Fish dinner at Aquagrill in Soho

My girlfriend had a craving for some fish the other night, so we decided to try out Aquagrill. I had one of the specials of the night, Halibut with sun dried tomato gnocchi and a roasted garlic emulsion (pictured below). My girlfriend had the Miso-glazed Chilean sea bass with kimchi and wasabi-miso sauce (Pictured above). Both dishes were extremely flavorful but I would have to say that the sea bass was the winner, as the tartness of the kimchi balanced out the dish well.

Street Meat: The Jamaican Dutchy

I truly believe some of the best food you can get is on the street. Good street food should be satisfying (in way that you know is probably not good for you), but most of all it should be cheap.

I heard about The Jamaican Dutchy (corner of 51st and 7th ave) through its Vendy Award nomination this year and decided to give it a try. I got the Jerk Chicken Mini Meal (which I think is more than enough food for lunch) which cost $6.50. Although I think the plantain and rice that came with it wasn't that great, the chicken itself was extremely flavorful and spicy. More pictures below...

Bo Ssam at Momofuku

Last weekend, I celebrated my friend Mark's birthday at Momofuku Ssam Bar. The main purpose of going to Ssam Bar was to order the Bo Ssam - whole roasted pork butt, oysters, bibb lettuce, two kinds of kimchi and two sauces combined in any manner that pleases your taste buds.

I can't say I've been convinced that pork and oysters go well together, but the meal was simply amazing. More pics below...

Back From the Grave

I haven't updated this thing in ages, partly because I've been lazy and partly because I've been trying to figure out what the best format/perspective I should take for this blog. After some thought, I think that my writing is neither exceptionally eloquent or interesting for that matter, and I've decided to continue posting to the blog with much more images and much less text. I also just came from Europe so I have wealth of mouth watering pictures to share with everyone.

To start things off, here is a picture of the first meal I had on my trip to Europe, Mussels cooked in White Wine (which apparently should be Muscadet) and Creme Fraiche. Gotta love French cooking... a touch of butter or creme fraiche at the end makes everything taste beter.
