Inakaya
One of the very fine sashimi/sushi place in the city.
I find it interesting the way they serve food if you seat at the counter. The chief will place the food at one end of a long stick and reach out to you

Rayuela
Been busy with other goals in life... too bad I can't keep up the update in this blog, I will try my best!
I tried Rayuela some years ago (check my earlier entry) and miss their super yummy homemade bread. So here I come again! (oh, make the reservation via opentable, you will earn 1,000 points toward your dinning check)
There is the nice bar section

The Stanton Social
My last post for 2010!
I am grateful that I am able to try so many cuisines this year with the person I love~ ♥ I believe that it's not only the food, but also the moment that we share makes the dinning experience enjoyable. Let's discover more goodies for the year that follows ♥
We passed by this restaurant the other night, the environment looked great, we decided to come back, and here we are.
Little treats from the house, some kind of coconut dish. Sweet and soft.
First dish is Maryland Jumbo Lump Crabcake 'Corn Dogs’... hmm, it's like corn dogs without the meat
One of my favorite is this Rhode Island Style Lobster Roll. Large lobster meat and fresh, small portion tho >__<
Then is this Old School Meatballs - basil & ricotta 'manicotti'.
I think this is the signature dish, the Stanton Social Beef Wellington, filet mignon wrapped in puff pastry, with foie gras sauce. It's either this dish or the waiter, when they bring this on, I swear there is a strong smell of truffle oil. Back to the dish, it looks like those Chinese roasted pork puff pastry (maybe that's where the idea comes from). Frankly, the taste is not very impressive, the meat doesn't go well with the foie gras sauce, and the sauce is salty. :(
In comparison, this 'Chicken n' Waffles' with corn and maple syrup is much better. The syrup and corn give the dish a sweet taste.
I am 80% full by now, but how can I skip the dessert. This is Chai Crème Brulee and spiced misfortune cookies. When the waiter brings us the Chai Creme Brulee, he forgets the cookies, we are joking maybe that's where the misfortune comes from. :)
Both are good.
For everyone who sees this post, I wish you a healthy and wealthy fortune New Year!

Blue Elm
Been there a while back, they already changed their menu since I went, but I want to go back again for their other flavors!
It was a small place, yet kinda trendy. I went there as a group of 7, had pretty good food and good time.
I saw their menu online, the "Shared plates" section somehow made me think it's a groupy place, but not quite, not even their food had large portion. However, I still suggest this place for groups, to share the food and share the cost (o'u≦o)☆彡
The Pan-Seared Scallops with peas and sweet corns, my all time favorite, sauteed and soft, deeelicious~
The Crab Crusted & Rsted Portobello Mushroom. Yeah..the blood sauce somehow looked weirdly pink in the photo... Little salty.
The Yellowfin Tuna Tartare, I tasted the tuna, where was the yellowfin?
The sashimi cocktail, too small to share, but it tasted good~
The Cotes d'Agneau, my friend said it's the cod (one of my love), and they ordered 2x, may I have 1 more piece? :P
The ribs, you couldn't go wrong with these!
The Kobe Beef Mafe Aux Legum, wonder if they still have this. I think I had 2 potatoes from this pot... :( also some very spicy pepper inside. My friends who had the meat said it was very good..
The Creme Brulee with strawberries on top and fruits inside :P
The Chocolate Explosion, another name for Lava cake XP
The Hazelnut ice cream and...
The Mocha ice cream~~

Argo Tea Cafe
A nice place to chill~ And they have some unique drinks too~
Since when did Hibiscus drinks become popular?
They are each ChariTea & White Tea Acai Squeeze. ChariTea is sweet and taste more like cherry juice with hibiscus flavor, White Tea is less sweeten.
A big variety of tea leaves available!
They also sell sandwiches and cookies that stuff here.

Thainy
Thainy has the SUPER value lunch! Pick one appetizer & one dish for $6.95, I think that's a pretty good deal in midtown. The food is average, but very nice hip decor.
The place is very nice, with different themes too (check out their website~)
Thai Salad
Crab Dumpling, tho I didn't taste any crab... nice try.
Vegeterian Duck with Basil Sauce, looks yummy~
Beef with Cashew Nuts Sauce, tasted good~
Dessert the Fried Banana, can't go wrong with this :P

Spacious place for group & nice service!
What a tall ceiling
The Thai Chicken Empanadas - fried dumplings with mango on top
The Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps, moderate spicy.
My favorite roll - The Unagi Masago, yummy!
The Volcano roll, it was good, but too plain after the unagi masago roll >__<
My another favorite of the night, the Scallops al Mojo de Ajo. Fresh and tender scallops!
The Wagyu Skirt Steak Churrasco was juicy and the fries were good, you need to taste them yourself :P
The Chile Barbecued Salmon, I was distracted at this point.. I couldn't remember the taste, but I got a well excuses..
One of my friends was announcing she's getting married!! Congratulation to her! And the waiter heard us and wrote this on one of our dessert plates, nice job!
This was the Mexican Chocolate Tart with cinnamon whip
The Dulce de Leche Pudding, rich caramel pudding infused with lychee, and the coconut ball on the side
Last but not least, the Churros with it's dark chocolate-cinnamon dipping sauce
Good foods and good friends and good news, what a busy night ヽ(≧▽≦)ノ

Penthouse 808
A Great place for friends gathering with a nice view on rooftop!
Most people come here for drinks and talks, but I am also here for the food ;)
The view with Queensborough bridge.
Saw this coconut crab cake on the online menu, tho I couldn't taste the coconut... the crab cake itself had the right proportion between the crab and the cake :D
Then there was this Red Dragon sushi roll, blue crab top with spicy tuna, there was pepper inside (to make it more spicy >__< ).
The 808, yellowtail with pepper and mango inside, also a spicy roll, I like this one more :)
Moving on to the entree, the Sesame-Ginger Churrasco Steak, I find the meat a bit salty, the mash potato was terrific!
And here was my favorite dish of the night, the Sesame-Seared Tuna with sweet & sour rice. The rare tuna was tender and juicy, pair with the Teriyaki Beurre Blanc souce just made it taste even better! The sweet & sour rice was moist and delicious.
