Yes! Sunday brunch time with RCSIII!!! I was so excited about this weekly event we do together before we do some crazy physical workout moving stuff out of RCSIII's apartment. However, we were not going to do that after our brunch today! Instead, we were going to meet up with Kate & Laura and go to see Tom Hanks for the 2011 class day at Yale.

After lunch at Totto ramen, we are still in a Japanese kick today and we decided to go to a soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles) restaurant for dinner. This time, Yvette & William joined us. After we were seated, we all quickly decided to order their $30.00 prix fixe menu. The prix fixe is a great deal compare to ordered the entrée and other things separately since most soba entrée cost ~$18.00. Go for the prix fix!!!

Long time no see, NYC!!! I haven't been to the city for so long and I miss my friends and food here a lot. With my old old old friend, V from Taiwan, we  (well...actually it's she) decided to go to Totto Ramen for lunch. Most of my Taiwanese friends loves Japanese style Ramen and there are some pretty good once in NYC. So far I have been to Ippudo & Kambi (both are delicious so that I went back couple times), and it'll be my first try to Totto today.

Okay, there are not that many great restaurants in New Haven than in New York City, but this is not going to stop me from eating out and searching for good restaurants and amazing food. This time, we were celebrating Angela's birthday at this modern American restaurant at downtown New Haven. This was my second time coming here.

Almond Chocolate Checker Cookie -- 杏仁巧克力格子餅乾

匆忙之中做出,所以沒有整形的很漂亮,但是還是送給別人吃了.除了要分兩次做以外並沒有特別難的技巧,但是外型上卻大勝了.不過等的時間漫長的.幸好我很有空 (笑).
