A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Went to this place after a fine dinner for drinks in the Polanco area in Mexico City. Surprisingly the place surpassed expectations.
The music was mainly disco house, so lots of Purple Disco Machine. The waited sometimes strobed his flashlight when we a sick song came on. We also got sparklers from the waiter for free.
For drinks, mainly stuck to what I knew, which is Jameson highballs and Glenlivet on the rocks.
Will say the music sort of went downhill after 12:30am.
We went to this place for drinks for our second night in Mexico City, located in north Roma.
Definitely recommend this place for drinks. Had a coffee type drink (of course with alcohol), and a Jameson highball.
Went to this place for my first dinner in Boston (wanted something with noodles).
Sat at the bar and got a couple of drinks plus food. Got a memoset as a drink (of course a whisky based cocktail) and toki highball (they had a very large Japanese whisky selection).
For food, got the Pork Yakisoba. I liked it, but didn’t have enough meet (would get it again, but paired with something else with more meat. Some people would say it was just instant noodles with a bunch of flavoring and some meet added).
I liked the vibe of the restaurant, and the bartender was good to talk to (he gave some suggestions for speak easys). I would come back here.
So we found this place near our hotel in Shibuya while walking to find something to eat. It’s a conveyor belt sushi place. Overall, great food, and very fast.
Got a sashimi plate, a nigiri plate, and of course a highball. Would recommend coming back here again.
PS. Could not find this on Google maps (it is on Apple Maps though).
We went to this ramen place after a long night out at Womb.
Overall, the ramen was great, and the middle thickness is what I wanted. Would definitely go back here again.
We went to this place for lunch in Shibuya.
They have a limited menu, and they only accept cash (you have to pay before you get seated also).
I got a highball (of course), and a miso ramen with extra pork and stir fried vegetables (which were basically just stir fried bean sprouts). The noodles seemed home made, but they were the thicker kind (not the thinner ones).
Leaving the restaurant I would have said I would have came back. But I did have a stomach issue later on. So now not sure.
We came to this place as our first meal in Shibuya (it was a recommendation from a friend).
Although it is conveyor belt sushi, there weren’t too many items on the conveyor belt (you mainly ordered from an iPad).
Among the items I got: sashimi, nigiri, salmon, tuna, California rolls, highballs.
Would definitely come back to this place again.
PS. It was a bit tricky to find since it was in a mall (you take an elevator up to some floor, and then it’s a 30 second walk. Also note the line seemed pretty long, but it went by fast, like 30 minutes).
We stopped by this teppanyaki place for dinner in the Gion region in Tokyo. Great find.
For drinks, got several highballs (obviously).
For food, got Negi-yaki with Japanese beef, and Fried noodles with salt and garlic. Both really great. (A friend got the mushroom and corn vegetables. Definitely recommend).
(Ps clothes will smell like food for a while unless you wash them).
We came here to have yakitori, and the selection for the most part was great.
From what we ordered, the noodles, chicken thighs, chicken breasts, beef, chicken meatball and cucumbers were really good, and I would order all of it again. For drinks, I had the kaku highball, and Chita whisky on the rocks.
Went to this speak easy the first night in Osaka Umeda (in the Kitashinchi area). Definitely had a lot of Japanese whisky selection.
The thing about this place is that they don’t have a menu (so it’s kinda hard to know how much you’re gonna pay unless you ask how much each whisky is).
I tried a version of Hibiki Harmony called the Blossom’s choice (around $400 a bottle). As well got a high ball (not sure what whisky). I would definitely come back here again (and try other whisky’s, but look up the prices online before ordering).
Also, the glasses looked pretty sick (as seen below)
