I stumbled across a small excerpt from my super old blog that I wrote aeons ago, when I was surfing for old posts to re-post in my other blog where I talk about being a Tokyo expat. This is what it says… My favourite breakfasts [in 2005]: Dried cranberries with warm oats Soft-boiled eggs on [...]
I told you I was on a raw vegan/vegan restaurant hunt during my trip in the US. I’ve still got a few more reviews up my sleeve, if you can believe it. Before trotting off to the American Museum of Natural History, I took myself to Columbus Ave (between 82nd and 83rd Street) to try [...]
I used to load my bentos with lots of food and would even bring two bentos with me, but I think my appetite for big portions has shrunk as I get deeper into my raw journey. I think the key is to eat nutrient dense food that may be small in size but they provide [...]
Located in Williamsburg, Rockin’ Raw was one of the best raw restaurants I went to in NYC. The food was Creole and Peruvian inspired so it was full of flavour and packed a real punch. My bestie lives in this lovely hippie corner in NYC, so we did lunch at Rockin’ Raw to fuel up [...]
Despite the fact that I ate at quite a few veggie places, I felt heavy and bloated from chowing on cooked vegetarian options at non-veggie places in New York, so one night when I was on my own, I craved a raw dinner so I went back to Caravan of Dreams (website here). I loved [...]
For those who don’t know, JLPT stands for Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Last Sunday, I made a bento for my lunch break during this grueling five-hour test. Usually the location is at a university near your neighbourhood but most campuses are in the suburbs and there are hardly any eateries or convenient stores. If there [...]
I was craving for ice cream on a chocolate brownie like no tomorrow so I set about making this popular dessert. It’s one of those “real” foods that translate very well into a raw version. Inspired by a very timely holiday dessert post on Loving Raw, I whipped up this mouth-watering combination.
I was a fan of nut-based dressings when I first went raw, but in the past few months, I have been leaning towards lighter ones with olive oil, herbs, garlic and/or ginger. One of my current faves is raw honey mustard — without the honey. I finished a bottle of manuka honey (I used a [...]
Actually I’ve been back from the US for over a week now but just wanted to drop a note to say that I’m a raw foodie at heart and there was nothing more than a homemade meal I craved. Here’s a picture of the zucchini pasta with Kirsten Suzanne’s famous Cheezy Nacho Hemp Sauce. I [...]
