Foodie Friday: Cyclo in Long Island City!

Foodie Friday is BACK!!!! 

 ( at least this week! )  

;)

This week i'm going to tell you about one of my FAVORITE meals in New York. The restaurant is called Cyclo and it's a quaint Vietnamese place in Long Island City.

I present to you the "Vermicelli Noodle Salad" with marinated tofu.

This stellar bowl is FILLED with thick, flavorful tofu, crunchy crushed peanut, fresh crisp lettuce, and thin glassy noodles. A sweet and slightly spicy dressing comes on the side, but you'll pour all it on [because it's wonderful.]

If you want a light and fresh meal, and your in the Long Island City area, i highly recommend this salad!

Foodie Friday: Neo Shanghai.

 

Happy Foodie Friday!!

The boy and I had a pretty yummy lunch last week when i visited him at work in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We went to a Chinese resturant that opened just a few months ago called "Sensation Neo Shanghai Cuisine". 

We've each gone there a few times, the first time ordering a smorgasbord of goodies. [see below!] The 'juicy pork buns' [from what i hear] and some of the best folks have had. If you look at Yelp, ask the waiters, or ask my boyfriend, they will tell you that.

::sesame veggie pancakes, veggie wonton soup, seaweed salad, and juicy pork buns::

But for those of us, who can not enjoy them, i really liked my meal above. It was light, flavorful, had nice texture, and was JUST filling enough that i was satisfied for the rest of the afternoon.

The Spain vs Romania game was also on, which was a huge plus for the boy. :)

If you're craving Chinese in Brooklyn, i would recommend this restaurant.

Happy Foodie Friday!!
