Yup that’s right,Amanda and I are about to head back to the motherland! Ok,so we’re both ABCs (American Born Chinese) so it’s not reeeaaally the motherland…but close enough. In the next three weeks,we’ll be blitzing through Hong Kong,Shanghai,Beijing and a handful of cities in between. Hopefully we’ll get a good sampling of the local cuisine and you can be pretty darn sure that we’ll have pictures of whatever munchies we get our paws on. Stay tuned!
Last week we celebrated our 5th year Anniversary…of dating,people,not marriage Now,we’re both huge Mario Batali fans and we’ve been wanting to come to Babbo ever since we landed in NYC. Babbo was one of his earliest restaurants in NYC and opened in 1998. Located in Greenwich Village,it’s a little cozy (read:small). Reservations have to be made 1 month in advance! Rob snagged a 5:30pm dinner res and ordered the $75 Traditional Tasting menu. This consisted of several dishes: Pi Day:the best excuse to make a ridiculous amount of pie. Kinda like how Valentine’s Day is the best excuse for gorging on chocolate For our Pi(e) Day we made three pies:Skillet Shepherd’s Pie,open-faced Apple Pie and Lemon Meringue Pie. jQuery(“document”).ready(function(){jQuery(‘#ngg-gallery-79-689′).galleryView({panel_width:600,panel_height:400,frame_width:40,frame_height:40,transition_interval:0,overlay_color:‘#222′,overlay_text_color:‘white’,caption_text_color:‘#222′,background_color:‘transparent’,border:‘none’,nav_theme:‘dark’,easing:‘easeInOutQuad’});});  |  | |
