Asian Flavors: Roti Shop
The roti was flaky, soft, and buttery – just the perfect texture and flavor. The rich aromatic curry sauce also differed from the norm in its hint of lemongrass.

Overall, I found the food to be satisfying. The only thing that marred my experience was the poor service and/or miscommunication. When I asked to order the Milk Pie, I was told they were still being prepared and that I would be informed once there were any updates. I asked four more times and was told there were still none. I understood completely. Until I saw four different people being served milk pies.

The New Best Gift: The Rustic Nook
This is the kind of gift that, once you receive it, you’ll know for sure that the gift giver loves you A LOT. Because I don’t think I could part with even one cookie after tasting it.

Japan 2019 Part 3: Kobe
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Kobe? If you said Bryant or Paras you’re wrong because it’s BEEF.
