Why I love New York: Borsch & Congee on the same menu

Posted on August 12, 2007 by

Here’s the menu from Cindy’s favorite Chinese bakery, Fay Da on Elizabeth in Manhattan’s chinatown.  I think it’s fabulous that you can get both Russian borsch soup and pork congee with preserved egg.  I love New York.

Mmmmmmilkshakes at The Soda Shop

Posted on August 11, 2007 by

This is Rikomatic, undercover milkshake inspector, reporting live from The Soda Shop on Chambers Street in Manhattan.  Luckily, today they had as their special flavor pistachio, my favorite.  The good news is that the milkshakes are so thick that they serve them with extra large straws.  This was actually very helpful since the pistachio flavor…

My new favorite ice cream flavor: Swedish Saltlakrits

Posted on July 31, 2007 by

I love black licorice and foods in general that are black.  So when I saw that they had salty licorice ice cream in Sweden, or "saltlakrits" as its called, I had to try it.  Definitely not for everyone, but I love it.

Catalonian virtual cooking? WTF?

Posted on June 4, 2007 by

Ok, I love Catalan cuisine and I love virtual worlds.  But I can’t for the life of me figure out why I would go to a virtual world to learn how to cook a Catalonian dish.  I received a press release telling me that Manuel Diez, head chef of L’Arrel del Born in Barcelona, will…

No rice = no meal

Posted on May 31, 2007 by

So Cindy and I are at Elvie’s, a popular filipino restaurant in the East Village, last weekend.  We ordered a delightful assortment of pork adobo, chicken in a coconut sauce, and a pork skewer.  We only got one portion of rice because I’m cutting back and Cindy doesn’t eat much herself. Our apparent deficit of…

NY Times 9 healthy eating recommendations

Posted on May 27, 2007 by

I finally, months later, got around to reading this astounding, and very long article in the NY Times on healthier eating, called "Unhappy Meals" by Michael Pollan.  For those who don’t have the patience to wade through 12 web-pages of text (i.e. my girlfriend), here’s the quick summary of his nine main recommendations: Eat food….

Oh it’s come to this: I’m counting food points

Posted on May 21, 2007 by

A couple of weeks ago my doctor dropped the bombshell on me that I was on the verge of getting diabetes. On his advice, I’ve slowly been trying to modify my diet to reduce my sugar and starch intake and increase my vegetable intake.  My sister works at Weight Watchers, so she recommended I try…

Mmmmm, schmaltz!

Posted on May 13, 2007 by

Here’s a lovely trio of dinner accoutrements at Sammy’s Roumanian restaurant in the Lower East Side: a bottle of seltzer, ketchup and a syrup container filled with schmaltz.  What is schmaltz, you say?  It’s a bit of Eastern European jewish goodness: rendered chicken fat.  You can pour it on toast, your steak or really anything…

My doctor says I am one Krispy Kreme shy of diabetes

Posted on May 12, 2007 by

A couple of days ago I went to my doctor to get the results of a physical I had done.  I was feeling pretty good: I have been going to the gym pretty regularly, eating better. I expected a clean bill of health. So I was a bit surprised when my doctor looked over my…

Bahn Mi sandwich from Paris Bakery in Chinatown

Posted on May 5, 2007 by

Here’s a picture of the BBQ pork bahn mi sandwich that Cindy and I shared today from the Paris Bakery in Chinatown, NYC.  Not as good as Nicky’s in the East Village or the hidden bahn mi place a block up Mott Street.  But somehow we managed to choke it down. In my opinion, Vietnamese…
