  • When you’re eating a meal that turns out to be bad, you’re constantly re-evaluating how you perceived earlier dishes based on how disappointing the latter ones are. In this particular case at Park Slope’s @haenyeobk, I re-evaluated the blah grilled mackerel dish as the star of the show (save for the gyoza) based on the horror that followed. The perilla scallion pancake didn’t look burned, but apparently was so that all you could taste was burn. The fried chicken was some of the worst korean fried chicken in memory - perhaps it had been frozen at some point. There was no crunchy goodness, just a blah ball of mushy exterior and separated chicken interior. Bad frying I guess - perhaps the oil wasn’t hot enough. Fried scallops were fine but conceptually I couldn’t understand their place on the menu - they tasted not at all Korean but would have been quite at home on the Jersey shore. And the spicy squid bibimbap had no discernible spice - without the gochujang that we had to ask for - there was no flavor at all. And the rice was undercooked. What a disappointing meal, and not cheap either. This is Korean food dumbed down for the Talde crowd perhaps. #parkslope #brooklyn #nyc #korean #koreanfood #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodblogger #nycfood #eeeeeats #料理
  • Elmhurst’s Pata Market is evolving from a pre-packaged Thai meal and dry goods shop into more of a cafe, similar to the previous denizen of the space, Sugar Club. They recently added made to order $4 somtum, with optional fried chicken, along with a menu of buns, durian and mango sticky rice, and various drinks and warmed up breads from their selection of goods. Maybe @ironsnax can comment on the somtum’s deliciousness or lack thereof. #food #thaifood #foodporn #foodphotography #elmhurst #queens #nyc #nycfood
  • Elmhurst now has a branch of HK-based tong sui chain, Hui Lau Shan (許留山). Most offerings seem to include mango - I tried D8, a pretty good mango sago concoction. #許留山 #tongsui #dessert #foodporn #foodphotography #food #dessert #nyc #queens #elmhurst #chinese #小吃

  • Open 2 weeks and already killing it, lower east side’s @bonsaikakigori is a hit with the millennials. I’ve been twice - first time Matcha Mountain and second time Ginger Mango. Nice job on the portion pricing proposition. I like it. #kakigori #夏季 #料理 #好吃 #shavedice #dessert #lowereastside #nyc #nycfood #food #foodporn #foodstagram #かき氷
  • Cupped a whole bunch of good stuff @coffeeprojectny this past Thursday and also met some cool Bangkok coffee roasters (@rootsbkk’s @ekameth and @view_kij) and a whole lot of other nice folks. Really enjoyed the anaerobic naturals. Thanks to @kaleenateoh & @sum_coffeeprojectny for organizing! #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #brooklyn #nyc #fortgreene #coffeecupping #cupping #cascara #cupofexcellence #brewerscup
  • It’s rare to look forward to the drip coffee at any particular NYC spot, but Brooklyn cafe @dotandlinebk’s drip is so delicious - and you get a free one when you buy a fresh bag of @heartroasters. It’s also cozy and staffed by super chill folks. I’m in the home stretch of Home Cooking by #lauriecolwin for tomorrow’s @_archestratus_ book book club. #reading #books #nyc #brooklyn #boerumhill #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar
  • Pregaming for the @headhi_ny event with an insanely good @coffeecollectif Bolivian Takesi @coffeeprojectny. Thanks @sum_coffeeprojectny! Also getting ready for @_archestratus_ book club. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #reading #books #nyc #brooklyn #bolivian #lauriecolwin
  • Another shoutout to @kazraid and friends who showed us such a good time at Tokamachi’s いっぷく, a smoky izakaya recommended by @__ikote__no__mariko__, where we shocked the master by ordering the entire selection of お勧め (daily specials), an assortment of delicious seafood and fish plates, some raw, some cooked, along with an avalanche of sake, beer and shochu from all directions haha (some of which we paid for). Oh and the really good offal otoshi (free drinking food). #十日町 #日本 #新潟 #料理 #居酒屋 #刺身 #魚 #酒 #日本酒 #japan #tokamachi #niigata #izakaya #bar #soju #sake #sashimi #fish #seafood #food #foodporn #foodie #foodphotography #foodstagram #eats #eater #shochu #焼酎 #和食 #japanesefood
  • I scored this gorgeous (and delicious) yuzu tart and dark hot chocolate at the unwieldily named @greenbeantobar_chocolate. This Nakameguro chocolatier houses a lab, shop, and cafe in a large, bright, airy space. I didn’t try the coffee. #tokyo #japan #nakameguro #craftchocolate #chocolate #beantobarchocolate #chocolatier #bakery #日本 #東京 #中目黒 #チョコレート #ゆず #パン屋 #ベーカリー #カフェ #カフェ文化 #cafeculture #food #foodporn #foodblogger #foodie #eat #eats #bakery #dessert #eater #和食
