La Prosciutteria Firenze sandwiches

La Prosciutteria Firenze located at Via dei Neri, 54r, 50122 Firenze in FIorence, Italy

September 10, 2018:  Starving stomachs brought us to La Prosciutteria Firenze where we had two of their feature sandwiches.  This place is all about sandwiches, proscuitto, and cold cuts!  (I actually didn’t know how to order at first since it wasn’t a regular sit-down restaurant and thus didn’t have any table service.  The self-service sign eventually told me their concept Continue reading

Crepes at La Milkeria in Florence, Italy

La Milkeria crepes

La Milkeria located at Borgo degli Albizi, 87, 50122 Firenze in FIorence, Italy

September 9, 2018:  We dined at La Milkeria where their crepes were a standout according to some online reviews.

La Milkeria was a small and cute Parisan style café that served gelato and pastries too.

Surprising, although we were still within the touristy parts of the city (walking distance from the Uffizi), they had no English menu and everything was in Italian.   Continue reading

La Taquizza food reviews

La Taquizza Restaurant & Tequila Bar located at 3175 Rutherford Rd #28, Concord

January 26, 2019:

Date night at La Taquizza Restaurant & Tequila Bar!  This is a Mexican restaurant and was one of a few that still had available seating on a busy and cold Saturday night.  We were welcomed in and given a seat near their kitchen where one of us was able to see through the glass panes and glimpse the kitchen staff assembling tacos and quesadillas and other items.  They had a TV on the wall showing the game and there were lots of people dining in.   Continue reading

Kam Shan Seafood Restaurant

January 19, 2019:

For our very last dinner in Hong Kong before flying off, we went to Kam Shan Seafood Restaurant in Mong Kok.  This was lauded as a well-known seafood restaurant.  Similar to the restaurants in Sai Kung and in fact many other seafood restaurants in Hong Kong, you can choose the live seafood that you want from the fish tanks and then have it prepared in the restaurant’s kitchen right away to your table.

Dinner at Ming Garden Restaurant in Lok Fu

Next to the Chinese restaurant is a HK style cafe called Chin Yip Ramen that I have dined in for afternoon tea previously.

Lunch at RBTea Waffle & Toast

January 18, 2019:
I haven’t had the slightest craving for or had desire to eat any Western food or non-Asian food these past couple of weeks. I guess I just enjoy Asian food enough.

With that said, since it was lunchtime and we were around the area of this Pioneer Centre Shopping Arcade in Mong Kok, we noticed there was this restaurant called RBTea Waffle & Toast. I was given the suggestion that since we had been eating Asian food constantly that it might be good to switch it up.
