A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Had a glavlocks bagel at this place (hoping it would taste as good as Ivan’s locks bagel). Unfortunately it did not meet expectations. Also had the minestrone soup. It was too think and would not recommend. O well.
If I did come here again, I think I would try their steak and cheese (a picture in the restaurant was posted, only which I saw after I was done eating).
This restaurant was recommended by a friend’s friend as a good Italian restaurant, and he was very correct.
Got a mai tai for a drink (seemed pretty standard).
For appetizers, got several vegetable apps (they were good, but would probably do a meat dish if I wasn’t with a vegetarian). One was the eggplant and zucchini scalene.
They also served bread. One was similar to a pizza bread that I really enjoyed.
For the main, I split a veal parmesan (first time I’ve had that with veal) and a 12 layer white lasagna with a friend (each pasta layer was thinly sliced, that it reminded me more of a flat noodle). Both were amazing.
Also sampled the spicy rigatoni vodka. A great choice!
Only down side with the experience is that we had to sit outside (inside was fully booked). If it were a warmer day, it would have been perfect.
Went to this place for dinner in the upper west side.
Overall, great food. The domain (especially the Siu Mai) was excellent, and even the crispy Cantonese chow menu (got the vegetable one because a friend I was with is vegetarian).
The white food pictured below (some sort of rice noodle) was also great.
This place also had lychee martinis!
Stopped by this Ramen place in Korea Town for a thanksgiving late lunch lunch.
Got the shoyu ramen (which means chicken broth apparently) with pork. Overall pretty good. I should’ve added an extra slice of pork though.
Also paired it with hot Sake. Can’t go wrong with that on a cold day.
Also, wanted to add that this place is a good for eating alone and working on your phone (the eating bar you can just order ramen, drinks, and sit there for a good amount of time on your phone).
We grabbed lunch here after shopping at Dubrovnik Shopping Minceta.
I ordered the Lasagna, and I gotta say it tasted alright (not as good as Carmen’s in Tisno). Also ordered the Aperol Spritz, and it was what I expected from Europe (not too bitter). Overall, wouldn’t not come back here again lol.
We went to this place from a recommendation from our AirBnB host. It was super cheap, but probably wouldn’t come back here again.
I ordered the Tagliolini di Casetello and an Aperol Spritz. The Aperol Spritz tasted what I would expect from Europe (it is supposed to be less bitter in Croatia), but the Tagliolini has too thick of a sauce (and was just ok in taste).
We went to this restaurant for a late dinner at Vodice, Croatia.
Ordered the green noodle pasta with shrimp. Also tried a local wine called Babic. Everything tasted great.
We stopped by here for lunch at Zadar.
I ordered the Penne Carbonara and added chicken, with a merlot to compliment it. Food and drink were great.
We went here for brunch on the last day of the festival (recommended by Milly). Ordered a Serbian dish (which is also served by neighboring countries like Croatia, and got something called pljeskavice. It tastes sort of like a burger, but more plain. Don’t think I would get it again. I did get a latte, and it was actually pretty good (I think they added a little bit of sugar on it). The orange sauce pictured below was good with bread. Also tried the grilled chicken from a friend, and it tasted good (I would get that dish).
One side note is that they have limited alcohol (couldn’t make a mai tai, and no Prosecco).
Got afternoon drinks here with some friends we met at the festival. Service was really shitty, but the Pina Colada was good.
