Alley 41, Flushing, NYC

Alley 41 just might be one of the best Chinese restaurants I have eaten in recently. Chef Jaing comes with a host of accolades having won several master chef awards and a silver in the 2013 Top Chef.

Breakfast at Centara Grand at Central World, Bangkok, Thailand

DSC04258 DSC04276

 

Centara Grand at Central World is really a tacky hotel with a great location. Attached to the mammoth Central World Mall, this hotel is a really subpar spot at a high price point. It has no service, grace or charm that one believes Thailand to have.

Fiesta Mexicana, Page, Arizona

Page, Arizona is famous for a remarkable collection of geological wonders, monuments, historical sites, slot canyons and so much more.

Finding good food in Page is a whole different story though!

Why is Fiesta Mexicana rated so highly on every online food guide???

This cheery, colorful Mexican themed restaurant looks inviting enough. We started off with really good chips and salsa and everything went downhill from there. The service is friendly but painfully slow. The food is average bordering on awful. How disappointing is all I can say.

This place is just about one step up from pulling up to the drive through window at a Taco Bell!

Please don’t eat here!

 

Here is some of what we ate:
