“Mabo Tofu and Miso Soup” Cedar Park, 2019
It doesn’t get much better than this! Especially since the miso is homemade. Mmmmm.

Yummy Dim Sum
“Dim Sum” Austin, 2019
It’s been maybe half a year since we’ve had dim sum, so I was excited to feast at New Fortune with good friends. We had most of the usual types, but what made today’s meal special is that I tried tripe, which may have been my first time. It actually was pretty good! But honestly, with so many other options available, I don’t think I will have it again, or at least order it on my own.
I like New Fortune not only because the food is delicious, but it also reminds me of the Chinese restaurants I used to eat at in Monterey Park. The restaurant is basically one huge room which can also be used for banquets or wedding receptions. It’s so typically Chinese, I love it!

Home Cooking
“Home Cooking” Cedar Park, 2019
We’re back from vacation and after a week of cruise food, it’s nice to have a home-cooked meal. I’ve missed yummy Japanese rice and miso soup!
End of the Cruise and Relaxing in Miami
“Sunrise” Miami, 2019
こんばんは。How’s it going?
We arrived at the Port of Miami early this morning and were back at my cousin’s house relaxing by 11 am. It was a bit sad to leave the ship since it meant our vacation was coming to a close, but the disembarkation was easy and also we still had a birthday celebration to attend.
So what was on the menu for the birthday? Sushi!!! ❤️🍣 Not only that, but my niece made a cake and lychee ice cream for her dad. Super-yummy!

And if that wasn’t enough, that evening we went out for drinks at Monty’s Raw Bar and Cuban food at La Carreta. My Cuban Sampler dinner was huge and I didn’t come close to finishing it. 😲 But it was delicious and so much fun to hang out with my family. It’s the best!

Austin to Miami and Jamaican Feast
“Small Plane” Austin, 2019
Today was our travel day from Austin to Miami, where we’ll spend the night before we begin our Caribbean cruise.
“Jetway” Austin, 2019
Our flight wasn’t too early, and the airport wasn’t crowded at all so the whole flight was stress-free.
“Clouds” Gulf of Mexico, 2019
Our plane was small, with just four seats per aisle, but it was very comfortable with lots of legroom so the flight seemed to go by in no time, and before we knew it, we were in the Miami humidity!
We were the first of our immediate family to arrive so we got dibs on the amazing feast that was waiting at my cousin’s house (where we would be staying).
“Boxes of Patties” Miami, 2019
Patties, curry goat, fricassee chicken, stew peas, plantain, etc. It was awesome! Everything was from Jamaica Kitchen, the BEST Jamaican food in Miami. My cousin is the owner/operator of Jamaica Kitchen, but even it wasn’t a family-owned restaurant, I’d still rave about it. It’s so delicious!
“Travelers’ Rest” Miami, 2019
Later that evening, the rest of my immediate family arrived and we continued the feast. What a wonderful day reuniting with family. Can’t wait for the rest of the trip!

Mezcal Margaritas
“Margarita Time” Cedar Park, 2019
こんばんは。How’s it going?
This evening I made enchiladas for dinner, so of course, we had to have margaritas as well. This time we had mezcal margaritas… they were smoky and delicious! Most of the recipes online use 2 parts mezcal, one part lime, and 1/2 Cointreau, but I went with 2 parts lime, 1 part each of mezcal and Cointreau and it was still yummy. I think we’d be knocked out with the other recipe… but maybe we’ll give it a try tonight. 😆

Dinner Party
“Dinner Party” Cedar Park, 2019
Mariko had some girlfriends over for dinner which is great because that always means a delicious feast will be had! Included on the menu was a classic pot roast, stuffed lotus root, Hawaiian mac salad, basic chicken, spinach salad with toasted bacon dressing, and a Japanese corn/tuna/mayo pizza.
I’m actually trying to get in shape for an upcoming cruise, but these meals aren’t helping! But it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make. 😆
