Neighbourhood: North Park
En norsk och en indisk gå in på ett svenskt restaurang. . .
A waspy Norwegian and a spicy Indian walk in to a Swedish restaurant...
Sounds like the making of a bad joke, doesn't it? Well, it isn't! You see, I married the polar opposite. He loves bland…More »
2. Duchamp - CLOSED
*to the tune of Beyonce*
"All the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies...
Now get yourself to Duchamp"
That was a horrible attempt to rhyme, but whatever, you get the point. Get yourself some smoking sexy…More »
3. India House Restaurant
I like to think I am a connoisseur of Indian food (key word: like). I may know a thing or two about Indian food considering the fact that I am somewhat Indian (I have the genes) and I have cooked for large Indian gatherings. Those Indian aunties can…More »

On a beautiful Saturday evening I call my manslave/ backup husband, LOLycakes...
Me: I see you survived last night's debauchery at the gay bar
LOL: oh, it was a gay bar? No wonder there weren't any women around and my vodka cran tasted like vodka and…More »

Categories:
Middle Eastern,

Neighbourhoods: Near North Side, River North
Yo, dawg! Do the downward dog before you get here. You will need some stretching before sitting on the floor style seating.
Rainy evening, dinner time, looking for something different from standard fare. We walk into Kan Zaman. The host offered us…More »

Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Fulton Market, Near West Side, West Loop
Had you told me there is a restaurant in Chicago that serves innovative, non-instructive, down to earth cuisine that can actually fill your stomach, I would have looked at you and said "get the eff out". Fancy pants places do not serve filling food.…More »
7. La Madia
Chicago, IL 60654
(312) 329-0400
I like it when my ill conceived notions are disproved. Especially about pizza. I am a lover of thin crust pizza. Deep dish can go to hell for all I care. For years I believed Chicago cannot do a good thin crust pizza. I have tried numerous places,…More »

Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Lincoln Park, DePaul
Breakups are very similar to marriages. Both have the words "special occasion" written all over them. Both require you to be strong, loving, understanding, and accommodating. Most importantly, both require you to respect each other and act civil....…More »
9. Isla Pilipina
Chicago, IL 60625
(773) 271-2988
Category:
Filipino
Neighbourhoods: Lincoln Square, Ravenswood
This is going to be one of those cheesy, sappy, love-filled reviews. If you think I am going to be my usual self and write a review filled with filthy language and sexual escapades, you are shit out of luck. There I go with my cussing again. I should…More »
10. Marrakech Cuisine
Decent date place with a strange but cute ambiance. You know that kind where the decor seems odd but adds to the charm of the place? Yes, that's how it is. We haven't been on a date in a while considering our schedules and decided to take advantage…More »

Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Neustadt-Nord, Belgisches Viertel
After two days of eating bland German food, we needed a kick to our palate. One can only eat wiener-schnitzel for so long. A day of sight seeing in Köln rendered us tired and hungry.
On the strip of Hohenzollernring where there is a different type of…More »

Neighbourhood: Centrum
Raaawrrr! Raaawrrr!!! I like the Tiger.
Now that I've got that lame ass line out of the way, let's talk about the majestic Tiger.
The man and I made a deal that we will not eat Dutch food while in Amsterdam. Been there done that on my previous trips…More »
14. Ludivine
Had you told me, before discovering Ludivine, there is a place in Oklahoma City that serves mostly local, organic, sustainable food in a trendy atmosphere, I'd laugh and run away from you. OKC seems to be the land of steakhouses and deep fried…More »
15. Nyonya Malasya Express

Category:
Indonesian
Neighbourhoods: Centrum, De Wallen
After walking around all day looking for the "edge" of Amsterdam, we saw a bustling restaurant while walking down Kloveniersburgwal. The bustling energy and the waiting crowds caught our eye. Normally you see a lot of tourists waiting for a beer or…More »
16. Galileo III - CLOSED
Some places are not just restaurants, they are temples of gastronomic art that make your palate experience vivid flavors. Chef Roberto Donna is a genius who makes you appreciate the art of preparing food.
When I told my good friend I am coming to DC…More »
17. Iruna
The saving grace of Phoenix! After a dismal experience at T. Cook's, we decided to find a place where people are more accepting and the food is not bland and boring. Yelp reviews steered us to Iruna. Thank you, Yelp.
It seems to me that the few trendy…More »
18. City House
The man and I have an agreement that we have to fly out for dinner at least once a month. This way nobody gets hurt :) We picked Nashville for our monthly dinner date out of Chicago. We heard about City House from a friend and decided to have…More »
19. Cochon
Do I really need to review a place that has close to 250 reviews with an average of 4 star rating? Will my review be lost in the sea of 5 star reviews? It doesn't matter, I need to spread the word.
Cochon, run by the famed chef Donald Link - a James…More »
20. El Quenepo
Our host told us about El Quenepo. Apparently, the chef used to cook for the governor of PR... interesting. We were wandering in Esparanza and decided to check it out. I believe it is one of the few high end restaurants in Vieques.
Very cute…More »
21. Stokes
We liked it enough to return for dinner the very next day.
First of all, this is not a Mexican restaurant. It is not real Tex-Mex either. It falls somewhere in the land of "fusion". Their menu is interesting and impressive. The outdoor patio is a…More »
22. El Meson De Pepe's Restaurant & Bar
Two homos wander into a Cuban restaurant, hoping to get drunk on mojitos and find some Cuban treasure... I mean Cuban bootay.
Well, that is not how it exactly went down.
Key West has some good Cuban food. The history goes way back when there were good…More »
23. Cherry Grove Pizza
Why is it that even a "not-so-great-by-NY-standards" pizza place beats the best Chicago pizza by miles? Why can't we get this stuff in Chicago? Probably because Chicagoans do not know how to make "real" pizza? (Yes, I am a deep dish and Chicago pizza…More »
24. Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N9
Canada
(604) 872-8822
I died and went to dim sum heaven.
I trekked all the way from downtown to this part of town just to eat here. I read great things and I wanted to try the various specialties. I was greeted by a lovely lady who seated me immediately. I took a quick…More »
Recently updated lists from Krsna V.
Simply the best! (15)Just like the famous diva Tina Turner's song "simply the best, better than all the rest... better than anyone" |
Capital-istic (20)Fantastic capital city. My exploits in the wonderful capital city and suburbia. |
Chicken soup for the soul (19)Entertainment comes in many forms. You wanna be a cabaret star, get emotional at a play, join a cult... I even found myself on a roadtrip! In the end it is all about "chicken soup for the soul"! |
Downtown living (10)I am a Loop dweller. I have never been happy in any other Chicago neighborhood. |
Playin' it safe (42)The 3 and 4 star ratings. It's like you are almost the best. |
Chicagoland aka suburbia (2)Not all suburbs are dreadful. I would probably visit more if there is a flight service from ORD or MDW :-) |
Adventures around NY and NJ (6)Some places I visit to escape from the depressed locales of NJ and Long Island. |
Mr. United Nations (19)Back in the day, when I was wild child, I used to be known as Mr. United Nations. Not for the food, but for the number of flags on my bed post. Now that I have grown past my wild days, I am trying to keep the title by eating through various ethnic foods. |
Brokeback Mountain (3)Yes, I went there! I went to Wyoming to become a cowboy. Failed miserably at becoming a cowboy, but enjoyed my time otherwise. |
Trips to San Diego (3)I miss my bff. |
