An assortment of eating adventures

A couple of fun eating spots I've hit over the last few weeks:

Veniero's

Awesome italian desserts in the East Village! I think they've been around for over a century. Highly recommended: cannolis, steamed milk with almond, NY style cheesecake, black forest cake, mocha espresso cake

Super Taste Hand-Pulled Noodles


Hidden way far east in Chinatown, this gem of a noodle shop with fresh, hand-pulled noodles is always a sure bet on a cold winter night. Extremely flavorful broth and chewy, fresh noodles all combine to make this $4 bowl of noodles a perfect combo.

Super Taste
26N Eldridge Street
212-625-1198

Saint's Alp Teahouse


One of my favorite places in the East Village - bubble teas (almond and coconut are my favorites), marinated chicken wings and hard boiled soy sauce eggs and rice bowls. I'd also highly recommend the pork chop over rice bowl (a staple of snacking in Taiwan).

A day of fooding - New Malaysia Restaurant and Max Brenner (East Village)

Had a great day of fooding today - a quick recap:

Went to my favorite Malaysian restaurant of all time in the whole city - New Malaysia restaurant (Chinatown). This place is hidden in a little alleyway between Bowery and Elizabeth Street and is still always packed no matter when you go.

Filet of Flounder with green vegetables over rice ($5): (10/10)

Beef Brisket in curry + Hainanese chicken + fried egg over rice ($6) (9/10)

Saw the beautifully lit Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center:

Searched for a Wii at both the Nintendo World store as well as the Toys R Us at Times Square to no avail...

Capped the day off with some hot chocolate and chocolate pizza at the new Max Brenner's store in the East Village:
