Ramen weather. Tonkotsu shoyu. I could have done with a full egg, but this really hit the spot in cold Portland after wandering around their Saturday market. They also do a "boiled" gyoza (not pictured) that screams wonton with a light broth. _ _ _ #ramen #らーめん #noodles #japanesefood #tonkotsuramen #eeeeeats #portland #oregon #portlandeats #weekendgetaway #travelgram #foodstagram #foodie #explore #wander #eat #winter #slurp #amyeats #amytravels (at Marukin Ramen) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_JFBfnGB_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qx0yhblkduyz

It's cold. It's 🌧️ and all I want is some 🍨. Throwback to Boston where I had this parfait for breakfast. #adulting Who knew cornflakes tasted so good with green tea ice cream, jelly and azuki? _ _ _ #matcha #greentea #parfait #icecream #eeeeeats #icecreamweather #foodstagram #latergram #green #dessert #breakfastofchampions #travelgram #explore #wanderlust #boston #throwback #rainydays #humpday #amyeats (at Ogawa Coffee USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqv1zI-nAFC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ibua2y3cbjeu

A happy "not-so-dirty" 30 to the birthday girl! Ate our way across town leaving empty plates, pink unicorn $$$ and endless drinks.

New menu means a visit is in order! Here we have the Broken Flower and Buddhist Palm. Hmm.. I don't know which I like better.

Being a Boba Queen is hard. You have to worry about having sufficient boba on your dress. And not taking somebody out with your straw. But everything is better when you have a squad.

Happy FRYday! May your weekend be as crispy, delicious and soul pleasing as these French fries.

Happy #nationalcheeseburgerday! While bacon is not necessary to a good burger, I am never going to turn down bacon if offered. Instead of your usual burger bun, they used a bao bun that's more common in Peking duck.

What's a better way to celebrate #readabookday than visiting a library? The Boston Public Library is split between the modern and the historical. My inner child melted when I saw this reading room.

What's up doc? This tea shop reminds me of the Boba shops in Asia's malls. The theme is absolutely adorable. There are so many new shops popping up around the Bay Area this summer?
