Molten Chocolate Cakes w/ Raspberry Filling. An up Molten Chocolate Cakes w/ Raspberry Filling. An updated version of this dessert from 2013, but just as delicious as ever. It’s a classic w/ a twist: rich & chocolatey cake w/ a tart raspberry center. Not overly sweet. You can even make it a few hours ahead, then bake after dinner.

Wishing you a sweet Valentine’s Day filled with love, whether that’s shared with someone special or enjoyed as a little extra self-care. 💕

Started off the year babysitting my sister’s dog, Started off the year babysitting my sister’s dog, Truffle. This little cutie is sweet, clingy, and so well-behaved. Even though it rained a lot, we still squeezed in short walks and quick lunch outings together.

He loves crunchy veggies like carrots and Napa cabbage. He is so smart when it comes to snuffle activities. We hid treats in a rolled-up towel and tied it into a knot. He untied and unrolled it in no time! 

Such a fun (and cuddly) way to kick off the year.

Back to New York after 13 years! This time we visi Back to New York after 13 years! This time we visited during the holidays, and the city was beautifully decorated. Cold, festive, and buzzing.

We were there for Bryan’s work trip, so I wandered around on my own most days, and we squeezed in one half day to explore together. It even snowed lightly on our last day, which felt so dreamy! 

Of course, we ate so much good food. I tried to sample a little bit of everything: pizza, bagels, borscht soup, black and white cookie, gorgeous pastries, and even a Michelin-star meal. 

Our time was short, so there was still so much we couldn’t fit in. But that just means we’ll have to save it for next time.

1. Vessel w/ Christmas trees 
2. Taro & mochi lace batter donut (@papadamournyc) - crispy batter w/ soft chewy mochi & strawberry guava jam. Best thing we ate in NYC!
3. Empire State Building in fog 
4. Fried arroz negro, squid, and romesco (@estelanyc) - The rice has a toasted flavor & a bit crispy. Good seafood flavor & very unique. I love this dish! 
5. Black & White Cookie (@wgbergdesserts) - Soft cake like texture w/ a sweet frosting. Little sweet, but tasty. 
6. Christmas tree in Bryant Park Winter Village
7. Ukrainian borscht soup (@veselkanyc) - Made w/ beet. My 1st time trying Ukrainian borscht, very surprised that it tasted exactly like Hong Kong borscht. Delicious! 
8. Orange pastry (@salswee) - Orange mousse, orange coulis, almond sponge cake & crisp cocoa base. So good! 
9. Macy’s wooden escalator from early 20th century
We spent Friday at Disneyland and Disney Californi We spent Friday at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, and besides the rides, you know we ate a ton. Here are our Top 5 Favorite Foods from this trip:

1. Kublag Curry (seasonal)- A bit like Thai curry. Rich & flavorful, and seriously comforting! The shrimps are seasoned and cooked well. Ideal for a chilly winter day. (@ Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo) 
2. Ronto Morning Wrap (breakfast) - Tasty, but not heavy. The eggs are soft and fluffy, the sausage is way better than a standard breakfast link, and the pita is good too. Warm & savory! My favorite breakfast item in the park! (@ Ronto Roasters)
3. Mickey-shaped Beignets - Cute, fluffy & hot! Not too sweet and totally gives New Orleans vibes. (@ Mint Julep Bar) 
4. Mickey Gingerbread (seasonal) - Always adorable, but truly delicious too. Soft, gingery, and one of my all-time favorites. I’d buy it even if it wasn’t Mickey-shaped. Be sure to mobile-order at 7am so they don’t sell out! (@ Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe)
5. Prime Rib (seasonal) - Not the best ever prime rib ever, but surprisingly good! Tender,  well seasoned and served w/ fantastic mashed potatoes. If you want something hearty & satisfying, this is a winner. (@ Lamplight Lounge)

BONUS: 
1. Lumpia - Right next to the dole whip stand. Lately, every time we grab a dole whip, we also get lumpia. Crispy, meaty, & hot! A bite of lumpia followed by a spoonful of dole whip is the perfect balance. (@ The Tropical Hideaway)
