Well Fed On the Town

As one of the biggest commercial ports in Asia, it is no surprise that Singapore has quite a diverse culinary scene. During a recent (and my first) visit to this island city-state I set out to eat various cuisines in different price ranges. After several days of hawker centre fare, Indian fast food […]

Sometimes it’s hard to talk about a restaurant experience because one part was good and another wasn’t. That is the case with Sushi Doraku on Lincoln Road in South Beach. This little sushi place is out of the way (it’s further up Lincoln Road than a lot of people venture) but I wanted to try […]

We went to my grandmother’s house yesterday to help with some computer troubles (my whole family is glad I married an engineer), and she took us out for lunch to a new “Feel Good Fast Food” chain, EVOS. This new franchise recently set-up shop in Henderson, NV (Las Vegas) and currently has a few […]

Many years ago, my Mom and I discovered Christkindlmarkt, a wonderful artisan fair in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania modeled after the open air markets in Germany. And so began the tradition. Every December, we pick a weekend to go and really enjoy the market and surrounding areas. Now that we’ve been going for some eight years or […]

After my unsavory experience at Sushi Siam, I decided that I simply must find good South Beach sushi. So heading out for lunch another day, I noticed that the World Resource Cafe had a good deal of sushi on their menu. It hadn’t been on my list of places to try, but I figured I […]
