Maru Global turns Tokio Global

Remember my post on takoyaki from Maru Global?
If not, you can check it out here: 1st Takoyaki Place in Philly: Maru Global

For those that don't know what takoyaki is, here's a quick explanation: 
It's a popular ball-shaped dumpling that's typically filled with octopus. It originated in Japan as a street food sold by vendors, and now it can be found in Philadelphia! 

Maru Global started out at on 10th Street between Spruce and Pine, but now they've moved to Front and Lombard Street. It's not in Center City anymore, so it might be a bit harder for you to access. But there are some perks to the area! I went last night for dinner with the boyfriend and we had a great time! ;] 

Sadly, due to my low quality camera on the Ipod, I couldn't take any good pictures at night. But I'll take some next time I go when the lights are still out, and I'll post it up here.

A Day Trip to New York

Hello everyone! It's been quite hectic after co-op started for me, but I finally found some time to post!

Last month (September 2011), I had the chance to go to New York for a day trip, and here's what I was introduced to while I visited St. Marks in East Village. This particular area has lots of Japanese shops, so I was super excited to go and explore :]

1) Otafuku
236 E. 9th Street, New York, NY 10003
This place is famous for their takoyaki! They also sell yakisoba, okinomoyaki and edamane. There is no seating in the shop because it's basically a whole in the wall. The prices range from $5-8. In my opinion, it's as close as takoyaki can get in terms of street food. To learn more about what takoyaki is and how you can find it here in Philly, check out my previous blog here.

Food for Two - Hiatus

Hello everyone!

Thank you for following my blog this summer! I really appreciate all the support everyone has given me. :]

As my school term ends for the summer, I am bombarded with finals this week! After finishing my finals, I plan to take a break before coming back to this blog. I have a ton of things to sort of in my room [& life because school takes your social life away] before I start my co-op position in the Fall.

So, to my many readers! Please stay tune for new blog posts this Fall 2011!

P.S. The picture is of my sleeping black cat, David. Isn't he adorable?

Happy om nom nom-ing! :D
