Mosaic Bar and Grille- Italian Chef Tasting Menu

The barely cooked runny yolk is meant to be popped and enjoyed along with the risotto...and enjoy I did. The golden lava coated every kernel of rice with its warm embrace and made the risotto that much more comforting.

The Cheesecake Factory (Las Vegas) - I Love Cheesecake Factory!

While in the states, one must go to The Cheesecake Factory. I absolutely love the Cheesecake Factory even though I know most of their dishes are incredibly heavy and probably over 1500 calories a dish.

That t'was me. This specific location...

Maenam (Dine Out Vancouver) - So. Impressed.

Throughout the years I've always passed by Maenam and heard great things about their Thai food. However, for whatever reason, I never made the conscious effort to really give it a try. This year during Dine Out Vancouver, I finally got to try it and I'm SOOO glad I did. Their menu is $28 and is truly a tasting menu for people who love variety. It's a little complicated because for every pair, you choose one starter, one salad, one curry,...
