a little bit about travel, a little bit about food, a lot of everything in between; as seen, tasted and experienced by different points of view..
after work, i felt like treating myself to some japanese food. i’ve been looking forward to trying out this place specifically for its name. the place is small and had around 10 tables. the waiter/owner took awhile to entertain me. i ordered a dinner bento …
this place is expensive. the prices of the menu they were displaying outside the restaurant were outdated. i ordered chicken teriyaki bento. it came with onion and mushroom soup. i was a little disappointed they did not serve miso soup. the bento also came with gyoza, fried mashed potato and salad. the salad did not come with the usual japanese sauce or mayonnaise. i surprisingly liked the gyoza. the fried mashed potato was very good. it was crispy and not mushy. the chicken teriyaki was average.
it was accidental that i ate at this restaurant since i had a hard time finding parking space close to an organic mexican restaurant i wanted to try out. this restaurant has a mix of burmese and chinese cuisine. i ordered their chicken curry lunch …
driving by pizza restaurants everyday reminds me of my craving for pizza. my first attempt to satisfy this craving was getting a frozen di giorno four cheese thin crust pizza from the supermarket. the taste was below average so i had another excuse to try …
i filled my first plate with salmon, tuna, white fish sashimi, mix of maki rolls, ebi sushi, and seaweeds wrapped in tamago wrap. my first plate started well.

i had my first time watching a live baseball White Sox game last Saturday. the crowd was fun. some men who looked almost drunk were cheering loudly and dancing under the heat of the sun. the team lost that day but I enjoyed the whole experience. i would not forget to mention eating bobak’s bratwurst and nachos while watching the game.
Verdict: 5/5

i’ve already eaten at a number of steakhouses in chicago; chophouse, fugo’s and morton’s to name a few of them. together with my friends, we tried one of chicago’s landmark steakhouse: “gene and georgetti.” the free bread and breadsticks were unremarkable. they were hard and …
we celebrated valentine’s day by feasting at “joy yee’s noodles.” it’s a pan-asian cuisine. it serves korean, thai and chinese food. we did not order noodles there though. we ordered the soft-shell crab, korean barbeque spareribs and shrimp with walnuts. the soft-shell crab is very good and the korean spareribs is consistenly good everytime we order it. Their shrimp with walnuts is comparably the same with the other restos in chinatown but still good. joy yee is also known for its wide range of unforgettable fruit shakes and tapiocas. 
Verdict: 5/5
