Greetings dear faithful readers of FoodieFixation. It’s been a while. In fact, it’s been two months since my last post. I have been busy with work and I was infected with the L disease. L for Love? Not quite, but L for lazy for sure. You can’t blame me for getting the [...]

I wrote this while I was dining at Ippudo NY on Saturday between 5:30pm and 6:30pm.
It’s hard to imagine a ramen lover like me took so long to finally come to the much heralded Ippudo NY. Well, here I am, waiting for my food to come. This place is where the ramen is [...]

Yesterday was my last day at work. I’m sad to leave, but I’m excited to start my new job next week. My manager and the rest of the team took me out to lunch and I realized that it was the last time we would be sitting together and joking around the dining [...]

A surprise birthday party was thrown for a friend of mine on Saturday night. I think he had a minor heart attack when we all yelled surprise right after he turned on the lights. The birthday cake was the three-layer 9-inch Red Velvet cake from the well-known Magnolia Bakery in New York [...]

On Friday, I went to lunch with my coworkers to Don Pepe Restaurant in Newark, New Jersey. Newark is home to some great Spanish, Latin American, and Portuguese food, especially in the Ironbound District. I have yet to visit the Ironbound District, but I will be making my way down there probably sometime [...]

Feeling that I should give the SO Delicious a second chance, [...]

My friend had her birthday dinner at Supper on Friday. It’s located on 156 E. Second Street between Avenue A and B in Lower Manhattan.
Upon passing through the doors, you’ll have to make your way through the heavy drapes. Once inside, you’ll immediately notice the dimly lit interior, the tight space and [...]
