What I used to eat and what I eat now

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 toast
Whole-grain bran cereal with [...]

Café Blossom in NYC

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 the [...]

Weekday bento

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 [...]

Rockin’ Raw with my bestie

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 [...]

Caravan of Dreams: A proper review

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 [...]

JLPT bento

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 [...]

Gaga over raw ice cream on raw brownies

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.

Raw honey mustard dressing without honey

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 [...]

I’m home

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 finally [...]
