After quick dinner at Kokekokko, I came here for sushi with my friend. This place was packed. We sat down at sushi counter. Basically we didn't look the menu, just ordered whatever we want.
Sushi was good, the service was slow, but good.
Green tea
Engawa
Albacore
Hokke
Egg
the green thing in the picture (pic left) is awabi
Awabi Awabi (abalone) is usually really expensive, so of course I never had awabi sushi nigiri before. It's kinda tough
I came here, at Susan Feniger's Street with 30% off black board eats coupon. I think we were lucky, because if we were here 10 minutes late, then we probably had to wait for the tables.
*Reservation recommended.
Service was good, very helpful, and I could get to meet with Susan Feniger!
I like the fact that they have very simple menu. You don't want restaurants with hundreds of menu.The type of food is Asian-inspired street food.
My friend told me, he saw two celebrities, but I didn't recognize anybody. Well, I don't watch TV and I don't know American TV stars.

dessert menu
Complimentary gooey curry flavor rice crispy
Tequila Tamarindo $10
Kaya toast $11 toasted bread spread thick with coconut jam; served with a soft fried egg drizzled in dark soy and white pepper
If you come here, this is a must try item. Although, if you don't like coconut, you may not like it, like my friend didn't like it, I'm not crazy about coconut either, but I like these Kaya toast. You dip that toast to fried egg and sauce.
Brazilian Acaraje $7 small black eyed pea fritters with palm oil, garlic, and cilantro; stuffed with citrus cabbage slaw and malagueta chile sauce
It was very good. Recommended.
Tatsutage fried chicken $15 marinated with soy, mirin, and sake, crispy fried in rice batter and topped with spicy kewpie mayonnaise sauce
I think some of the pieces were dark meat, but I still liked it. Tasty. But overpriced.
Brioche (cheese) burger $13 with all natural angus beef, homemade pickles, and yuzu kosho mayonnaise on a brioche bun
The burger was really big. It's tasty and very good.
Macchiato $4
Egyptian basbousa cake $7 with lime curd, whipped cream and fresh berries
Just like I thought, it was too sweet for me and I didn't like it so much. I wish I got rhubarb strawberry crisp instead.
Thai tea creme caramel $7 I liked this one a lot. It's Thai tea flavor, but it's also similar to pumpkin, but really not.
Susan Feniger Everybody was taking pictures with her and I did too.
Intelligentsia, the place I wanted to go for long time. I love coffee, I love cappuccino, and definitely this is one of the place you wanna go for good coffee after your meal.
All pastries looks good
Here's what I got. I couldn't decide between two muffins, so I got both muffins and cappuccino.
cappuccino $3.50 Delicious and so pretty. Warm heart, that's what I need
blackberry muffin, and bacon and mustard muffin $3.50 each
bacon and mustard muffin
Both muffins were very good, but I like bacon and mustard muffin better than blackberry.
I've never heard of CSN stores until I was contacted by CSN to review their product. I was really amazed how they have 200+ sites with over1,000,000 products! So I start browsing their sites for dining set since I don't have any dining table and dining chairs in my kitchen right now. Oh, and remember, they offer FREE SHIPPING for their dining set!
I found some cool dining sets, but they might be too big for my small kitchen.
Then I start browsing cookware and bakeware, as I like to cook and bake. Guess what, they have too many items there, and I can't decide which product to review. So you just have to wait and see which item I choose.
They even have Zojirushi products. They are famous Japanese company and their rice cooker and hot pots are very popular in Japan. I'm using their rice cooker right now but I need new one.
