Wish Me Luck

This week I will be taking the Bar exam, so I am taking a few days off. That’s fair, right?

(P.S. this means I will soon be on the hunt for employment, so send any suggestions my way please!! Legal and non legal.)

Here are some of my favorite posts of the summer so far to keep you busy in the mean time:

Fancy Lobster Pasta

Philly’s Best New Ramen

Bulgogi, Kimchee, Cheese Fries

Asian Fusion Garden Thai & Noodle Bar Opens This Weekend

Asian Fusion Garden Thai & Noodle Bar, whose name adequately conveys its menu, is opening tomorrow. The menu is divided into two sides, one being the Chinese side with  Lan Zhou hand pulled noodles,BBQ skewers, hot pot, and smoothies, and the other side consisting of Thai food, with curries, more noodles, and chicken lunch specials. The hand pulled noodle chef was formally cooking in Chicago’s Chinatown, while another chef works on the Thai stuff. Prices are a few dollars higher than what you might find in Chinatown; hand drawn noodle soups range from $7-$10. Looking forward to seeing if its worth it!
