Guh Song Korean-Chinese Restaurant

Dear readers, I have a food nemesis.  His name is Chris, and I mentioned him briefly here.  He and I have such opposing views on food, food prep, everything… well, almost everything… that it’s amusing to talk to him about food.  We don’t argue (not quite) because it’s all personal opinion.  But it makes taking his recommendations for food very, very interesting sometimes…  On that note, he’d strongly recommended Guh Song for jjajjungmyun a few times to me, but I’d kind of ignored him because it’s in Bayside.  Then one day it dawned on me: I go to school in [...]

Congee Village

After a couple of hours at the batting cages, BF and I had sufficiently worked up an appetite – despite my brunch – and met up with BlindBaker plus BF’s former coworker, JP (I don’t know why I referred to him as this in a previous post - one of the downsides to using initialed nicknames constantly) and his wife, VSa, to grab some food.  JP and VSa wanted to hit up Congee Village in Chinatown, which caused both BlindBaker and I to cringe internally, but I decided to put my gameface on and put aside my prejudices.  (With a name [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Wan’s going away dinner

A couple of months ago, CT told me that her good friend Wan was going to be moving to London for business school soon. You may remember Wan as our gracious dim sum guide. Wan said she would love it if CT cooked Indian food, since she rarely does. As an added bonus, we were able to use CT’s parents new apartment with its huge kitchen. CT’s friend JC also offered to cook some Chinese dishes. As for me, all I had to do was bring a can opener and EAT!
CT made dishes her Mother [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Momofuku Noodle Bar

When CT was planning LH’s visit to NYC, she asked me for recommendations on restaurants that she should take LH to. It was a pretty easy decision as there are plenty “Only in NY” restaurants to choose from. The first thing that came to mind is one of the Momofukus. Although Yvo has had some choice words about them and their owner, here is chance for a Feisty Foodie review of Momofuku Noodle Bar. We arrived around 7 on a Tuesday so luckily we were seated right away.
I started off with a beer. I chose [...]

THURSDAYS with TT: Jing Fong Dim Sum

Over the past couple of months I have become quite the food blogger. I or (CT) bring a camera to every restaurant we go to. Since Yvo has been busy with school, I am stepping up and will now have a weekly column, Tuesdays with TT. Bon Appetit!
UPDATE: I am becoming a blogging machine, so I will also be reporting on Thursday afternoons for you.
Believe it or not, I have never been to Dim Sum before. Growing up in the Jersey suburbs, my family was not the most adventurous of eaters. CT made it her priority [...]
