Simple pasta with some interesting flavors. While the endives were bitter, the creamy flavor with added pepper made the pasta taste good. The cream wasn’t thick nor was it watery. Restaurant: Stella 34 at Macy’s Regards, Manan Kakkar

That disgusting looking thing is a serving of refried beans filled with cheese topped with cilantro & served with sour cream & onions. Small portion, looked very very weird, and wasn’t as exciting to taste. Restaurant: Oyamel Cocina Mexicana (Washington DC)

An Italian restaurant within Macy’s had to be tried. The menu was very different to what I’ve had other Italian places; the pizza for example, had cauliflowers & lemon slices on it. Delicious! Called Cavolfiori, it had cauliflower, lemon and black peppers, along with some sauces. The restaurant stands by itself as a good place…

I’m fascinated by the flavored Mac & Cheese place in NYC called S’mac. I’ve written about some that I’ve had, there will be a few more. This is a simple Cajun Mac & Cheese, not as great as the Masala one, with some Tabasco, it was quite good. Cajun seasonings a simple mix of some…

Stella 34 has really good food. It is a nice restaurant but the lightings from Macy’s disturb the ambiance if the restaurant. With beautiful view of the Empire State, Stella 34 is a must-go. My first appetizer was fresh mozzarella cheese and it was a really fine clock of cheese. Served with some fruity toppings…

To complement my chocolate appetizer & pizza, I ordered cheese. Pictured below are: Aged Manchego Aged Parmigiano Reggiano Herb Goat Cheese And the best was the guava jelly that cane with the cheese. It’s not really easy to consume just types of cheese for food, the guava jelly was a refreshing breather. Restaurant: Ayza Wine…

My main course at the chocolate and wine bar was a chocolate pizza that had bananas and strawberries sprinkled with sugar. Restaurant: Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar

Mango Paprika with White chocolate in the center and the rest are: Golden Espresso Hazelnut Cappuccino And, I think 80% Dark Chocolate The mango paprika chocolate was really fun. Restaurant: Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar

Haru in NYC is my sushi experiment lab. Pictured below are 2 sushi rolls: Mango Phili cheese Cucumber Strawberry Scallions Phili cheese Carrots Jalapenos You will be amazed at how well cream cheese and mango go together. It’s simply amazing!

Indian Chinese, or Asian Fusion, is a spicy meal. I ordered manchruians that are deep fried balls made of flour and thinly chopped vegetables. Dipped in spicy gravy, they are delicious. Unfortunately at Nan King, I did not like the food or the service. Unlike Chinese Mirch, Nan King is mediocre.
