A visit to Morgenstern's was a must after checking out Mr Taka before volleyball on Thursday. Their chocolate sorbet is killer. Also got my fave mint chip + new flavor hawaij. Mr Taka was good - unctuous pork belly. #foodporn #eeeeeats #ramen #nyc #lowereastside #icecream #mrtaka #japanesefood (at Mr. Taka Ramen)

It's hard to eat this kind of food solo. Very good Lao food at Thip Khao - similar to Northern Thai food I've had but funkier (in a good way). Sai oua, oob bae (goat stew), tam muk houng phet phet (super spicy papaya salad) #lao #laofood #dc #washingtondc #thipkhao #foodporn #eeeeeats (at Thip Khao by Chef Seng)

I just spent $140 on 2 5kg bags of this Niigata Koshihikari rice at Sunrise Mart. I'm told it would be around $30/bag in Japan. #rice #nyc #sunrisemart #red #japanese (at Sunrise Mart East Village)

Homegrown cafe w/ great presentation and careful preparation. Like most BKK coffee it's on the dark side for me but one of the better shops I've visited. #cafe #coffee #bangkok #bkk #thailand #espresso #bangkokcoffee #factorycafe #pl (at Factory Cafe & Brew Bar)
