Musings of a Glutton

Hello all!

It's been a while since I've posted. I've decided to make this blog permanently into my food blog. If there is one thing I love most in the world, it's food. So this summer, I decided to take advantage of this beautiful city I live in, New York City, and explore.

Today I went to this Israeli restaurant called Hoosmoos Asli near the 6 train Spring Street stop. It's cheap, and very tasty.


Freshly Made Iced Mint Tea
Perfect for the ridiculous heat yesterday. =]

Tyler's Moroccan Hoosmoos and my Jerusalem Mixed Grill Sandwich
Both were spicy and delicious. At first, we were apprehensive about how full we would be from ordering so little. Turns out, both the hoosmoos and pita sandwich were VERY filling. Very good restaurant. The only problem I had was with the plentiful tomatoes I got with my sandwich. Nevertheless, I'd definitely go back. =]

Today, I went to meet Johnny, Viv, Lee (T_T SORRY I LUV U), Anya, Sarah, and Cece. For lunch, we had Japanese food! I wasn't particularly hungry so I settled for a grilled tuna onigiri and seaweed onigiri.


Grilled Tuna and Seaweed Onigiri
Not sure why I picked the seaweed onigiri, but the grilled tuna with mayo was delicious!! The packaging was kind of funny, and it took me a while to figure out how to roll the rice in the seaweed sheet because the instructions were in JAPANESE. My wifey helped me, and wa-la! Onigiri! It was very good! Don't know what the address of this place was, but it was on a street close to the NY Public Library. I think the street is called Library Way.

We then went to Alice's Tea Cup, a tea shop that emulated Alice in Wonderland. IT WAS SO CUTE and the scones were SO GOOD!! It's a little bit girly, but that's okay. Everyone can join the tea party! :]
Peach and Flower Tea
Mmm...very fruity. I liked it a lot.

My Chocolate Coconut Scone and Ham and Cheese Scone
OMG. These SCONES WERE DELICIOUS. They were warm and fluffy and very filling. I never wanted to stop eating. And I have to say, clotted cream and jam on the Chocolate Coconut scone makes it even better!

I think Johnny agreed with me. He had four helpings of clotted cream and jam. He's so lucky he doesn't gain any weight from eating...
