Halloumi, broccolini, date chutney, Midnight Baker bread. $20 NZD
Odettes Eatery, Auckland NZ
Mmm, this scramble was really delicious and I liked the fluffy texture of it. The halloumi cheese was good too, but maybe there was a bit too much of it.
Cucumber Fizz: prosecco, elderflower, apple. $16 NZD
$4 NZD
PokPok Thai Restaurant, Auckland NZ
This roti was pretty good. It was warm and buttery and I liked the slightly crispy and simultaneously chewy texture. The service on the other hand was horrible.

The olives were especially large on today’s batch of olive rounds. Yum! They were nice and juicy.

I miss these olive rounds so much now that I’ve moved to another neighborhood! These were cheap and really tasty. I just loved the salty kalamata olives tucked inside!

I like this bialy. It’s simple, but really delicious and the crunchy texture of the sides is great.
Egg, tomato, mixed herbs. $3.50
Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco
I sometimes miss living near the Arizmendi on Valencia Street. I miss the fresh baked breads and other breakfast items. It was also convenient to grab something on my way to work. Yum!
Tasting menu $87
Petit Crenn, San Francisco CA
The meal started with a plate of grilled pita bread and hummus. I liked how fresh the pita was, but would have appreciated a bit more hummus.
Watermelon dashi, sweet and spicy pickles, lime aioli, crispy rice. 5 course tasting menu $85
Le Pigeon, Portland OR
This dish was just so fresh, bright, clean, and delicious! I loved the way they made the watermelon and tuna similar in appearance. It was like a surprise to see if you got a piece of watermelon or tuna before you took a bite. Yum!
Bread and salted butter.
Served with butter. $4.99
The Old Clam House, San Francisco CA
I don’t think I’ve every had garlic bread served in a skillet before, but I liked it! I liked the nice crusted created on the bottom of the bread. And omg, this bread tasted SO good when buttered and used to scoop up the delicious cioppino sauce. Noms!
Farmanova beet, arugula, crescenza. $16
Jardiniere, San Francisco CA
I liked this salad enough, but it was more of a leafy green salad with some bread thrown in than an actual bread salad. I liked the flavors, but I felt a little misled from the menu description. Definitely wouldn’t be on my list of things I have to try before I die.

Mesibah menu $53 per person
Zahav, Philadelphia PA
If I recall correctly, the daily topping for the hummus was some sort of mushroom mixture, but I could be wrong. Regardless, I remember that it tasted amazing and I couldn’t get enough!
Laffa bread baked in wood-burning oven. Omg, this bread was out of this world! I could eat this every day for sure!
Roasted squash, curry spiced granola, toasted coconut, bacon lardons. Tasting menu $95
Volt, Frederick MD
This super was very tasty and I think the curried granola really made it special. It added a unique flavor and need texture to the velvety soup. I will admit that the curry flavor began to dominate everything else towards the end. A very good soup overall.
