My friend said I should start a food blog..

Lately, I too, have been jumping on the bandwagon of taking pictures of food I eat and places I go to eat. I like to take pictures so that I can remember the food I ate and how it tasted. So my friend said I should start a food album or food blog on Facebook, but I shot down the idea because I think I would annoy the hell out of my Facebook friends if I constantly upload pictures of food. And I don't just want to start a food blog, I want a "everything" blog, where I blog about everything? Haha. Enjoy peeps~

This is at East Japanese Restaurant on 3rd Ave, between 26th and 27th Streets. I went there on Tuesday, which was Salmon night! I LOVE SALMON! They have discounts on everything salmon that day. Monday is Tuna night for tuna lovers out there. The salmon was so fresh that day. I went again on Thursday and I have to say that the salmon is not as fresh as Tuesday, but it was still good. They serve the sushi on a conveyor belt, which you don't see a lot of on the East Coast. People on Yelp have been saying how they have plenty of those on the West Coast...yeah, okay. For us East Coasters, you don't see those around often. This place gets packed at night and at lunch time. Best time to go would be off-peak times like around 2-4pm. Like other conveyor belt sushi restaurants out there, the dishes are on color-coded plates which represents the cost of the dish. There's a handy diagram on the table. The dishes are mainly 2-3 decent-sized pieces of sushi. I think it's perfect for those who want to try different rolls and don't want to eat an entire roll of one specific roll. They don't always have everything on the menu on the conveyor belt, but you can order it from the menu. Service is pretty good--they refill your green tea ever 10-15 minutes. Today, I witnessed these two guys stuffing one of the more expensive black plates into their bag so they didn't have to pay for it.
"Yum cha," or Dimsum, at Jing Feng Restaurant on Elizabeth St. in Chinatown. Went there aound 10am and there were only senior citizens chilling there. Their food was okay. They didn't have my favorite dish though.
Salmon Maki and Spicy Tuna Maki at Ki Sushi in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. A snazzy sushi restaurant in Brooklyn. Decor was sophisticated and chic. I didn't know nice restaurants existed outside of Manhattan. This place was really good, though I did not like their spicy rolls, mainly because it had crunch in it. It kind of ruined the roll for me. I like crunch, but it just tasted weird. Their service was superb though. They helped us take our chopsticks out of the wrapper, poured our soy sauce for us, and refilled our water and tea often. It's steps away from the F train stop (Bergen St). It's also a very nice neighborhood.
