Harry Potter made me hate British food... (Short Review)

Harry Potter made me hate British food... (Short Review)

Yes, I now hate British food because of Harry Potter... Just kidding! I can't really hate British cuisine after only eating one dish. Honestly, I can't criticize British food because the only British dishes I've tried that comes to mind are fish and chips and shepherd's pie. However, I can safely say that I don't like Three Broomsticks Inn's bangers and mash. I wasn't expecting the food of Harry Potter to be magically good, but I didn't think...

Sweet, sweet Zabaglione

Sweet, sweet Zabaglione

The other day I made an Italian dessert called "zabaglione". It is a custard-type dessert consisting of marsala wine, sugar, and eggs. I was surprised how easy this dessert was to make. The best part about zabaglione is how short the preparation time is! It only takes ten minutes! Also, you can replace the marsala wine for any other sweet wine or beverage. I added strawberries with the zabaglione for an added touch of flavor. This is a great...

I was dejected to have to see him leave, but luckily fried chicken turned out to be the saving grace of the day. Taka wanted to eat somewhere before he left for his home country, so...

Gordon Ramsay's Japanese-Mexican Fusion Tacos

Gordon Ramsay's Japanese-Mexican Fusion Tacos

The other day I attempted to make Gordon Ramsay's miso paste-marinated sirloin tacos with wasabi mayonnaise. I thought the fusion concept by Ramsay was very original, and the tacos ended up tasting good! To be honest, I think the steak meat probably tasted better by itself. You normally wouldn't use a top sirloin for a taco, but it was worth a t...

An Attractive Sushi Lounge With Average Food

An Attractive Sushi Lounge With Average Food

Every time I've gone shopping at the Fashion Valley mall, I come across the Blue Smoke Sushi Lounge. I was intrigued by the name of the establishment, so I always wanted to eat here. However, I never followed through until now. The interior of the restaurant gives off a modern and chic vibe. The large windows lining the wall between the sushi bar and the entrance allows enough light into the restaurant to give it a more vibrant and...
