This cheery Japanese snack is called Happy Turn (!

This cheery Japanese snack is called Happy Turn (!) but pronounced more like happy ton in Japanese (ハッピーターン) and apparently features a character named Prince Turn (?) from the Happy Kingdom.

It also proclaims, “Happy Powder, so delicious you can’t stop!” While hilarious, this also happens to be true. I love these freaking things.

The bag contains a bunch of individually plastic wrapped rice crackers (senbei) that are fairly light and on the dry side. The first one you consume, you’re like, eh, that’s decent but not great. But the second one initiates the full flavor powder transfer to your tongue, and then you’re hooked on the subtly sweet salty taste. The coating really is a happy delicious powder.

I get them at various Sunrise Marts, but other Japanese groceries might have it. It’s often not in stock so if you see it buy a few.

I love everything about @ixvcoffee, tucked away on a Boerum Hill side street off Third Ave, super chill vibe, heart in the right place, friendly relaxed staff, attractive ceramics, bric a brac laden shelves. This Counter Culture espresso was perfectly extracted. I also paid homage to the late lamented Dot & Line BK (last photo) #boerumhill #brooklyn #nyc #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #thirdwavewichteln

Acquired this excellent Lebanese flatbread, sujuk, at the newly opened @manoushehnyc on Grand St - Lower East Side. Place is cheap for the quality. I highly recommend adding a $2 side of thoum (garlicky hot sauce). #lowereastside #nyc #ny #manhattan #lebanesefood #sujuk #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny

I like everything about @seycoffee, one of my go to spots for coffee beans. Their East Williamsburg roastery (and sole location) sports a beautiful dystopian chic interior, has friendly, competent staff, and purveys lightly roasted coffee. You get a free drip coffee with a box of beans - today’s was Ethiopia Asefa Dukamo - but I always get an espresso as well. They do a great job. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #thirdwavewichteln #カフェ#コーヒー #咖啡

Sharing space w/ @sakaguraev after moving out of their E 10th St digs, @hi_collar is still (wo)manned by Yuki Izumi, who made me a good @waypostcoffee pourover. Waypost roasts at LIC’s @regaliacollective. The last picture in this set is of @bettybakery’s new spot in Windsor Terrace, where they took over the old Dub Pie spot. It’s real barebones atm - they are serving Gowanus roaster @abbotsford_road along w their slate of baked goods. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #thirdwavewichteln #カフェ#コーヒー#咖啡 #ハイカラ #nyc #eastvillage #japanese #newyorkcity #manhattan #ニューヨーク

New West Village coffee shop @amano_cafe pulls good shots of @sweetleafnyc. They use @devocionusa for milk drinks - or might switch it up depending. Chill outdoor seating on the corner of W 4th St and Jones St. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #nyc #newyork #manhattan #westvillage #thirdwavewichteln

I had a decent espresso and also a good cold brew at @sakridcoffeeroasters in Princeton, NJ. Pictured is my mom’s cappuccino. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #princeton #nj #newjersey

I love everything about @prosperitykitchenpantry. My niece and I were extremely happy with our Roman-style pizza al taglio - they have a 3 day fermentation process and use organic flour. The counter folk were friendly and helpful. Hope to get here again before heading back home. We got some more pizza, basil ice cream and other baked goods to try later. #pizza #sourdough #va #vb #virginiabeach #vibe #eva #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #organic #fermentation

If you haven’t heard the momentous news, @everymanespresso has switched to @blackwhiteroasters after 13 years of being nearly synonymous with Counter Culture Coffee in NYC. I’ll toast to that. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #parkslope #brooklyn #nyc #thirdwavewichteln #café #coffeeroaster

Neighborhood farm to table spot @lot2restaurant st

Neighborhood farm to table spot @lot2restaurant still puts out my fave NYC burger, its cheddar-covered, lightly seasoned Creekstone Farms grassfed beef perfectly balanced by the acidity of the thin sliced pickles & pickled onions. Great bun too. And their crunchy duck fat, whole potato wedge fries are arguably as good as the burger itself. $21 well spent. In the background, a tasty sour @grimmales Plink acquired at @highlownyc. #nyc #greenwoodheights #brooklyn #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny

Congrats to @highlownyc on the soft opening of their gorgeous cafe. Stop by for a delicious @seycoffee, stock up on craft beer & natural wine from their amazing selection, and grab one of their inventive baked goods crafted in-house. #coffee #cafe #espresso #cafeculture #thirdwavecoffee #specialtycoffee #coffeebar #espressobar #bar #craftbeer #naturalwine #bushwick #ridgewood #brooklyn #queens #nyc #thirdwavewichteln

The soy sauce chicken and roast duck from this old

The soy sauce chicken and roast duck from this old school Homecrest Cantonese roast meat place was disappointingly greasy and not particularly flavorful, while the pork had a bit too much of that artificial red coating on the outside and was similarly undelicious. There’s another, more modern spot across the street that I’ll get food from next time. #homecrest #chinatown #brooklyn #nyc #chinesefood #cantonesefood #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny

A voluptuous sourdough bombolone from @leosourdoug

A voluptuous sourdough bombolone from @leosourdough, stuffed to the brim with a fluffy ricotta filling studded with pistachios, the slight heaviness of the fresh cheese tempered by homemade rhubarb jam. Almost entirely unsweet but for the granulated sugar dotting the exterior. What a glorious thing. They’re selling them intermittently via pre-order. Highly recommend - one of my favorite New York City treats. #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #dessert #doughnuts #bomboloni #donuts #nyc #williamsburg #brooklyn #料理 #パン #sourdough #italian #bakery #パン屋 #美味しい #好吃

It’s hard to tell from their online footprint, but NYC’s best Sichuan restaurant @guanfusichuanny is open for takeout. I ordered two of my faves (dry pot chicken & mung bean noodles) and ate them at home w/ @the_rice_factory_ny rice. The mung bean noodles were very ma and very la. Phew. Covid setup is first-rate, involving draped plastic sheets and masks, although signing the receipt with a pen was a bit of a bummer #food #foodporn #foodpic #instagood #foodlover #newforkcity #eeeeeats #foodpost #foodblogger #instagood #instafood #eatingnyc #nyceats #eaterny #nyc #queens #flushing #covid #chinesefood #sichuanfood #料理　#美食 #好吃 #美味しい

Flushing restaurant 官府川菜 @guanfusichuanny

Flushing restaurant 官府川菜 @guanfusichuanny hasn’t lost a step in the 3 years it’s been open - if anything it’s better than ever. I’m already plotting my next visit - number 18. :) I crave their Suan Cai Yu - hot and sour fish soup w/ pickled mustard greens, with its complex broth, variety of different chili peppers, and house pickled greens. So soothing and delicious.
Their mapo tofu is my fave in the city, and all of their dry hot pots are wonderful as well. This time we ordered pork and shrimp. Other dishes included their noteworthy rendition of ox tongue and tripe and another cold appetizer, their homemade mung bean noodles (a fave among our group), string beans with pork, and their signature razor clams with a refreshing mala tingle.
New York City is lucky to have a Chinese restaurant of this caliber - easily the best Sichuan restaurant and probably the best Chinese restaurant in the city as well. Please go support it in these difficult times. Last night there were only a few tables eating.
