Oishii Boston | Boston, MA USA
Spicy Tuna Tartare with Cilantro, Sesame Oil and Golden Caviar
Squid Ink Noodles garnished with scallions and gold leaf
So delicious!! This is actually my second go around to this awesome restaurant; this time with a good friend from my University days. We both chose a dish to “try” but I just had to have the squid ink noodles again. Just as good as I remember; I will definitely be back to have some of their other offerings.

Sign from Holeman and Finch
Bacon-Caramel Popcorn
Holeman and Finch’s Burger
Not my first and definitely not going to be the last trip here. Went with a few friends this time (one of whom is Atlanta based photographer, Trent Chau) to introduce them to a great burger. I was also introduce to something new, which is now my new favorite at this awesome gastro-pub; bacon caramel popcorn! Who knew?! (rhetorical, because obviously the people at H&F did). So good. Thanks Trent for lending me the 35mm 1.4L USM. Unfortunately.. I am now hooked on the lens. May have to add it to my equipment list…

Sweet Hut Bakery & Cafe | Doraville, GA USA
Taiwanese Sausage
Salt and Pepper Chicken Nuggets
A great place for drinks and snacks. I will most likely be making another trip back to try out the other street foods. e.g. the fried wings or their fried fish / squid balls. I don’t particularly like any of the baked goods I tried, so far. I just find it a lot sweeter than the traditional buns I’m used to eating. A cool place to hang out nonetheless.

Introduced to me by a good friend. A really awesome place to come and eat! I love that it’s open late (2am) as in my case, I just flew into LA and wanted something good to eat. The food there is ALMOST too pretty to eat. Each dish is a work of art, the way they meticulously place each garnish…. truly amazing.

Manna House | Greenfield, MA USA
Squash Jun; Squash pancake, served with a soy dipping sauce
Dol Bi Bim Bap; Rice toped w/ vegetables and egg served in a hot sizzling stone pot with spicy korean chili paste
To be honest, we were originally trying to go to another restaurant we found google, but ended up stumbling across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Was pretty good. The Squash Jun was probably the best of the two; having a crispy outer layer surrounding the soft layer of pancake like texture with chunks of squash. Quite nice.

Ohhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~
Beautiful and Delicious Crawfish
Between the live music, the cold Abita beer, and the 9-12 pounds of tender/juicy cajun spiced crawfish (shared between the three of us); it was such an awesome day for eating. The only thing was it was probably 95 degrees outside with high humidity; but that’s what the cold brewskies was for. Will definitely be doing that again.
