Elderflower Syrup @ Ikea

Elderflower Drink, Elderflower Syrup, Swedish Mustard & Hazelnut Chocolate

Elderflower Drink & Syrup

We’re both fans of St Germain liqueur. (The delicate floral liqueur that hints of sweet white flowers baking in the summer sun, honey and some sort of wispy barely-there taste of citrus and lychee.) So, […]

Raj Kamal

These brightly colored balls gilded with silver have a soft doughy texture… not unlike play doh. But, it’s a tasty play doh. There seems to be a note of saffron, ghee and some other floral note. It’s the subtle […]

Vincent Bakery Cafe

Chestnut & Black Sesame

This is a favorite combination of ours. Chestnut and black sesame. The sweetness of the chestnut is the perfect companion to the dark nutty, smoky flavor of sesame. And, the pastry dough is tender, caky and buttery. This is one yummy pastry. Love it.

The Goods @ Mediterranean Bakery

Green walnut preserves, date molasses, carob molasses and two ma’moul cookie presses…

This is just a small glimples into the three rows of dry and canned goods offered at Mediterranean Bakery. They also have three refrigerated cases with cheeses, double cream, yogurt, yogurt drinks and an assortment of […]

Mediterranean Bakery & Sandwich

Lovely and delicious, shreds of crispy dough are stuffed with pistachio and drizzled with honey. The nutty richness of the pistachios keep this pastry from dipping into the too sweet category.

Each nicely charred piece of tender lamb on the kabob has a touch of […]

Humbles & Nuts

Spicy Marcona Almonds

It’s nice when a food claiming to be spicy turns out to actually be spicy. These rich almonds had a lovely dusting of smoky, fiery spices. We both agreed, a touch less salt would be nice. But, they were still finger lickin’ good.

Tortas Gigantes

Tortas Gigantes!

We both loved this place before taking a single bite. Love the name… the staff is friendly… and they make GIANT tortas! What more do you want?

La King

Or, as we like to call it… everything but the kitchen sink. […]

Alon’s House-Ground Burgers

Homemade BBQ-grilled Burger on Mini Ciabatta

Another visit to Alon’s… and we made another great find.

We were browsing with some interest at a rather nondescript vacuum-sealed package of ground beef.

Three-Cut Ground Beef of Hanger, Chuck, & Brisket

And, one of the […]

Birthday Cake Milkshake

Zaxby’s Birthday Cake Milkshake

For a fast food milkshake, this is really quite nice. Birthday cake? Not really. But, we both agreed that it did taste of vanilla pudding. You know the sort of vanilla pudding you see at a cafeteria? Creamy vanilla pudding layered with ‘nilla wafers and whipped […]

Gokul’s Vada Club

Gokul’s Vada Club Sandwich

We’re huge fans of Gokul Sweet’s vada pav. So, when two of these club sandwiches appeared in error, we didn’t mind at all. As a matter of fact, we were happily surprised. At first glance, this might appear to be an odd interpretation of a club […]
