E-Jo Korean Restaurant

After watching a whole series of a Korean show, I was craving Korean food (people were eating in every episode!). I decided to go to E-Jo Korean Restaurant mainly because of its location near Downtown.

A small menu compared to other Korean restaurants I've been to

I wish I could translate this...

We were given small dishes (banchan) to accompany our meals:
kimchi, which are fermented vegetables and Korea's
national dish, scissors to cut them, and green chili peppers (not spicy).

The wall showcasing some of their signature soups
including The Hangover Soup! I wonder if it really helps...

The Hand-Made Noodle Soup- this soup had a subtle taste (there were spices on
the side to add to more to my liking) and the noodles were soft.
This was definitely a comfort food to me!

This Korean pancake had a lot of vegetables
inside and I liked the sauce that accompanied it.
I recommend eating this if you enjoy
eating fried foods!

My craving for Korean food was finally satisfied and I look forward to trying their other soups next time!

Gelato Messina

At the new Downtown Summerlin shopping plaza, fantastic shops and restaurants are opening up including a new gelato eatery named Gelato Messina . What stands out about this gelato shop is that this is their first US location (they are based in Australia ) and they make their gelato from scratch using only the finest ingredients. I guarantee that if you stop by and sample their gelato, your eyes will POP in amazement like mines did! Gelato Messina adorns their interior with bright colors and loud artwork, reflective of their passion for making vibrant and creative flavors of gelato There's coffee, lattes, and more drinks to accompany the desserts Cremino - Salted caramel gelato and crushed amaretti biscuits with soft meringue and Nutella Inside the Cremino - all the flavors layered and folded throughout this decadent dessert :) Delish!

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 ...
