Overdone eggs at Essex, a light Serfina dinner & some cupcakes to top it off

By Miss Beancurd   Oct 31, 2006

Some of us got together to go with Jess to Essex to start off our birthday celebration.  I’ve been to Essex for brunch before and loved it, but I went this weekend and was fairly disappointed.  The pancakes were still as good as ever but they just didn’t do the eggs well.  The kitchen staff should’ve paid more attention to our eggs.  Eggs, to me,  are practically the most essential part to brunch-  next to mimosas and bellinis that is.  I’ve always been drawn to this place due to it’s high ceilings and the skylight that allows ample daylight to stream through.  Also, brunch for $15 with 3 brunchtails [brunch cocktails] in no way, shape, or form, a bad deal.  FULL REVIEW

Suits & cupcakes

By Miss Beancurd   Apr 20, 2006

Yesterday, Jon & I accompanied Stan to get a suit for our formal dinner next week.  Things wouldn’t have been so bad if I wasn’t yearning for my damn cupcake the whole time we were at Macy’s.  After ages of measurings and combing through colors; we decided on a Liz Claiborne black silk(?) stripped suit (black stripped pattern on black basically).  The bad thing is that even though the blazer fits and looks good on him; the pants are PLEATED.  ACK!  That’s just disgusting.  The sales woman and I were both like- yea… that’s going to make you look fat.  Maybe he’ll prove me wrong and be able to pull them off.. but I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see.  It will be excrutiating if we have to repeat this process- actually, it’s not bad if I don’t have my foodie cravings.  But… it’s safe to say that’s pretty unlikely.  Thankfully, Macy’s is a place where there are tons of food shops for men and people like me.  FULL REVIEW

New York Welcomes Karla to the Lower East Side with Dinner at Chibitini and "Cakes of Cup" at Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery

By The Amateur Gourmet   Mar 08, 2006

Lisa's friend Karla moved to New York this past Thursday from Cincinnati, Ohio for the reason many people move to New York from Cincinnati, Ohio: she testified against an Ohio crime boss and now must live in hiding, forbidding even the most adoring of her new New York friends to take her picture for fear she may be brutally killed. Here she is with Lisa at Chibitini on the Lower East Side (near her new home--pay attention, mob boss!) toasting her arrival with Chibitini's signature drink: the Chibitini. FULL REVIEW

A bagel, hot chocolate, Zozo's and cake

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Feb 21, 2006

Bagels are synonymous with NYC. I didn't really know that until I read an essay about...bagels. Well, it was more about ethnic foodways in America, or something like that (I think the essay started talking about immigrants from the Middle East opening NY-style delis in the mid-west that sold bagels, or something along those lines, which I actually read again for a different class this semester yet have already forgotten because I HAD THAT LOBOTOMY), but it talked about the history of bagels and their connotations. Bagels in NYC (and at least the Tri-State/Mid Atlantic/New England area?) are just bagels, while further out they NY or Jewish bagels, fuuurther out maybe American bagels, even fuuurther out maybe Earthling food...eh, I forgot.

Tiny's Giant Sandwich and a cake chunk

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Feb 13, 2006

Despite that it allows me to sit on my bum for hours on end without a potty break and lessens my desire to participate in any physical movement, I believe the Internet is a very good thing. For instance, I've trained my body to sit for hours and have developed super-human bladder control! FULL REVIEW

And what should happen to be across the street from Tiny's Giant Sandwich shop? Hmmmm...how coincidental....The Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery...how convenient and not carefully plotted and premeditated at all....Okay so it was the reason Robyn and I chose the Sandwich shop. FULL REVIEW

Quickly Shabu Shabu, sugar, and chocs

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Jan 07, 2006

Yesterday I went to Quickly Shabu Shabu with Amy and Diana. ...Or rather, I forced them to join me since I felt like trying shabu shabu, aka "cooking your own stuff in a hot pot because it's fun, heehee!" and it wasn't something I'd do on my own because then it'd be "cooking your own stuff in a hot pot because you're alone, which is kind of sad."

Sugar Sweet Sunshine

By Potatomato   Jan 07, 2006

Sugar Sweet Sunshine, a very cute and cozy sweet shop that makes cupcakes only~ I vaguely remember it from TV and I thought, cupcakes!? How good can it be!? it is still sickly sweet and rough sponge cupcakes right? I got the choco one and a mini-cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries. Turns out the taste is just...normal. I mean, no matter how 'the best' it was praised it's still just cupcakes. The cheesecake is nice though. It did made me happy and feel like a child. Oh it is located right next to Psyop. FULL REVIEW

El Castillo de Jagua and Sugar Sweet Sunshine

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Dec 17, 2005

Dude, I'm so full." I patted by belly. Yup, there was definitely some congestion in there, and by "some" I mean bumper-to-bumper, car-honking congestion. It didn't get quite to the "road rage-induced expletive-filled screaming" kind of congestion; if it had, I would be lying on my bed, moaning in various states of digestive pains, instead of writing this blog entry while wearing pants that suddenly feel too tight.

Lower East Side fooding

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Nov 29, 2005

Even though it's close by, I don't take enough advantage of all the fooding opportunities in the Lower East Side. Patricia, my fooding partner for the afternoon, said she felt like she's missed out on one and a half years of possible good eats. Our plan? TO MAKE UP FOR THIS GASTRONOMIC MONSTROSITY, ASAP.

Sample NYC food itinerary

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Jul 24, 2005

I think I'll start making up a Be Rachel Ray For a Day $40 eating itinerary in NYC. I don't think I'll actually use $40 since that would probably make people explode. But. Hmmmm. I'm calling my food itinerary, "for the person who isn't allergic to anything, likes Asian food, baked goods, sweets, and can eat lots of sugar without resembling a jackhammer or feeling nauseous." It's a long title, I know. It doesn't include many drinks (probably just one) since I don't drink much besides water. SO. Water is not included; bring your own bottle. FULL REVIEW

The problem with Chinese + back to wheat?

This week signified my 9th week without cakes, cookies, rice, bread...all those kinds of things. I didn't go insane, but the overall restriction and my food phobia drove me to come up with a more reasonable diet as noted in my last entry: FULL REVIEW

So much pudding

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Jan 28, 2005

Oh sweet pudding from Sugar Sweet Sunshine, how you mock me! The deliciously untouched by grain pudding has been infiltrated with vanilla wafers (because they taste yummy) making it very hard for me to eat without ingesting some wheat at the same time. I actually felt guilty when my spoon failed to evade a glob of wafer as I quickly shoved a last bite (although I only managed to eat about a third of a cup) into my mouth. Something is wrong with me...oh well, I wasn't even planning to try the pudding but I didn't want my night to end too quickly and I wanted somewhere to chat with a friend. My initial thought was, "Picking hrough the pudding is not truly eating the pudding, thus I will not pick at it!" yet I did. It felt wrong. No more pudding with wheaty things in it for me!

Sugar Sweet Sunshine

By Eat Drink One Woman   Jan 16, 2005

Sugar Sweet Sunshine is better known as a cupcake heaven, with flavors ranging from red velvet to pumpkin to pineapple with cream cheese icing. This morning however, I stopped in and tried the Raspberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Bun, a cloned offering which I originally sampled at Magnolia Bakery. It's a tender, airy flat-topped muffin painted with a lacy, crisp net of hard-candied raspberry preserves and a light-handed sprinkling of powdered sugar. With a steaming cup of peridot-colored sencha, it was the perfect pre-brunch breakfast for a Saturday morning. FULL REVIEW
