Honestly, never been a huge soup person with a few exceptions – my Maa’s tomato soup with homemade croutons, pasta fagioli (cause I’m basically half Italian growing up in Shaolin), and Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup, until I found out it’s made with chicken stock and has enough fat and sodium for a months worth of …
Ahh Chai – probably the most interpreted beverage globally (notice, I intentionally left out the “mis”). Chai is a milk-based tea drink with hints of cinnamon, clove, pepper, cardamom, and ginger.

When I think of winter in terms of food, I think about all of the wintery vegetables- squash, pumpkin, cabbage, onion, potato, …
About 2 weeks ago I went to the temporary restaurant in Bryant Park- Celsius. It was for my friend’ birthday, so I decided to wear a cute wool mini skirt and sweater. Little did I know we would be dining outside. If you’re like me, then you get cold every 2 minutes, and wear a …
