Ashley loves seafood, especially oysters and shrimp.  So for her birthday, I took her along with Emery to “Fish” a great but reasonable seafood and raw bar in the West Village.  I excused myself from work early so we could avoid the crowds and we took a little family trip.  The restaurant was great, awesome [...]

In December 2009, I officially incorporated my company, FiberScrumptious, Inc.  The goal of this company will be to sell high-fiber healthy muffins based on distribution to different health food stores, and hopefully, even to Costco one day.  My product is mainly about promoting the health benefits of consuming fiber on a regular basis and incorporating [...]

Numerous people have told us about Del Frisco and that it has one of the best steaks in the city.  We live right up street from it and have passed it countless times over the past year.  We finally decided to see what the hype was all about….
We got some crab cakes and shrimp cocktail [...]

Ray and I have yet to take our honeymoon.  But we decided that we’ll at least take a babymoon! We wanted to do a little traveling before our little one arrives. Although it’s still months and months away, it feels like time in closing up on us for the next… 18 years, at least! [...]

Ray and I started off celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary by waking up very early in the morning and going to our building rooftop to enjoy the view. We established a little tradition that on our anniversary, we would watch the sunrise, get some coffee and and just savor the moment. This year, we went [...]

Ashley and I love turkey.  Every year we look forward to getting a big one and having lots of good times and left overs.  This Thanksgiving, we had some friends Abee, Marianella, and Abbey over for a nice family style sit down meal.  It was nice to have everyone over again this year as we [...]

In Mid October, Ash and I went back home to visit my parents in Newton, this time we went together and stayed there for a week!  Since we were there for a week, we had the opportunity to do a lot more things than usual, spending a whole day in downtown Boston enjoying the city.  [...]

Thought I’d steal Ashley’s post title from the one she used for my birthday, she’s so dramatic! hehehe
So, we did have a lot of fun on my huney’s birthday.  She was worried I didn’t have anything planned but hey come on, that’s  what I do all day.  Here’s some pics of the weekend.  It wasn’t [...]

This past weekend, I went home to Boston to spend some time with Mom. It’s always so nice to go back, my parents treat me like a king and feel like I am in college again. Taking the train from the airport back to Newton reminded me of how different Atlanta is [...]

After Bean left on the New Years eve, Ash, the dogs and I drove to New Orleans. It was our first time there and we, (especially Ash) went there with great hopes that Hawaii would win the Sugar Bowl against University of Georgia. It was an important game for Hawaii as it was [...]

For our third day of Bean’s stay he started out with the traditional morning XBOX therapy. Sounds of machine guns and virtual people dying filled the air as usual when Bean stays with us. Mom and Dad, here’s why Bean loves coming over oh so much. Notice the zombie look…

Today we stayed [...]

At last Bean is here to visit us.  He came in on the evening of Christmas and brought with him many gifts from my parents mostly in the form of delicious Mrs. Peng’s food!  He had a long flight from Boston taking him to Chicago first before arriving in Atlanta.  These plane routes are ridiculous!  [...]

After all the hype from locals, Ash and I went to MF Sushi in Midtown Atlanta. MF Sushi is definitely a more traditional yet high end sushi bar. The ambiance was dark and hip, however the service was average. The sushi was very expensive. Overall the food was good but very [...]

Ash and I love the beautiful displays they have a whole foods.  I was able to snap a few pictures before someone told me it was not allowed.  I don’t know what the art form of food photography is but I am calling myself a Foodographer. 

So I have become more and more obsessed with taking pictures of food.  Today Ash and I went to Hong Kong Harbor in Atlanta for Sunday Dim Sum.  The dim sum was actually pretty bad so we wouldn’t recommend going there but the pictures came out great!

Ashley and I celebrated our first Thanksgiving here in Atlanta with a feast my mom would be proud of. The spread was a 19 lb turkey with Mrs. Peng’s classic stuffing and gravy, onion and garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, candied yams, biscuits, corn and a dessert of apple and strawberry rhubarb pie.
We invited a [...]

Ashley and I battered some chicken breast, pan fried them and created something that Quan’s Kitchen would be proud to serve!

I doubt anyone knows it but the title of this post comes from “Oliver!”, the movie musical adaptation of Oliver Twist filmed in 1968, directed by Carol Reed.  The move opens with the orphans singing this catchy tune.  Anyways, enough about that… I have been getting more and more into photography.  Food photography is especially [...]
