My friend became an American (yeah, I know, there are a lot of reasons to become Americans despite many issues this country. After all, America is still a country of oppotunity for many). He will be sworn in this friday, and having a party at some BBQ joint (to make it as American as possible). […]

Summer of Love
I played hookie yesterday. Law & Order was shooting a scene at one of the apartments upstairs, so I couldn’t go up to the rooftop to lay out (also it would be bad to come back to work with a tanned face when you claim you were “sick”). So I cooked. I had a couple […]

Rare Occasion for Yamahomo to be Impressed by a Restaurant (NYC)
[Disclaimer]I am not a devoted blogger, and don’t bring my camera anywhere, so I don’t have any pictures, which is so crucial for food blogs. However, this meal was so amazing that I feel the need to share the experience. As you know by now, I cook a lot, and I usually don’t get too […]

Looking for authentic recipe
I went to Cafe Asean over the weekend, recommended by bunch of Singaporians. Among many good/so so/weird/crappy food I had, Bee Hoon was sooo delicious. I need an authentic recipe for fried bee hoon. Also these Singaporians were talking in details about singaporian chicken rice, and I want to try it as well. Whole chicken, […]
The Secret Ingredient
PINKBERRY DECRYPTED! (well, not completely, but this is as close as it gets without using crack/cocaine/heroin/chemical powder!) I went there 3 times last week, and each time, i was very careful to figure out what they have in it. After all, Pinkberry is from Korea, Japanese and Koreans eat somewhat similar things, especially snack wise, […]

ADDICTED! SOMEONE HELP ME!
I love it. Who cares they are not yogurt, or their health benefit was a lie. Pinkberry is awesome. It’s totally worth dealing with very incompetent store staff, who can’t remember 3 toppings you order. I just went to K-town after lunch because I was craving it too much. But I can’t afford $5.68 for […]

Beet Beats Ex-Lax
Blame Mel, inspired by Ayagwa. Caution. This is my version of Aya”Orange Oil”gwa’s Fear and Loathing in the Realm of Seafood-Lovers. If you don’t like poo talk, don’t bother to read. As umami’s mission statement says, “we all eat three times a day, so let’s talk about it” To me, it’s more like, “we eat […]

All-Clad or All Crap?
I was watching the Today Show this morning, and Bittman was explaining to Lauer that we do not need to buy expensive kitchen stuff. He said one can go to any restaurant supply store and buy cheap stuff. I do see his point that chefs cook thousands of meals and abuse pots and pans, so […]
