Seamore's: My Seafood Craving

Image
Whenever I am in the mood for seafood and I don't want to go far, Seamore's is one of the places that I would go for. I've been here a couple of times and while their seafood are very fresh, some dishes were better than others. Service wise, I had better luck going during lunch compared to dinner. More details: My Yelp Review If I had to pick the dishes I liked the most, it would mostly come from the right side of the menu which consists of tacos and sandwiches.  The Crispy Tacos ($15) are one of my favorites. It contains fried dogfish, guacamole, cabbage and chipotle mayo. I love how light and thin the batter is, so you know you aren't eating just mostly the coating. The guacamole adds creaminess while the chipotle mayo gives it extra flavor since the fish is so mild. A squeeze of lime also adds freshness to it to cut some of the greasiness. Yum! The Crispy Shrimp and Squid Tacos ($15) were also super delicious. This was a special that day, but they do ha...

Doughnut Plant: Rosemary Pineapple Cake Doughnut

Image
Over the weekend my sister dropped by and when she did, she told me they had new flavors at the doughnut plant. She picked up one of the Rosemary Pineapple cake doughnuts to try. I was excited when she told me because I couldn't imagine what it would taste like. The doughnut itself is has hints of the piney rosemary flavor, along with bits of the pineapple flavor in the glaze. I personally preferred a little more rosemary flavor, while my sister felt that it was enough, so it may be a matter of preference. We both felt that the glaze was a bit sweet and that we tasted more of the sugar of the glaze than anything. I wish it had more of the pineapple flavor in the glaze even though it had pieces of it spread throughout the glaze. It was good overall, but I look forward to trying the doughseed version of this flavor. *Although they still come out with new flavors, my favorite has to be their mocha. Their mocha doughseed is amazing. A few other ones that I love are the tres lech...

Kuu: Kuu Chili Chili Ramen

Image
I was walking around the Financial District the other day, thinking about what to eat. I wasn't craving anything specific, so I decided to walk by this new ramen place that had opened up in the area. I had it bookmarked on Yelp, so I decided to just try it out since I wanted to eventually try it out anyways. I went in around 3PM and it wasn't very packed. Walking in, they had the menu displayed above the counter, along with the dinner menu on a blackboard on the side. It has a somewhat modern look mixed with a earthy type of feel. (This is just my attempt to describe the interior design.) The place itself isn't too big, probably fitting around 20 people or so, but this is the Financial District though. So I took a look at the menu. Being that I wasn't craving anything, nothing on the menu jumped out at me. They have a few small plates or appetizers, five ramen options and six donburi bowls if you don't want ramen. I decided to go for the Kuu Chili Chili Ramen ($...
