Ce La Vi

Came to this restaurant for our last (late) lunch in Dubai. Gotta say this is definitely a place I would recommend.

First, this restaurant is on the 54th floor of a building called the Address Sky View building (which has two towers and, and this restaurant is located on the bridge that connects them). The view itself is awesome, and it does have a south west view for a good sunset photo. Also the elevator ride to the top has a great view (feels like we didn’t need to go to The Frame for the view).

We ended up staying here for almost 3 hours (from 3pm to 5:40pm… sunset is at 5:28pm). Now to get to the food…

For drinks (for descriptions see the menu picture below), I got the cacao hunter, the champagne pina colada, and the crimson sun (basically an Aperol spritz with grape fruit soda), and an ild fashion (which came with my friend’s dessert). The crimson sun I would get again and again. The others I could get again, but would probably try other drinks in the menu first.

For food, all of it was amazing. Definitely best meal in Dubai. Started of with beef bao buns. Best bao buns I’ve ever had. Also got fried calamari, and the fried rice tuna. Both great. For mains, got the sea bass and scallops. Also both great, and the sauce with the scallops was amazing.

For dessert, got the chocolate fondant cake. Thought the restaurants name printed on it was classy. A friend got the churro. The sauces with it (especially the chocolate one) was good. It also came with an old fashion (for two people).

Again, loved this restaurant.

Contramar

We went to this place on our second night in Mexico City.

It is highly suggested by many that if it is your first time in Mexico City to go visit this place.

For drinks, mainly got Aperol Spritzs.

For appetizers, got the shrimp cocktail and the tuna sashimi. Thought both were excellent. Also got the clam chowder (would probably not get it again).

For the main course, shared a few things. Got the tuna tostados, the king fish tacos, the octopus, and the whole grilled fish.

For deserts, sampled the apple pie with ice cream, the strawberry cake, the flan, and the fig cake. Would get the apple pie again if I had to choose one.

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).

The William

Went to this place for some fancy drinks in New York City.

The one thing about this place is that it’s small, so getting a reservation ahead of time is recommended. We were, however, able to put our name down (for 3, and sitting at the bar), and waited for 1.5 hours (but waited at Park Avenue Tavern, which was close by).

For drinks, got something called Bad Love (very similar to an old fashion), and also tried the Tuna tar tar. The drink was good. The tuna though was not super fresh.

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.

Udon Time

This is a great place to go to if you want some fast Udon.

First, for appetizers, the tempura is great. And special to this place is the crab tempura. It is a MUST to get. I also got the spicy tuna onigiri. Also great.

For the udon, I believe I got the Sanuki, and no complaints.
