While I am a foodie, I’m not the healthiest person in the world when it comes to eating. Alright, I eat like crap. (Don’t worry, I’ve gotten a lot better since I got pregnant.) So it should come to no surprise that I hardly ever pay attention to nutrition facts labels. Ingredients. Vitamins/minerals. Measurements. Percentages. […]
Would You Try Human Breast Milk?
Last week, a NY chef made headlines by adding cheese made of human breast milk to his menu. The dish caused quite a stir and even managed to make its way to national news outlets. Those who tried the dish found it quite tasty; however, the general public found the mere idea of healthy adults […]
Pho Tableware Set
I am loving this Pho tableware set! Designed by Omid Sadri: Inspired by the form of the Vietnamese lantern, this pho bowl set is intended to simplfy and enrich the experience of eating the famous Vietnamese soup. The bowl set makes it easier to carry the soup and its many condiments, while creating a new […]
Rank-Free Kimchi?
If Korea were to have a national dish, most people would undoubtedly point to kimchi. With roots tracing to ancient times, there exist dozens of variations, and is the most popular banchan – or side dish – on Korean tables.

Heineken Beertender
When I first read about the Heineken Beertender on Geekologie back in January, I almost fell out of my chair. Because not only do I love beers, Heineken is my favorite common beer. And Krups is one of my favorite kitchen gadget brands. Put the two together and…wow I think I just had a mild […]
Pho32 & Shabu
Last Friday a friend and I had planned to have lunch at BonChon Chicken. However, upon arrival, we were disappointed to see that they weren’t yet open for the day. Walking around K-Town for an alternate restaurant, I noticed Pho32 & Shabu: It’s a tiny place on 32nd St, and we wondered why we hadn’t noticed it before (did […]
BonChon Chicken
Last Wednesday, the NYTimes had an article about Korean-style friend chicken. The word soon spread and I read about it again and again on the Gothamist, Curbed, and other blogs I read regularly. I started salivating as soon as I read the article. See, my parents used to run a friend chicken place back when we […]
