Buddakan

So on Monday night a friend and I visited Buddakan for dinner. This was my first time going and definitely not my last. A coworker of mine which also is a good friend with impeccable taste for the finer things in life suggested this to me long ago, however this is the first time we tried it. Looking on the outside you would not be able to imagine what the inside looked like. The menu is set up so that you are able to share with the whole table. Thank God it was only us two, so we were able to enjoy it a lot. It was indeed an awesome experience. 

Heights Cafe

So on Saturday, I decided to get my natural hair trimmed at SuperCuts.....grave mistake. But I digress. No pictures or anything else will be said about my experience except that last sentence. Anywho, I decided to peruse the area of Brooklyn Heights and as I was walked to get a view of the city from Brooklyn I saw gorgeous breakfast being consumed by beautiful people. So I decided to turn back and go inside. I will definitely be returning to Heights Cafe. It is nice a quaint and the food was plate licking good. I decided to get the poached egg which was what brought me in, in the first place. To be exacted, it was a poached egg with bbq pulled pork over a savory corn waffle. 

Mad Dog & Beans

A couple of co-workers and I decided to head out for lunch so we can take a break away from the office and we ended up at Mad Dog & Beans. I've been here before with other co-workers and I've always enjoyed the food. The atmosphere is pretty nice and exclusive, with dimmed lights and candle's blowing. It's is right downtown in the Financial District in Hanover Sq.

The First Bite: Turkey Balls and Broccoli

My version of beef broccoli from The Moptop Maven's outing.

 

 So as I was browsing as usual through one of my fave blogs The Moptop Maven, and lo and behold I run upon a dish that she enjoyed and I figured "Hey I can do this!" so that what I did. It was really easy since I already had turkey balls in my fridge and broccoli in the freezer. The sauce on the other hand was a bit of an improvise. I used soy sauce, tomato sauce, and barbeque sauce. And you know what? IT WAS AWESOME! Simple and delectable.

So, today me and my girl went to an Indian Buffet, since I recieved a coupon in the mail for $1off for the lunch buffet. It was my first time eating Indian food and it was pretty good. We had the curry goat, curry chicken and many other things that we could not pronounce. The atmosphere was really nice, and it was not busy, probably because of the time of day that we went. Other than that, I would definitley go again. Check out the pics below:
