soul de cuba

assorted empanadas (vegetables, chicken, beef)

steamed clams

marinated chicken with flavored rice topped with black beans

i absolutely love and can not get enough of soul de cuba. i swear i visited this joint more then five times in two months and i always order the same entree. this is a must have. everything is so tasty and the chicken reminds me of chicken adobo but cuban style. the olives marinated with it gives it great flavor!

fried chicken and french fries with corn bread

full rack of ribs

i’d say this is the BEST meal in nyc. everything was soooo super tasty. french fries were awesome and the fried chicken was the best tasting chicken in the world (a bit extreme but true to my taste buds). LOVE LOVE LOVE it. when i revisit, i will eat there again!!! highly recommended!

what makes it so good one might ask? the spices, sauce, and texture!

go big or go home

(laura mercier oil-free liquid foundation, creme smooth foundation, mineral powder with 15 sph, makeup sponges, and philosophy purity cleanser)

my temptation to splurge on shopping stopped…for a brief moment. it did not help so much when i ran low on makeup essentials. really…are you serious? so here i go into sephora and out with a ton shit load of foundations. i could not walk away from my laura mercier. it was known that i haven’t shopped in sephora for quite some time so as i observed my makeup goodies, i noticed a “creme foundation” and decided after much debate to give it a try.

makeup adds up… thank god i got no breast or butt implants… or other crazy cosmetic surgery.

infamous for getting my clothes dirty. careless and always rushing, i am always headed for disaster.  why did i not buy this sooner? right when i purchased this bad boy, i wore a white top and got it dirty (on accident) but the tide to go saved my life. crazy good stuff. no joke. go get it.

well aren’t you a breath of fresh air

21 degrees north

menu made of cork

the setup

blackened ahi with mango salad and wasabi dressing

seafood medley consisting of large thick shrimps, oysters, ahi sashimi partnering with an amazing cocktail sauce and soysauce

rack of lamb with broiled vegetables and potatoes

for a special day, i searched for somewhere different and stumbled upon reviews for 21 degrees north. three reasons for the pick: name was catchy, voted as one of the top hawaii restaurants and it was on the other side of the island. since i love the long drives and never heard of this place, i immediately booked for a six o’ clock meal.

the verdict: customer service was superb and everything was great! the portions were filling and each item was flavorful as it was clean and simple. they used enough spices to get the feel.  i also enjoyed their water filled with fruits. highly recommended.

it don’t hurt…no more

da kitchen

and so we eat

fried spam musubi  (amazing)

garlic chicken (friends plate)

katsu moco (my plate)

consist of chicken katsu, hamburger steak topped with eggs and gravy which was piled over fried rice!

couldn’t finish it…

red velvet cake

Oh man oh man. where do i start? first off thank you jena and kanani for the suggestion to try out “da kitchen”. i don’t recall being in a local joint that was as classy as this place. mad props to their good service and great food. secondly, the portions feed three people per plate (no joke). overwhelmed with the portion my stomach prepared for battle. they are known for their deep fried spam so we had to try it just to say we did. already the portion was huge (i couldn’t even finish half of it).  first entree that came out was the garlic chicken. when the waitress handed the plate to my friend i was in shock. where was the rice? the entire plate was filled with chicken. already my asian eyes grew wider and i was already expecting a crazy ass katsu moco. i was right. the bowl was ridiculously large and i must say there was probably 1.5 – 2.0 lbs of food in that. it took me two more meals to finish. everything in that bowl was awesome!!! crazy.

I highly recommend this place!

super delish…

i stumbled upon this brand of chips at a house warming party and needed it so bad. so good, i highly recommend it. you can find it at down to earth or even jamba juice and whole foods. it’s healthier than regular chips and there are four flavors. bbq is my fav. go get it.

highly recommended, part 2

(Clarisonic brush and Philosophy purity facial wash)

The Clarisonic brush used with Purity is a great investment! I HIGHLY recommend it.  I normally wouldn’t recommend things in caps so this shit is seriously some good stuff.  Makes such a difference.  Use once or twice a day, makes your skin soft like a baby’s ass.  Yep, I said it.  After washing my face in the AM and PM with the brush, I slap on some la mer and I’m good to go. Brushes do need to be changed every 3-4 months.  Enjoy!
