Sushi + Drinks = Good Times!

I couldn't figure what I wanted to do for my birthday for the longest time! I had a few ideas and just decided for Bronsen to make me sushi as his present to me. No big party, no fancy restaurant, no going out to a club/lounge..I just wanted my birthday celebration to be simple this year. A couple hours before we got home from school, he somewhat surprised me saying that a few of our UNLV friends were coming over. I was fine with that just as long as I got to eat enough sushi! I was so glad our friends came, I enjoyed my birthday way more! I want to thank my sushi chef again for making awesome sushi =)

As for where we got the sushi grade fish, we got it from Pacific Seafood in Henderson, located on 1647 W. Warm Springs Rd. The sign of the tiny store doesn't say Pacific Seafood, it says, "Fresh Seafood." I found it a bit odd, but when you look at some of the products inside the store, there are "Pacific Seafood" stickers labeled on them. Pacific Seafood mainly sells Japanese and Hawaiian products and seafood of course!

Japan Trip '16: Sushi Bar Yasuda

I had to save my best dining experience in Japan for last at Sushi Bar Yasuda ! When my husband and I entered the small, intimate restaurant, we saw Chef Yasuda standing alone at the bar. He had no facial expression (maybe he was getting into the zone?). As everyone sat down, he was preparing our foods and began talking to us in a calm, friendly manner. As the night progressed, we all were having interesting conversations with Chef Yasuda from his life back in New York (he was the former owner of Sushi Yasuda ), sushi making techniques (and secrets!), him getting to know a bit about his patrons, and so on. I had told him that we were from Las Vegas, NV and he made fun of how it was impossible to get great sushi to the desert. Well, after eating my omakase meal, I would have to agree with him! Now onto the food, if you haven't recognized him yet, Chef Naomichi Yasuda is featured in CNN's Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown episode ...

Stockholm Trip '17

Over a month ago, my husband and I embarked on our first trip to Europe!!! We were there for a couple weeks and spent our time exploring the capital cities of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The two things I found most captivating was the art, especially the architecture, and the food! Our trip started in Oslo, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark (check out the links at the end of the post for more details) and ended our Euro trip in Stockholm, Sweden: AB Café Never in my whole life did I eat pastries and drink coffee every morning until I arrived in Europe! A lot of pastries I had were hearty which left me wanting to have at least one daily. In the neighborhood near where we were staying at was AB Café . This is a small, cozy cafe where you can have a small bite to eat and drink before you start your day. Pictured below is their Key Lime Sandwich, latte, and a bullar (sweet bun). It was a nice fika ! AB Café Valborgsmässov...
