For those who don't follow her on Instagram, they specialize in classic Malaysian and Malaysian/Western fusion desserts. Their menu for the Pancakes and Waffles remains pretty much constant but other items like the Kuih Sets, ice creams, and special desserts change weekly. They are also only open on weekends Friday-Sunday so make sure to time your visit accordingly. I had enquired about their Ube Mochi Kuih via Instagram before they released their menu for the week of my NYC visit, and she informed me that they did not have any plans for the Ube Mochi that week. Despite being a busy business owner, she was quick to respond which I thanked her for and told her that I will keep an eye out on her Instagram for the Ube mochi so I can plan another trip from Philly to NYC. To my pleasant surprise, the next day she messaged me again informing that they were keeping the Ube mochi on the menu that week! I was ecstatic because not only did she put it on the menu but also made sure to let me know about it! As promised, we got there around 1 PM that Friday and there were already a few people in the shop. We got the Pandan Mochi Waffle with Black Sesame Kaya, Pandan Kaya Toast Ice cream and the Kuih Set which had the Talam Pandan, Sago-Ubi Kayu and the Ube mochi! We got the outside tables under the big umbrella, and fortunately for us, the weather wasn't bad at all despite it being the middle of summer. I am not even kidding when I say everything we had was absolutely phenomenal! The Pandan Mochi Waffle was freshly prepared, warm, with the perfect chew and stretch while the Black sesame Kaya added just the perfect amount of nuttiness to the waffle. The Pandan Kaya Toast ice cream was bursting with Pandan flavor and came with a nice little Kaya toast on it. This was the best Pandan flavored ice cream I have ever had, period. The Kuih set alone was worth traveling from Philly - each of the kuihs in the Kuih set was amazing, mildly sweetened and incredibly delicious! I am extremely grateful to her for keeping the Ube mochi on the menu when I visited. She is such a kind soul, and I wish her the best and her business a lot of the success! I will make sure to visit them whenever I am in NYC, and I request anyone reading this review to please visit her if you haven't already! Their menu is perfect to sit down or take out. And don't forget to follow her on Instagram @kuihcafe for weekly drops!

No bakery excites me more than Kuih. Plenty of French boulangeries take space in this city, but do…read moreyou ever hear of a Malaysian cafe? I love southeast Asian food, so I made a point to finally check this off my list. I've heard so much about martabak on TikTok, so I was thrilled to see this dish here. I ordered the traditional, with brown sugar and crushed peanuts. The martabak was delicious! The mochi-like pancake was bouncy, the filling both salty and sweet like peanut butter. Although, because of the filling, the overall bite was a bit try. I think a sauce, like caramel or condensed milk, would add some moisture to it. I certainly want to return here, perhaps to try other desserts, like the pandan pancake with butter and caramel. That sounds divine.

Everything is already prepared and laid out, so you simply point to what catches your eye and they serve it up on small plates, kind of like a casual, self guided dim sum experience. At $5.99 per plate, it feels like a good deal at first, especially since you can mix and match and try a little bit of everything. I ended up grabbing a nice variety, and it was fun tasting different dishes in one sitting. My favorites were definitely the braised pork belly (rich and flavorful), the fish and the tomato with eggs, which was simple but really satisfying. There's plenty of seating if you want to dine in, but it's also super convenient for takeout. The only thing to keep in mind is that while each plate is inexpensive, it's easy to lose track and have the bill add up quickly. Overall, a solid choice for quick, tasty Chinese comfort food with lots of variety.

The Yelp listing says Harper's Bakery has been renamed Ohayo Bakery... but Bakery Onigiri is what the large sign over the door proclaims. Hmm.... Of course we had to do a quality control check and tried our usual onigiri / omusubi + some egg custard tarts / dan tat. All was in order -- and in fact, the egg custard tarts were still warm when we brought them home. The pastry crust was awesomely flakey, the filling reasonably rich with yolk and not too sweet. There are better egg custard tarts in Manhattan's Chinatown, but Bakery Onigiri / Ohayo bakery's versions aren't bad at all, especially considering that incessant Trumpflation still hasn't impacted pricing. Amazing!

There are signs that say you can't be in the space fore greater than 30 minutes. It's standing room only so it's not comfortable to linger. I grab my snacks and enjoyed them outside.

I got their Japanese Fried Chicken, Karaage with Garlic Chili Oil and it was so delicious! The chicken was marinated to perfection, flavorful and the garlic chili oil gave a spicy kick to the Onigirazu. They make as you order so you know you are always getting freshly prepared food! The auntie preparing the order was so sweet. There is no seating inside and just one bench outside so prepare to take out and eat somewhere else. I actually took it back home and warmed it up in the microwave by wrapping it in a wet paper towel and it was as good as eating on the spot.

Since it was delivery, I cannot say anything about the restaurant itself (service, decoration, vibe etc), I can only comment on the food. I tried the goma shoyu tuna and others went with the negitoro don tartare and sichuan chili salmon. The feedback overall was it was too expensive for the portion size. The portion wasn't small, but it certainly wasn't big. We were all still a little hungry after eating our bowls. Regarding my order, the goma shoyu tuna, the fish was good, but not great and for my bowl at least, I felt it was lacking in flavor. I did not taste any chili oil and the only real flavor present in the dish came from the seaweed salad. Chikarashi does not allow you to make your own poke bowl, which I feel is unfortunate. I usually like to get both tuna and salmon and add a bunch of toppings/ingredients and that is not an option for any of their bowls.

They also got dim sum dishes like vegan dim sum, chicken curry buns, and spring rolls that are $5.50 to $6. It is pretty decent pricing in my opinion. But the worthiest dishes are still the char siu and chicken leg that no other dish can beat when it comes to pricing and the portion of the dish. The chicken leg I got today was very tasty and was cut into 3 parts with rice and cooked cabbage. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was barbecued and somewhat sweet. It came with soy sauce and hot chili sauce with chili flakes. I kept using the hot sauce because it was so addicting. It made the chicken so good! The place itself is really small with high bar seats that can seat 2 people on one side of the restaurant. There's also a bench by the entrance for people to sit and wait for their orders. Other than that it is not really convenient for large groups. It's best if you grab your to go. There's a self kiosk to place your order. There's also a convenience fee if you use your credit card.

Although not a newbie to the Chinese BBQ skewer concept, I was delighted to have my first of…read moreexperience of authentic Chinese skewers in NYC be at Foodie BBQ. Replacing the former Shanxia Snacks, which recently relocated to a spot on East Broadway, Foodie BBQ has kept the same general restaurant layout, but enhanced the interior decor with eye-catching prints of calligraphy, mostly related to food and eating, along the walls, and hanging lanterns of napkin dispensers. Otherwise, the furniture looked the same in its white basic functional aesthetic. We ordered through a QR code. Grilled fresh to order, the food came out relatively quickly. We were able to add in the comments section to make certain skewers non-spicy for our kids. Otherwise, the default included quite a lot of spiciness. My favorites were the lotus root, cauliflower, eggplant, and potato. My kids loved the chicken and mantou. The corn consisted of a bunch of kernels--not a lot of substance there. We spent over $35 pre-tax and pre-tip on a variety of meat, vegetable, and starch skewers for two adults and two toddlers, and I would say it was just enough to satiate all of us. I appreciated that there was a little self-serve area with water and pu-er tea, although the water jugs were usually empty. Service was good and quick, and the bathroom was clean. Overall, I'm thrilled that Foodie BBQ has added to the Chinese culinary diversity in our Manhattan Chinatown. I don't think there is another such BBQ skewer-focused specialist with a storefront in this neighborhood.

Note: portions for this one are especially small since well...it's finger meat. - Pineapple Beef: I do like pineapple but wouldn't order this again. - Chicken Skin - Sliced Potato - Lotus Root - Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Wings - Intestines: I think we got pork, not chicken - Zucchini - Chicken Feet in Baked Chili Pepper sauce: Really enjoyed the marinade flavor - Sugarcane Juice We ended up ordering way too much and had to box some items to go.
