ordered 2 orders of crab fries, 2 orders of mussels (one in white sauce, one in red sauce), and a order of wings. I forgot to take a picture of the wings...
Stella is Stellar
I do not know what I can say about this place. Pizzeria Stella has probably the best pizza I ate. They are kinda like a little bigger than a personal pizza. If you are in the mood for fine pizza dining, well look no further my friend, Stephen Starr has answered your prayers.
Wait a minute, another restaurant from the Starrship Enterprise Stephen Starr? And a pizza place at that?

Oyster House, one of many pearls
Bestest Brunch Ever
Blueberry wheat pancakes. Granola and berries with soy milk. Home fries (forgot a picture, stupid me smh). Raw mahi-mahi burger with fries.

In the middle of no where in a place called Plainsboro, there’s this joint called sugar + sunshine. I ain’t gonna lie, this place makes the bestest cupcakes ever. Even if you ain’t really like...
