The chocolate milk from Ronnybrook Farm Dairy is the real deal. Not only does it taste amazing, but the family owned farm also treats its cows like family members. The milk is pasteurized but not homogenized so the cream floats to the top. The Holstein cows the family uses are grass-fed and free to roam…
Food Reviews
Noodle Village has the Best Wonton Soup
To label any food ‘the best’ is a bold statement. But it this case, it’s extremely true. To be the ‘best’, wonton soup needs to have the following: the ingredients used must be of high quality, and you must be able to tell this dish was made with care and attention. The wonton wrapper cannot…
Cowboy Pie
If you’re a fan of magic layer bars, then you’re going to love the Cowboy Pie ($4) at Hill Country Chicken. This little 3 inch ‘specialty’ pie packs dark chocolate, dried coconut, butterscotch chips and toasted pecans in a graham cracker crust. It’s like a candy bar in pie form. Get your fix. Hill Country…
Pistachio Tulip Cup
Veniero’s is a famous landmark here in New York City, having been established in 1894 by its founder Antonio Veniero. Coming up to its 120th year anniversary, Veniero’s is still family-run. The hardest part is choosing which pastry or dessert you want to have. This time I went for the Pistachio Tulip Cup. The dark…
Lychee Coconut Pavlova
I am a huge coconut fan so of course I was dying to try Dominique Ansel’s Lychee Coconut Pavlova. After a long day I was extremely fortunate to have my lovely boyfriend bring one home for dessert. I have to say, my favorite part is the coconut cream. It’s made with light coconut milk and…

Not only is the food authentic but the prices are so affordable you can make sure to stuff yourself full of delicious food. The specials of the day were plantains…
Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwiches At Holey Cream
If you care about calories, don’t step foot inside Holey Cream in Midtown. Doughnuts. Cupcakes. Ice cream. Cookies. Milkshakes. But I only came here for one thing: the Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwich ($7.25). Don’t expect to be in and out of this establishment in a couple of minutes if you choose to create your own…
Bun Chika Bun Bun
A treat with a name like this deserves a little background info: The men behind Dessert Club ChikaLicious and ChikaLicious Dessert Bar are Chika Tillman and Don Tillman. Chika hails from Japan and trained at the French Culinary Institute, while Don comes from Hershey, Pennsylvania (how fitting!) Both frequent flyers of Delta, Don and Chika…
The Best Sponge Cake
Now, I realize the title ‘The best sponge cake’ is quite a claim to make, but I assure you this is not misleading and I am not the only one to state this. These little cakes from Kam Hing Coffee Shop are legendary, with their eggy, plush softness. There’s something so satisfying about eating something…
Baked Banana Blast at Woodstock Station
If you’re ever in New Hampshire make sure to check out Woodstock Station Restaurant, at the Woodstock Inn. We had the pleasure of devouring a huge plate of ribs and mashed potato there our first night, and I checked out the dessert menu even though I was too full to eat anything else. One thing…
