Baltimore | A Foodie's Journey 🦞🦀🌮🍢🍨

Last week, I went to JHU for my cousin’s graduation ceremony 🎓 and tried a bunch of Baltimore foods highly recommended by locals – and oh my, was it a delicious trip! Here’s my food diary to share with you all 😋. 1️⃣ ChoSun Hwaro Considered by locals as the best K-BBQ near Baltimore (in Ellicott City)! The restaurant has a great atmosphere, and the staff – especially the friendly servers who grilled everything for us – were amazing. The cheese steamed egg 🧀🍳 and old-school Korean lunch boxes are both visually appealing and tasty! 2️⃣ Oasis Uzbek Kebab House 🍢 Uzbek cuisine that tastes surprisingly similar to Xinjiang food! The decor alone makes you feel transported. Highly recommend the plov (hand-pulled rice), lamb chop kebabs, and grilled chicken wings 🍚🔥. 3️⃣ Thames Street Oyster Bar 🦪 A once-Michelin-recognized seafood spot! Beautiful plating and even better flavors. The scallop dish was a standout, and the oysters were incredibly fresh. 4️⃣ Blue Moon Cafe 🌓 A viral brunch spot in Baltimore! The cafe is small but oozes retro charm. Their Crab Benedict 🦀 is loaded with crab meat – super satisfying! 5️⃣ Water Song Yunnan Kitchen A lovely Yunnan restaurant with a nice vibe. You can pre-order their signature steam pot chicken – a bit pricey but special 🍲. 6️⃣ Sacré Sucré 🍰 A dessert shop I absolutely fell in love with! Their treats are both gorgeous and delicious – and not overly sweet ❤️. 7️⃣ Ceremony Coffee ☕️ A coffee shop known for its creative brews. Their iced tea is also refreshing and full of flavor! 8️⃣ Moo Moo Cows 🐮 A popular cow-themed ice cream shop with super high ratings! I especially loved the peach pie flavor 🍑🍦. Baltimore, you surprised me with your diverse and tasty food scene! If you’re around Maryland, these spots are worth the trip 🚗💨. #Maryland #Baltimore #FoodTour #TravelEats #JHU #GraduationTrip #FoodieAdventure
