Jing Fong

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!

Koku

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).

Minceta

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.

Belvedere

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).

Konoba Porat

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.

Eat Me

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.

Bona Fide

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).

Loca Villa

Got afternoon drinks here with some friends we met at the festival. Service was really shitty, but the Pina Colada was good.

Hotel Borovnik

We stopped by here after venturing around the Tisno bridge.

Got the chicken appetizer dish, and a mimosa (they didn’t know what it was, so they put wayyyy too much orange juice). The chicken appetizer was really good, and the white sauce on it was pretty interesting. Also got a latte to go, and it was decent. I would come back to this place again.

Wabi Sabi

This restaurant is on site at the Garden Tisno. Got to say that the service is super slow (from food delivery to getting the bill).

In terms of food, the prawn linguini was ok (sauce was a bit sour for my taste). Also, ordered a Prosecco, and it was too flat (and didn’t taste right.

On a later day got the lemon juice. It was freshly squeezed, but also too sour.
