@Smoofer tap in

oh s*** u in vietnamese already looks fire

i know it’s fire cause he put 3 sticks of chocolate instead of 1 or 2. that tells me he cares about us.

ima start watching for this fr

good tip

loll i was only being half serious also 3 sticks very uncommon and some of the best spots only use two sticks.

nah ima start calling out two stick pastry chefs in public, we need change

dept of culture -- north central nigerian food mainly centered arnd the state of kwara

goat pepper soup ft rodo pepper. super umami and savory, had a nice kick very yum. slightly salty for me porsonally

housemade wara cheese w obe sauce. v good the cheese hits like rly rly rly good paneer and the sauce is nicely bright. not usually a big red pepper sauce kinda gal but this was very fruity and bright

white yam (in chunks) and yellow yam porridge/asaro over smoked shrimp/crayfish sauce topped with smoked whitefish. personally didnt care for the fish on top tbh (exactly like tinned smoked mackerel) but everything else was so good. sort of funky, reminded me slightly of vietnamese mam tom, but had nice nice tomato/red bell pepper chunks that provided a ton of sweetness and brightness

the plaintain hit so good w the ice cream
rly good but mostly white ppl there which is cool but there were multiple ppl like genuinely watering at the eye over the spice level of the goat pepper soup which i wld describe as like "8 hot cheetos in" level of spice 😭 so that took me for a loop
overall rly good, never rly tried any of these dishes before

win son bakery x yunhai shop collab
pineapple cakes

the pineapple filling was rly rlly good just wish the ratio of crust to filling was better (needed more filling)
and the crust wasnt my fave texture (idk what it is it just didnt hit right). taiwan has better pineapple cakes for sure, sunny hills or dawn cakes take ur pick

adda: im 3.5/4 on the unapologetic food restaurants -- i went to the old masalawala and sons a few times but not since they moved redid the menu etc so that is the .5

bheja fry -- goat brains

chili cheese toast w ketchup

tandoori poussin (young chicken) marinated tons of ginger and yogurt but it hit so good. the ideal tandoori chicken

lucknow dum biryani / goat biryani

junglee maas / goat curry
chili amul cheese naan, garlic naan, butter naan

ive never posted drinks here but this place was fire and just opened 3 weeks ago so id recommend if ur in the area
929 in lic. vibe was ok, music i enjoyed bc old mando and canto pop, but the drinks hit. the wintermelon one is super super good, "the most familiar stranger" is rly interesting... cld b rly offputting to some but i thought it was a strong bop. had soy sauce/soy milk/maple foam, basil infused gin, sesame oil, etc etc. wacky and a weird mix of savory scents with sweet flavors but rly fun in that regard--san bei ji inspired. we got a couple other drinks and i will say the chinese cough syrup one rly tastes like chinese cough syrup so i felt kinda 😭 abt it... certainly incredibly unique tho. overall super creative menu with a lot of interesting stuff

Pick your own seafood

dutch jumbo AAA grade white asparagus (masterclass.com/articles/chef-thomas-kellers-sous-vide-white-asparagus-recipe i threw in the asparagus trimmings into the sous vide then discarded them after bc allegedly cooking it w the trimmings makes it taste more asparagusy but doubt theres a huge impact lol also i snapped these but have since decided cutting asparagus is way less wastedul),

ramps,
celery
