hey friend!

I'm Sandy. Food fanatic. Aspiring Blogger. Dog mama to a Maltipoo named Saké (yup like the booze). NYC dweller. Wine lover. Saké drinker. Bourbon sipper. I have an unapologetic weakness for Starbucks Caramel Macchiatos (with extra whipped cream please), fluffy doughnuts, and double fried french fries with mayo, never ketchup. I love a perfectly juicy Shake Shack burger when I'm too tired to cook, or a slurp-worthy bowl of ramen, and would never turn down a generous shaving of fresh truffles, one of my favorite splurge worthy indulgences.

People say we eat with our eyes first, and that our visual perception affects our sense of smell and taste... so I hope my food photos will inspire you. Inspire you to feast with your eyes first, and then seek out the foods you enjoy (perhapse even new ones too) and truly savor-every-bite.

NEMESIS: A Worthy Midtown Rival for Chinatown

Chef Tanrantana | ASIAN FOOD

City: New York City. 30 E 20th St, New York, NY 10003

BITE WORTHY | REVIEW | NEW YORK

Nemesis is a newly opened restaurant for Southeast Asian food, helmed by Chef Tanrantana who worked at both Morimoto and Momosan. If you’re looking for some delicious twists on familiar favorites, that’s not in chinatown, then this spot in the Flatiron area is worth a visit.

At Nemesis, everything is more elevated… the food, the cocktails, along with the decor and vibe. Although this place is best for sharing lots of dishes family style, I could go back to Nemesis for the Nasi Goring… just to get one all to myself. No sharing needed on that dish. Chef Tanrantana does a fantastic job of making that simple dish very crave worthy!

Yum Yum Salad

Kale Greens & Seasonal Fruits. Peanuts. Fried Shallots. Yum Dressing Nemesis.

*really was yum-yum!

Prawn Lumpia

Pork stuffed jumbo Tiger Prawn-Spring roll. Spiced Banana Ketchup Nemesis.

*A take on a Filipino classic, this dish features pork-stuffed tiger shrimp, wrapped in a delicate spring roll wrapper. Served over a bed of house-spiced banana ketchup, it combines sea and earth flavors.

Spiced Corn Ribs

Flash-fried riblets. Burnt Chili. Tamarind glaze. Cilantro.

*The reason they’re called corn ribs is because they curl up when they get hot and look similar to meat ribs! We’ll probably never know who first came up with this idea, but most sources point to Max Ng of the restaurant Momofuku Ssäm Bar as the creator of corn ribs as we know them.

Foodies and chefs worldwide quickly caught on, and soon corn rib recipes were showing up all over social media. At Nemesis, Chef Tanrantana fries up these corn ribs and coats it with a delicious tamarind glaze. If you like heat, the bunt chili adds a kick. For me, I had them leave it on the side, and I enjoyed it just as much.
