ROSE HOUSE

Rose House is an elegant place to go for tea in the heart of Flushing. It has a great selection of tea, although is a little on the expensive side. The great ambiance let you forget you actually in Flushing. It's not as tense and crowded as the surrounding. 

Dinner at Saint Germain

I had dinner with few friends last night over at Saint Germain  located at 8303 3rd ave, Brooklyn. It's my first time dinning there, and probably my last. I  strongly recommended not to go. The food is beyond mediocre, and the waiters all seem had better things to do somewhere than being there to serve. First of all, they only have two choices of  appetizers. And they both basically taste the same, one word "Buttery". 

Yelp Review

Waited twenty minutes for the appetizers to come, so we asked the waiter for some more bread.
Take a look at the difference, I felt like I have committed a crime by asking for more bread. 

Ravioli Au Fromage De Chevre homemade goat cheese ravioli with a portobello mushroom and cognac cream sauce.  always need to remember "homemade" not necessary mean good, cause we all know we all have some family members that cook bad.

If you like butter, then this is your idea of food. Kinda felt bad that the snails got drown by a gallon of butter.

Bouillabaisse seafood stew with shrimp, scallops, mussels, salmon, and crab meat in a vegetable saffron broth. Two of my friends got stomachache after. Need me to say more?

Halibut Meuniere sauteed halibut in a lemon butter sauce.
$21 for two slices of paper thin fillet.  good when you on a diet,  sauce no different than those pasta sauce that you can buy in the supermarket.  

Coquilles L'Estragon sauteed scallops in a tarragon butter sauce.  look so tasty,  but inside is still raw. Although butter sauce all over,  unfortunately there's no favor inside the scallops. I was thinking perhaps they just boiled it, and put sauce on top. O well!!

Pomme Frite 
Compare to everything else, this is the best dish of the night,

Hotpot at Shell Cove

 Shell Cove  is a new Hot Pot place opened in Elmhurst. It's one of my favorite place to eat in the winter time. First of all the restaurant is clean, and the food is fresh.  I believe that's the most crucial part for a Hot Pot place. Second, the price is beyond reasonable. I can have a full belly for twenty dollars.

Dinner at Satay Malaysian Cuisine
