 Sylvano Italian restaurant in Miami, Florida 

I found this amazing Italian restaurant near our hotel in Miami. Seriously…the food was so damn good!!  The truffle ravioli was to die for! 

If you’re in Miami and craving Italian food with great flavors, try Sylvano’s 😉 you won’t be disappointed! 

Mackerel for Breakfast

  
Best. Breakfast. Ever.

Best part about staying at the Hilton in Dubrovnik, Croatia..?  Their complimentary breakfast buffet!

I ate this both mornings 🙂 Fresh lox with cream cheese and red onions on top of a warm, fresh French roll…and the mackerel on top made it ridiculously delicious.  Seriously, get the f**k outta here! 

Damn, I miss that mackerel…that’s money! 

20 Years Already

My grandma passed away 20 years ago today. She was practically my only grandparent…both my grandfathers passed away before I was born and my paternal grandmother passed away when I was a baby.

I loved my grandma so much! And deep down inside, I know I was her favorite grandchild…because she told me I was 😉 lol

When I was a little kid, like 7 or 8 years old, my grandma would give me $1 every time the ice cream truck came by. And I would run out and chase after the ice cream man, screaming, “Wait! I need a Choco Taco!” (I swear, they’re the best!). And I would go back home with one Choco Taco and my grandma would cut it in half and we would share it. And now, every single time I eat my favorite ice cream…it is a little bittersweet.

More than anything, I wish my grandma could’ve been here longer…not necessarily for me, but for my mommy. I could never imagine living 20 years without having a mom. I bet that’s just the saddest thing ever.

I love you, 할머니 (Grandma)
Thanks for always loving me…and for all those delicious Choco Tacos ❤️

Bo Ne with Pâté

I found this Vietnamese restaurant, Mon Ami, on Yelp. They serve French-Vietnamese cuisine. Most of the Yelpers recommended the Bo Ne with pâté sauce. I love getting the pâté banh mi sandwiches so I definitely wanted to try this particular dish. It was pretty good, not bad at all!! The steak was delicious and the pâté sauce was amazing. The onions and egg on the side complimented the meat dish very well. If you’re in OC and in the mood for some good meat, try Mon Ami!
