I Want This: Ensaimadas
The best ones in Mallorca are dusted with powdered sugar and filled with cabell d'angel (angel's hair), a sweet jammy like confection made from pumpkin. Delicious!
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
I grew up with Yakult and I still love it! When I had it in Singapore, it would occasionally come with a free gift...I'm sure I have that ruler somewhere still...
My Favorite Breakfast Meat: Chinese Sausage
Love it! In fried rice, or sliced and mixed with chicken and dried shitake mushrooms and oyster sauce all on rice. Or just fried till the outside goes all golden and then sliced up. Or sliced up and fried then mixed with some vegetable.

'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
The last time I was alone, I had Spam and egg on rice! Sometimes a simple pasta. Once I made risotto for just myself - I felt like taking care of myself that day. Revuelto. Rillettes on bread. Spicy noodles. Instant noodles. It all depends on my mood really! There's usually a clearing out the fridge element to it.
French in a Flash: Spaghetti with Pistachio Pistou, Fava Beans, and Mint
Your writing really is beautiful, Kerry! I could almost picture you as a little girl with a face of fury! I'm going to go through the rest of your French in a Flash posts now - great recipes too.
What Fictional Foods Do You Wish Were Real?
There really is a Tudor drink called butterbeer!

The Making of the Momofuku Milk Bar Volcano
wow. Just...wow.
I need to go there when I'm next in New York.
Finally, a Japanese Noodle Waterslide
That is one expensive miniature waterslide. I assume there's a pump to get the water back to the top?
I want one.
One Dozen Trader Joe's Eggs, Each with a Double Yolk
Here in London, I've seen six packs of double yolk eggs (labelled on the pack) being sold. So there must be a way of checking the eggs...
'F*** Yeah, Cilantro'
Oh, and is it really genetic? My boyfriend who couldn't stand it at first now likes it!

I'm up for joining this pro-cilantro group - cilantro is fantastic!
Grocery Ninja: Crisp, Golden, Buttery Roti Prata—the Asian Croissant
And this roti prata is so different that any Indian paratha I've had at restaurants. I'm a sucker for these frozen ones...might have to make some chicken curry and eat it with roti canai this weekend! Have you seen those roti prata/canai hot dogs? Prata wrapped around a hot dog! Nice!

Five Bucks, Five Dishes, High Five? Lunch Box Buffet/Fay Da Bakery in Midtown West
5 for 5 is ridiculously good value, I think! Nothing like that here!
Coat Check Tipping in the Recession
Wait - what?! You have to pay to check a coat?! I honestly don't recall that ever happening here in London. They take our coats and they return them at the end. No financial transaction there. Wow, I learn something new everyday.
Union Square Falafel Battle: Maoz, Pita Joe, Moshe's, and Rainbow
Do you have the deep fried cauliflower at the Maozs in NY? That's my favourite thing to add!
In Videos: Hamburger Crushed by Stiletto Boots
Ugh...that's just nasty.
McDonald's Filet-O-Fish: Yea or Nay?
I say yea! It's the best of their sandwiches! And I like lots of tartar sauce!
Fresh Cevapcici from the Adriatic Meat Market
I believe the traditional accompaniments are ajvar (roasted pepper and eggplant relish) and a fresh cheese (forgot the name) and some fluffy flat bread. At least, that's what my Croatian friend told me!
For This Weather, It's Hot Pot Time At Grand Sichuan
Was just thinking that the weather is just chilly enough for hotpot! Going to make it at home though the Sichuan style is definitely available in London.
Alien Fruits and Vegetables
I've had that Kiwano melon. I found the taste to be a cross between a cucumber and a banana.
Grocery Ninja: Kaya, Coconut Egg Jam
I just eat it with a spoon. Delicious!
Dim Sum at 88 Palace in Manhattan Chinatown
Those are the scariest chicken feet I've ever seen!

On Banning Photography from Restaurants
I just got back from Corton. The website asks guests to refrain from using flash photography and cell phones. I accept that gladly. You quote Drew here as saying,
"No, we're not going to stop people from taking photos," Nieporent said. "We'd just like people to be considerate of the other people in the restaurant.""
So why, when I entered, was I told that no photography was permitted. I asked nicely and was told, "no". The host asked the chef and reiterated that it was not permissible. I explained that I would not use a flash. I explained that I would not use the photos online nor for any commercial purposes. Still, my request was refused. I feel lied to based on the website only saying that "flash photography" was not permitted and also the quote here from Drew. So Drew, why is this?
The food at Corton was good but, just like Momofuku Ko, I won't be back. I see no reason to reward restaurants who don't consider my desire for a permanent memory, valid. They can make any policies they like but I still get to chose where I dine. I also chose to deal with people who advertise honestly. Drew said that, "we're not going to stop people" but that is just what they did. That to me is deceptive.
In the interest of full disclosure, the host did comp a round of drinks for us because of this. Still, it, (please, please, pardon the pun, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Ooh, I have fond of memories of this. It was a staple in my childhood, and it was always a treat. There was always something so pleasurable about tearing off that red and silver foil cover.
I'm now in my 30s, and I've rediscovered this drink. I just decided to buy three packs when I chanced upon a vendor on our street, since it was so humid. Great decision! I am now stashing packs in my fridge. If anyone asks, I'm citing the health-probiotic thingy as my reason for drinking it :-P.
The Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Burger with Two Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Its Bun
Lettuce? Whaddya, crazy? Why? It adds nothing. Maybe some arugula (strong flavor) under the burger if you need a built-in salad, but plain old lettuce would just disappear.
But tomato in the grilled cheeses sounds good. Gotta have tomato on a cheeseburger.
I'm thinking maybe blue and swiss/Gruyère/Comté for the cheeses (one each), if not all extra-sharp cheddar. If using jalapeño cheddar (or better yet, habanero cheddar), only in one sammy, plain cheddar on the other. Otherwise the chiles will overwhelm everything else.
Bacon only if using cheddar. And not too much. Still have to taste the burger. Balance is important.

One Dozen Trader Joe's Eggs, Each with a Double Yolk
We bought a flat (20) last week from a local organic market and had the same thing happen. All 20 eggs were double yolked. It was the weirdest thing.
