New York Food Exploration (1)

Sappe 🌟 The latest Thai restaurant from the Soothr team. It was my first time trying Thai-style yakitori, which I found quite similar to the regular Japanese version, but the unique Thai-style sour and spicy sauce really made the difference. 🌊 The crispy pork belly stir-fried with wide rice noodles was a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes. The combination of eggs, wide rice noodles, and crunchy bean sprouts was already delicious, and adding the tender, fragrant, and crispy pork belly with a Thai twist was like stacking buffs. 🌟 The roasted ribs were coated with a secret sauce that had a strong Thai flavor, making them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Plus, they were generous with the portions, giving us six or seven pieces. 🌊The dessert was similar to mango sticky rice with coconut milk, but with a scoop of ice cream on top. The total bill came to $114. Benjamin Steakhouse A classic steakhouse near Bryant Park. The grilled calamari was delicious, with the squid coated in olive oil and sautéed herbs, giving it a fragrant and chewy texture. 🌟 The New York sirloin steak was a real showstopper when it arrived at the table. The portion size was incredibly generous! The steak, being a signature dish, was perfectly seared and seasoned, with a rich, smoky flavor that was enjoyable on its own. 🌊 Drizzling it with their house steak sauce made it even more palatable. The sirloin had a more robust texture compared to filet mignon. The chocolate cake was decent. The total bill came to $57. #NewYork 🌇🌟
