Yikes! $2 for a slider — nearly $6 for 3. That hefty price comes with no cheese. I’m a fan of Food and Wines’ Best New Chef Bryan Caswell’s seafood restaurant Reef. When he opened Lil’ Bigs I wanted to love it too. The restaurant is located in the former home of Ming’s [...]

Whenever we have a guest over for dinner, I always find myself struggling to come up with at least one new dish inspired by that person. For me creating a signature dish for that person becomes my gift to them. Recently we had a friend from Thailand come for dinner, and as usual I was [...]

Spicy Pickle serves paninis, subs, pizzettis, soups, salads and other standard fare accompanied by the eponymous spicy pickle. For those looking to save money under their “PickleNomics” section of the menu, they offer “Build Your Own” sub or panini, or the “Double Dilly-O.”

I am not a big fan of lamb. Though I’ve tried it so many ways and have felt a little uncultured in not liking it, I don’t seem to have a taste for it. Now, I love gyros — but I guess since it’s mixed with beef and is supremely salty that doesn’t count. Or [...]

I love the taste of ube-macapuno, the Filipino sweet potato with young sweet green coconut. Problem is, it’s hard to find ube here. I became obsessed with ube and it purple colour right after trying a Goldilock’s ube cooler; a drink which is sort of a sweet smoothie but not as thick. Ube is purple [...]

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to review Catalan — it’s one my favourite restaurants in Houston and I’ve been there numerous times. I think it is because each time I go there I feel like there is so much to the restaurant for me to get to know. On my recent [...]

I cannot believe we missed our 9.00 am flight back to Houston on Christmas Eve. Still in the holiday mood, I figured our loss was someone else’s gain. The next 3 flights were oversold so we got confirmed on the 6.30 p.m. flight back to Houston. The past week in Orlando was great — 3 days [...]

I decided to try my hand at Brennan’s Cashew Carrot torte, which is described as a grown-up carrot cake. In my Brennan’s cookbook I found the ingredients to be fairly accurate, however the book has been short on instructions and technique. Reading through the cake recipe I realized that if you have not made a cake [...]

We were looking for a fun and tasty Saturday baking adventure for our 3 year old. It had to be something quick since snack time was upon us. Muffins are easy and force you to be quick since once the dry ingredients are wet you need to get everything in the oven within 30 minutes. I am [...]

We’ve been waiting for the opening of the Houston outpost of the California restaurant, Straits, for a while so we were exited to be going there. It’s located at the bottom of a hotel in front of a grassy courtyard, so good location and nice frontage. The restaurant has a nice concept. It is part lounge, [...]
