USA 🇺🇸

Chewy noodles (like thick ban mian) found here, quite authentic and similar to what I’ve tried in Xi An. Many different choices so choose according to the ingredients you prefer. Worth a try if you are craving for some Chinese noodles.

Honestly the bun could be warmer but I guess if you like chunky lobster pieces, Luke’s Lobster is not too bad for a quick eat. But the Chelsea market triumphs this for me!

Seems like the to go place for morning quick take away. I was quite intimidated by the ordering system during my first ordering experience because you have to order first (and there were so many things to choose from) and then a while later, when you reach the cashier what you ordered - I misremembered some ingredients of my order and got told off😓. In any case, bagel had really good texture but play around with the many many ingredients because there are so many. Even for bagel choices, SO MANY. Noticed many just went for the everything bagel.

The pork buns were the best things in the house. Melt in your mouth pork with a fluffy bun. I felt like the ‘fusion’ ramen were just okay, not worth the long 1 hour queue, honestly have had better. Point to note, the korean styled dry ramen on the menu was a little spicy!

Just look at the texture of the scrambled eggs - beautiful and runny, everything scrambled eggs shd be. I really enjoyed this even though it’s not the usual hearty diner breakfast. Came with a generous amount of avocado and corn and no carbs at all. Finally a healthy meal for me

Bun was warm and fluffy, lobster portion is so generous. I absolutely gobbled this down two minutes. This came at 18 bucks and I think this is worth it. I complemented this with takeaway sushi which looked fresh and tasted great!

The lobster place sells steamed lobster directly imported from Maine as well and saw I couple of people having it and i guess its a good option if you enjoy the taste in its original state.

Chelsea market seems to have lots of other great dining options as well! I will be back for sure!

Tao is expensive (considering NY is the land of food trucks). Don’t expect very intense flavors (in my opinion). To me, the food is Asian but made with ‘western’ ingredients, I’m not too sure if I consider that really fusion. The two items that stood out for me was this orange chicken which tasted really like the Chinese sweet and sour pork so I would give the restaurant credit for making this so good. Also enjoyed the lobster and shrimp spring roll which was generous w the ingredients.

The place was so packed, made it difficult for conversation but it seemed like THE place to be seen/ hanging out in because I saw the place featured in Sex in the city episode lol! In short, be well dressed, enjoy yourself with a cocktail and enjoy the hip ambience the place provides.

Even though Shake Shack is gonna be here in SG soon, it is still undoubtedly part of the quintessential US experience. I can’t take beef so we had the chicken which was okay (didn’t feel it was too poorly deep-fried) but I felt that it could be juicier. The bun was the highlight, soft and fluffy. Also, remember to add the mustard in US, important for a good burger. Had the peppermint chocolate holiday shake too, sinful but refreshing!
