La Madeleine Review

-
I had my breakfast at La Madeleine, a French restaurant founded by a French American immigrant who was longing for authentic and fresh food from his childhood in France. You can read more about this on the poster wall with a picture of him in the restaurant.
I enjoyed the fruit tarts, but I was hungry for more. I ordered (and highly recommended) the Country French Breakfast: two sunny side up eggs, bacon, a Potato Galette, and a warm buttery croissant. I loved the breakfast especially when I covered the potato galette with runny yolk! I usually dip my cinnamon raisin bread brought at Costco with orange yolk, but this tasted delicious. Even thinking about it got me wanting to go there again! I did not have to wait too long for the servers to bring my plate to my table so the service was satisfactory. Here is the picture below:

Even though this plate has simple ingredients, I was pleased after eating the meal. :) Go there and order it for yourself! What are some of your favorite restaurants/cafes to eat breakfast or brunch? (Beside IHOP)
Let me know any name of meals you love at these particular restaurants so I can order next time!

    Gaithersburg: Barking Mad Cafe is my go-to. I heard Ted Bulletin at the Crown is closing...so sad. Founding Farmers is decent.

    DC: I usually go to DC for dinner. Minibar is my personal favorite because a friend works there lol. Open City for Breakfast/Brunch. I like the atmosphere for some reason. Definitely suggest a Michelin tour whenever you can :)

    Baltimore: Miss Shirley's!!! I still go here since my school is near Baltimore.

    Chicago: Try out Wildberry pancakes & cafe...omg

    New York: Too many restaurants but Sarabeth's is decent for brunch. NOMO Kitchen is good too :) Maysville was decent.

    Have you tried Spanish cuisine? Try La Tasca at Rockville Town Square for various Tapas. They also do brunch.

    That's it from the top of my head. I haven't been to La Madeleine in ages! Which one did you go to? Some are better than others I assume.

Hello cupcakes! The weather is beautiful today! I have been inactive lately, but nonetheless I will share the pictures of delicious food I ate. I went to Washington D.C. and Annandale, Virginia. Some food are from fancy catering companies and others are from restaurants. This is coffee-flavored and strawberry shaved ice with sweet toppings. I loved it! You can buy this at the "Block" located in  4221 John Marr Dr, Annandale, VA 22003 Next I went to a Korean BBQ restaurant. It's called Kogiya Korean BBQ located in 4220-A Annandale Rd, Annandale, VA 22003 I loved the food and the sauces. The Korean restaurant gave a wide variety of choices and plenty of food for a group of 6 persons! There were a lot of leftovers afterwards, but sadly we were not allowed to bring them home.  I will write about food I tasted in Washington D.C. in the next post!

Are we dreaming or are we awake?

Hello my cupcakes! In Philosophy class, I was learning about  René Descartes. He was the father of modern Western Philosophy. He inquired whether do we exist or not? How do we know if we are dreaming or not? That got me pondering. He said that our own senses may be deceiving us or that some sort of a genius is deceiving us from the real world. I really like the Wax Example. If we imagine a wax, we presume it to be solid and yellow. But if it is placed next to a fire, its shape transforms and the smell is noted. That tells us that the senses did not tell us that the wax is capable of many changes. Back to the question: are we dreaming? How do I know that I may not be sitting here typing this paper and that I am actually sleeping somewhere else? Well, I think in a dream, we feel like we are moving in a dream-like state where everything seems so far yet so close. It is sort of like a out of body experience where you know that you are in a dream because you see yourself walking or seeing p

My thoughts after reading Beyond the Narrow Gate by Leslie T. Chang

-
I recently finished reading the non-fiction book about Leslie's mother, Mary and Mary's friends growing up during the Communist Revolution and then becoming adults in America, the land of the American Dream. Due to the division between the Nationalists and the Communists, they fled to Taiwan located near China. Leslie also included Mary's friends' families such as being sons and daughters of immigrant parents. Leslie revealed how she felt growing up in Connecticut dominated by Caucasian middle class citizens. However, Lesile was curious to how her mother felt in America unlike her homelands where beliefs and traditions differ. Thus she started interviewing Mary's friends who attended the same school for girls in Taiwan. From there, Leslie learned many perspectives from getting to know them and why her mother is determined to work dedicatedly for her family. I especially enjoyed the chapter where Leslie, her boyfriend, and her mother went to China to go sightseeing b
