Last month, I had the pleasure of experiencing Korean fried chicken for the first time at Bon Chon Chicken in Manhattan.  For my second time, I went to Boom Boom Chicken in Fort Lee on Wednesday.  I’ve been reading the reviews about this place and I heard the chicken is comparable to that of Bon [...]

I’ve been waiting to satisfy my ramen crave for the past 2 months. This place is packed on a Saturday night and the line is almost out the door. Since I’m only a party of one, I was seated almost immediately. I enjoy eating out on my own, not that I don’t [...]

Today I had lunch at The Greek Village restaurant in Northvale, NJ. It’s a small restaurant with about ten seats, and when I was there this afternoon, it was a full house. While I love getting chicken and rice off the streetside in New York City, the chicken souvlaki platter at this place [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve taken a liking to the curry products by S&B.

When I was growing up, I ate a lot of braised beef w/ curry over white rice. It’s such a simple dish, but it’s the simplicity of the ingredients and the great flavor that makes it so enjoyable. Today, when I make a curry [...]

I remember when Whole Foods first came out with brown rice sushi. I applauded their efforts for providing consumers with a healthier alternative to white rice, but the hard texture and the nutty flavor of the brown rice didn’t pair well with the other ingredients.
I was hungry after the Coffee and Tea festival and [...]

Once in a while, my manager would bring in bagels for the team. These bagels have got to be the best bagels I have ever had. In fact, I ate three whole wheat bagels for breakfast on Friday. The texture is just right, the outside is crispy, and the inside is soft and chewy. [...]
