Ubiquitous Chip

First restaurant we ate at in Scotland! Was highly recommended at the west end of Glasgow (near University of Glasgow which is why there were a lot of students). I really liked it (the friend I was with wasn’t as impressed).

We mainly loaded on starters first. Tried the scallops (which was my favorite), then a salmon dish followed by haggis (that Scotland dish wish I was willing to try but probably wouldn’t be keen on getting it again).

For drinks got an espresso martini and a whisky drink.

For my main got the cod with lobster cake. I liked the cod, but would probably skip out on the lobster cake next time.

Figaro

Went for dinner at this restaurant before seeing a comedy show at the Comedy Cellar in the west village.

For appetizers, got the salmon over crispy rice. Great choice and would definitely get it again. For the main course, got the scallops with trofie pasta. Also great choice (scallops were cooked just right).

For drinks, did the standard Aperol spritz (as this is an Italian restaurant).

Russ & Daughters

Tried the bagel place for breakfast/lunch at the lower east side.

This place is known for their lox bagels. And that’s exactly what I got (the original). Honestly it was really good. Got it with a sesame bagel, original cream cheese, tomato, onions and scallions. The salmon they used I wasn’t quite sure what it was, but it was good.

Kaisen Misakikou Shibuya Higashiguchi-Shop

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).

Katsumidori Seibu Shibuya

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).

Mykonos Social

We twenty to this place for dinner because Jason Atherton (head chef of this restaurant) is a Michelin star chef.

This restaurant is in a resort in what we called the “rich” part of Mykonos. You NEED a reservation to get into the resort (it’s guarded by a gate).

For drinks, we got a white wine from Santorini. Also got something called The Avenger (which had a mix of Monkey Shoulder whisky, and some tomato sauce. Almost feel it was derived from a Caesar, but it’s not spicey.

For appetizers, we got a salmon dish, a ham dish, a dish with feta and vegetables in bread, and sea bass with pesto. All great and would get them again.

For the main, we got a medium cooked tomahawk steak, penne with pesto, a Greek salad, and some sort of fish dish. All were great.

For desert, got a white chocolate cake thing. It’s good in small doses (wouldn’t get one for myself).

Eva’s Garden

We came here for dinner on our first night in Mykonos.

For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz. For appetizers, we shared a Greek meatball dish called Soutzoukakia. It tasted like a traditional meatball dish, but still pretty good. Also got some fried feta. It was alright, but prefer mozzarella sticks.

For my main, got penne with salmon. It was great, and again, great portion size.

Pacman Sunset Restaurant

We went here for our second night at Santorini.

We were supposed to come here for sunset? But came a little later because we were taking pictures somewhere else in Oia. But we did make it to see it would have been a great sunset view.

The place itself is pretty legit. There’s an infinity pool with a pool bar (closes at 6pm though), and a DJ that is live mixing.

Will say drinks and food are a bit expensive, but everything was great.

For appetizers, got a hamachi truffle roll, crispy calamari and tomato pepper spread with pita. All great.

For drinks, got something called tropical art rum with lychee and pineapple juice, and something called summer _____ (sparkling win, passion fruit and vanilla).

For the main course, got something called Skioufixta, which is smoked salmon bits the Cretan pasta. Also great, and portion size was just right.

Overall, would come back again!

Bouchon

We tried this restaurant after visiting Artesa winery in Napa. Note that it took a friend one month to get a reservation! (Also it’s a Michelin star restaurant.

For drinks, got the brut rose and a lemon drop. Both drinks were good (what not amazingly special).

For appetizers, we got the pate, tartare, escargot and deviled eggs. I actually liked all of it.

For the main, got the salmon. Probably shouldn’t have asked for it to be super well done, but still I enjoyed it (also like the cous cous it came with). I did try the steak from someone else. I thought it was too salty.

Bouchon also has a bakery beside it. I got the chocolate macaron, and gotta say, it was the best macaron I’ve ever had! The brownie from there is also good.

In short, I would definitely go back to the bakery. The restaurant I would eat again at, but wouldn’t go out of my way to make a reservation a month in advance.

Kona Grill House

We came here for lunch to eat poke bowls.

I got the sampler poke bowl (see picture below for the 4 fish I got). The only fish that was good was the Salmon. The Go Girl has too much Mayo, and the other two were really salty. Also got a crab cake which was great.
