i hung out with snow and 2 of their friends for their bday (2 dozen anni celebration) and it was a lot of fun!

we got to the city around 3:15 and walked to ktown. we went to this bakery they all usually go to and they had so many tasty treats, i wanted to try them all! i got a strawberry bouchee & snow got us this strawberry refresher thats kind of carbonated but it was good! it had pieces of strawberries in it so it was cute. then we walked to kinokuniya which is this huge japanese store filled with books,magazines,manga, stationery, plushies,toys,collectables, &moreeee. it had 3 stories!!! there was soo much to look at & i def wanna go back!! i told the bestie about it & she wants to go! (i didnt realize how close it was to bryant park as well. like i totally wouldve went there last time i was in bryant park if i knewww.) we were in there for like an hr. i bought a spirited away japanese book & a cute pop up holiday card for myself bc i liked the art. i wanted a small spirited away book but they only had the big one and the book that shows miyazakis sketches. i feel like i shouldve just gotten that one, even tho it was more money..maybe on my next trip. afterwards, we went to muji, then the nintendo store. so snows friends are very much gamers. well, they allll are lol & theyre into kpop, conventions, etc so theyre quite diff from my friend group but they were very nice! & they were already talking about stuff like how i have to see their friends room bc she has cool things and how they’ll force me & snow to watch the live action.. demon slayer mugen train musical…lolll yes that. we then went backkk to ktown to eat at abiko curry, which is a spot they go to a lot. it was my first time trying it and omg it was sooo good, i ate it all. ive never had korean curry so i thought it was so cool that i could add a pork chop to it and it was crispy! it was so satisfying lol it was like our first real meal of the day at 8:30. im gonna be thinking about that curry for a whilee. afterwards, we were gonna go to this place called starbucks reserve, which is like a very fancy coffee shop/bar, but we realized we wouldnt have enough time so were saving it for some other time. we got gelato that was nearby and they had such cool flavors!! lychee, guava, plum.. i got a scoop of ube and thai iced tea and they went perfect together omg i want it again. i didnt know how thai iced tea gelato would taste but it tasted exactlyyy like the drink so it was so refreshing after our curry meal. after gelato we went back to the bakery to pick up things we wanted to take home with us. we didnt get on the train until 10:30 so we got home later than i thought & i was soso tired the next morning bc i had to wake up early but it was worth it lol. oh yeah! i forgot to mention but i gave snow their bday gift & card in the car so they opened the gift before we walked to the train station and !!! they loved it so much they criedddd D; it was sweet and also shocking and funny bc like!! i didnt mean to make you cry omggg loll for context, the gift was a framed drawing i made of inumaki from jujutsu kaisen and so they said thats its literally the best gift theyve ever gotten, mostly due to it being handmade and i was like WhaTttt no wayyy. the best gift youve ever gotten?!? they knew i was gonna draw something already bc they didnt want me to buy a gift & wanted something handmade like my art but ofc they didnt know what id draw & didnt really expect me to draw Him. they saved the card for our train ride home bc when they first opened it in the car & saw so many words they couldnt read it yet lol. when snow was on their way to my house they realized they forgot my gift (for my bday) and i was like MY Gift!!?! i really dont know what it could even be… it was fun spending time with them and i feel like its a nice change to hangout with a different friend group. idk like something about it feels fun and refreshing & just different. ofc it depends how comfortable i feel with everyone. but yeahhh, it was a good day & i got to try a lot of yummi foods

(my bracelet fell off and idk where it went:(( it could be somewhere in my room or my bfs room.. i dont believe it fell off at work.. or the shower..but i dont wanna think about thatD: it wasnt really a sentimental one i guess.. but it was like a good bracelet..& old.. &cute:( im hoping it shows uppppp!!!!)

My Favorite Insta-Worthy Dessert Places in Houston

My Favorite Insta-Worthy Dessert Places in Houston

Houston is a hub for amazing food from all over the world and this is the city where I tried a lot of different foods for the first time like Greek, Thai and French. It’s also a place where I’ve tasted the most indulgent sweet treats from around the world and developed a deep love for coffee, especially iced caramel lattes during the Houston summers.

“One of Seoul's most Popular Bakery! It is #TVXQ UKnow Yunho and Max Changmin's Favorite Bakery!”

170308 Yunho had gone to Hyoja bakery, located close to the police agency, on his way to visit Changmin, and bought many of their products which included Changmin’s favourites.

Changmin had come once or twice in two months. Yunho came personally get the bread that Changmin liked for his visit with him.

Yunho asked what were the bread Changmin liked and bought them. He also came back to buy more after trying. In total, that was about 36,500￦ (2nd time).

Yunho had come along with a guy friend to visit Changmin and bought 60,000₩ worth of bread. A really cute part – He didn’t buy the cornbread the first time but returned again to buy it. 

Bread that Yunho bought:

1. Cornbread 2. Cheddar mocha bun 3. Apple pie 4. Bouchee 5. Onion cream cheese 6. Squid ink ciabatta 7. Fig bagel 8. Cranberry 9. Chocoball doughnut 10. Financier

In the car, Yunho chose to eat the choco doughnut and financier. So the rest is for Changmin and co.?

Ranking the Restaurants

Now that I’ve been back a few days, I’ve had time and distance to reflect on my trip, and the amazing food odyssey that I experienced. As a part of that, I thought it would be interesting and fun to score the restaurants.

I decided to borrow my ranking system from the Washington Post’s Tom Sietsema. Here’s how it works:

First, any restaurant with a star is excellent. Just to make the list and be scored means that the place is worth a visit. The good news is that thanks to my research, I had very few restaurants come through with zero stars, but they’ve got their own space below. With that in mind, here’s what the various stars mean:

**** — Outstanding. Really something special. Usually marked by an interesting point of view, innovative or elevated approach to the food, technical excellence and great service. Among the best restaurant experiences I’ve had anywhere, beyond this trip. *** — Excellent. Great food. Great service. But not quite as distinctive or elevated as a four star place. ** — Darn good. A place that I’d be happy to visit again. * — Perfectly fine. Often these were places that I liked, and was glad to have tried, but wouldn’t go back. 0 — Crap. No good. I’m sorry I visited, and I discourage anyone else from going.

So, with the scoring system sorted, let’s look at the scores:

**** Stars Outstanding, innovative and elevated.

Peg Leg Pete’s Pensacola Beach, Florida

Michelin’s criteria for two stars is “excellent cooking, worth a detour.” I would happily plan a long weekend in Pensacola just to return to Peg Leg Pete’s. Yes, it’s a dive bar. Yes, the menu is almost entirely fried. Yes, the food was served on styrofoam. And I don’t care a whit. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. The beer was local and excellent. The staff was kind and welcoming. And the Key Lime Pie was made by someone’s grandmother in her home kitchen. The bill was less than $30. For all of the high-end places I tried, this was the best meal of the trip.

Shagbark Richmond, Virginia

Chef Walter Bundy spent years creating high-end, French-inspired classics at Lemaire. Now he’s using those techniques to elevate southern cuisine, making the most of local and seasonal products, and delivering something that’s next-level good. If a Michelin inspector ever made it to Richmond (fat chance), Shagbark would be worthy of serious consideration for a star. Bundy’s food isn’t as playful and evocative as Sean Brock’s: The experience is more serious and considered. But Shagbark would be a great restaurant in any city. Richmond is lucky to have it.

Fisher’s Orange Beach, Alabama

Fisher’s has pulled down big accolades. Like Brock and Bundy, Chef Bill Briand is elevating southern food, and using the best ingredients, plucked out of the sea and delivered to his kitchen from the fishermen who use his marina. I’m sorry I didn’t get to try his fine dining offering, but his ability to elevate a simple fish taco, reimagine sweet potatoes, and deliver it with a sense of humour across a bar tells me all I need to know. Like Peg Leg Pete’s, I would happily go out of my way to return to Fisher’s.

Ajax Diner Oxford, Mississippi

Located on a busy town square in the middle of a college town, you could forgive the Ajax for turning out burgers and beers. Instead, they produce home cooked classics that you’d be happy to eat at your grandmother’s kitchen table. The Ajax was probably the most traditional place I went, but they embrace tradition all the way, revel in it, and turn out great food flavoured with love. If I lived in Oxford, I’d be a regular.

Meatloaf and sides at the Ajax Diner.

*** Stars Excellent. Great food and service.

Commander’s Palace New Orleans, Louisiana

High-class throw-back cooking in New Orleans most beautiful neighbourhood. What’s not to love? Great ingredients brought together into some of the south’s most iconic recipes. Service with a smile and laugh.

Gallatoire’s New Orleans, Louisiana

Cornerstone of the French Quarter. Stand in line with local residents and well to-do out-of-towners, then revel in some of the best cooking around. Trust your waiter. They know what’s fresh and tasty.

Husk Nashville, Tennessee

Sean Brock’s Nashville spot. His menu was playful and brilliant. The food was excellent. And I totally buy into his philosophy. I wish I’d been able to go for dinner, as I suspect that would have been a more elevated experience.

Indian Pass Raw Bar Port St. Joe, Florida

They harvest the oysters, then shuck them, then bake them, in just a few hours. Serve yourself. Pay for what you eat and drink. Settle in for the afternoon, or the evening. Worth a detour. You won’t regret it.

Le Bakery Biloxi, Mississippi

Vietnamese is now local cuisine across the gulf coast, and this is one of the best spots to find it. Fresh bread that a Parisienne would love. And you couldn’t find a better Banh Mi from Hanoi to Ho Chi Min City.

Monell’s 6th Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee

Home cooking around a communal table, making new friends over great food. What’s not to love? Ultra-traditional with fabulous flavours in big bowls. Another place that I’d love to be a regular.

Ravenous Pig Winter Park, Florida

Husband and wife team, James and Julie Petrakis doing their bit to elevate and renew southern cooking with a real emphasis on pork. From the homemade bread to the pork porterhouse, I left happy and full.

The Regional Kitchen & Pub West Palm Beach, Florida

Chef Lindsay Autry getting into the elevated southern game with her brilliant cooking. More homestyle than Husk or the Ravenous Pig, but building from underused classics like Devilled Crab. Homemade parker house rolls were a winner, too.

The Roosevelt Richmond, Virginia

Chef Lee Gregory’s place helped renew Church Hill and contributed to Richmond’s food renaissance. The Roosevelt manages to balance fine dining and neighbourhood stalwart, with great food I’d be happy eating every day.

Sally Belly’s Kitchen Richmond, Virginia

Nearly a hundred years old, and still delivering great food every day. If there’s better potato salad on the planet, I don’t know where to find it. Also, cupcakes. And egg salad. And, and, and. Visiting Richmond and missing Sally Bell’s should actually be a crime.

Spoonbread Bistro Richmond, Virginia

Stylish spot in the Fan by Chef Michael Hall. Another perspective on elevating southern flavours. Local and fresh. Great food driven by clever ideas. Another place I’d be a happy regular.

** Stars Darn good. Worthy of a return visit.

Allman’s Barbecue Fredericksburg, Virginia

Great Virginia-style barbecue. A classic. Huge portions. Yes please.

Blue & White Diner Tunica, Mississippi

Old-fashioned road-side diner with stellar Sunday buffet. The only place to eat in Tunica.

Cafe Bouchee Franklinton, Louisiana

Superb local fare with a cajun accent. Worth passing by.

City Grocery Oxford, Mississippi

Big reputation, but merely darn good. Chef Currence is evidently innovating elsewhere.

Dandguerre’s Nashville, Tennessee

Local meat and three that the tourists haven’t found yet. Definitely worth trying.

The Kitchen West Palm Beach, Florida

Weird atmosphere. Good food. Great coconut cake. That’s enough to bring me back.

NOLA New Orleans, Louisiana

Emeril Lagasse’s French Quarter spot. Cajun reimagined sort of works.

Obrycki’s BWI Airport, Maryland

Crab cakes in an airport. Are you kidding? No. If you’re in BWI, eat at Obrycki’s.

Pierce’s Pit Cooked Barbecue Williamsburg, Virginia

Great Virginia-style barbecue. An institution.

Puckett’s Nashville, Tennessee

Tasty breakfast. Favourite of local police. Good food and nice service.

St. Roche Market New Orleans, Louisiana

Food truck food behind permanent counters. Glad I went. Wish I lived nearby.

Taylor Grocery Oxford, Mississippi

Great catfish and other local delicacies.

* Stars Perfectly fine, but I wouldn’t return.

Apalachicola Seafood Grill Apalachicola, Florida

Local ingredients, but lacking the care and attention. Go elsewhere.

Away from the World Burger & Beer Bar Cedar Key, Florida

Decent burgers with a view.

Ballpark of the Palm Beaches West Palm Beach, Florida

Hot dog before the game, with a fixings bar that included sauerkraut. #winning

Brickhouse Barbecue Columbia, Tennessee

Perfect adequate barbecue if you’re just passing through.

Cafe Beignet New Orleans, Louisiana

Good beignets without the queues at Cafe du Mont. Next door to my hotel. Winner.

Champion Stadium Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Hot dog before the game. Yes, please. And darn tasty.

Cilantro Mexican Vicksburg, Mississippi

A much needed Mexican diversion.

Felix’s Oyster Bar New Orleans, Louisiana

No substitute for Acme just across the street. Go there.

Pancho & Lefty’s Tacos Nashville, Tennessee

Great tacos just off broadway.

Ruby Slippers New Orleans, Louisiana

Breakfast to battle the French Quarter hang over, just outside the Quarter.

Starlite Lounge Richmond, Virginia

Hangover cure: burger with chilli and a fried egg. Tastes better than it sounds.

0 Stars Dreadful and Disastrous. Avoid.

The Island Restaurant Cedar Key Florida

The infamous culinary crime. How could you serve clams and pasta with no sauce? I still can’t believe it. Catastrophic.

Mary Mahoney’s Old French House Biloxi, Mississippi

Frozen in time, but in all of the wrong ways.

The Grill at Libbie and Patterson Richmond, Virginia

Good sandwiches. Wretched service. Will never return.

Woolworth on 5th Nashville, Tennessee

Great idea. Amazing history. Bad food. Rooting for it to get better.
