Japanese Dessert - Cha An



Cha-An 是我最近發現的一家日式點心店,通過小小的木製門由樓梯通往二樓,Cha-An 的優雅靜謐,能讓你暫時忘記身在繁忙的紐約大都會中。

其中一定要推薦的是她的Japanese Style three-course dessert. 十六塊美元包括三道式甜點和茶,茶的種類奇多無比,從英式紅茶,玄米茶,普爾到台灣烏龍茶樣樣不缺。Dessert更是令人讚不絕口,照片從上到下是 Ice cream and sorbat, Chocolate souffle w. raspberry sauce和green tea candy cream and chocolate cookies。Chocolate souffle是我的最愛,酥酥的巧克力皮和熱熱的巧克力醬在口中,是那種吃到會有種感動到想流淚的感覺。總之,美麗的裝潢擺設和好吃的點心,真是一場味覺和視覺的享受。她的廁所也是令人驚艷!雖然是一家很古典的點心店,卻引進最新的電腦型智慧馬桶,馬桶蓋有紅外線感應會自動開啟,馬桶座可以調節溫度(這在寒冷的紐約冬天中真是奢侈的享受呀),還有沖屁股的功能當然也沒有少。

怎麼這麼幸福呢! 紐約真是什麼都有!

Bar 89


Spring Break! Though I am a company slave and do not have spring break, I got many visitors this week! We went to bar 89 yesterday. This is a little bar located in Soho close to Mercer and Prince. This bar is famous of its transparent restroom door. The door is glassy that you can see the toilet from outside. But when you get insdie and close it, the door become blurred and white. The interior design is special as well. I like it's high ceiling and lighitng especially. The white shell-shape window always reminds me of the Sydney opera house. The red lighting projected on the wall feels like vivid sunset in front of you. Last time I come in for lunch and the bright Bar89 is all shining and clear, which has a totally different look and feel. However, the drinks are very expensive. Mojito is $9.00 and a coconutini is $10.00....what can I say.....but having fun with friends....priceless.

"Whenever I wake up
Try and take the shape of
Turn into the whole wide world I made up.

Off. The lights are golden.
Off. The lights were golden. Off.

Whenever I wake up
Try and take the shape of
Turn into the whole wide world i made up."


Has anybody seen the new commercial of Adidas-1? I saw it last week in the theater and the song is totally awesome! The melody is so sticking in my head that just can’t get rid of it. Looked up online and found that many people are discussing already. Seems that the song is made especially for the commercial and do not have full release yet. It is said that the song is by Squeak E.Clean, sang by Karen O from the yeah yeah yeah's, you can
