mitziemee.com Did you know about the wine windows in Florence? They first popped up back in the 1500s, as a way for local producers to sell wine directly to customers. Some of them are still in use today. Place your order and wait for a glass of wine to appear through the wall This is one of the nicest ways to enjoy a glass of wine in Florence.

mitziemee.com We went for brunch at Smør in East Village and it felt like we were having brunch at a cafe in Copenhagen. I had the smørrebrød with Danish pickled herring and it was delicious. In Denmark, the herring is pickled in a vinegar-based brine with sugar, onions, and spices, giving it a sharper acidity that pairs perfectly with Danish sourdough rye bread and Snaps (Danish aquavit), but unfortunately, the latter isn't on the menu at Smør:) I also had a Danish hotdog, complete with remoulade, fried onion, pickled cucumber slices and all. #nycblog #danishfood #brunch

mitziemee.com Hong Kong style breakfast. Nearby the hotel in Hong Kong was a really nice cafe, Cross Cafe. I went there for breakfast and had a set menu with macaroni soup with ham (or spam), toast and scrambled eggs. Macaroni soup is a popular Hong Kong breakfast dish, and yes, it tastes a lot better than it looks.

mitziemee.com This is the canelé at K2 in Stavanger. The canelé has been on the menu ever since the restaurant opened. Instead of rum and cow’s milk, the canelé is made with aquavit and goat milk and it has a filling of rich brunost caramel, providing the canelé with a distinct Norwegian touch. I’m usually not a big fan of brunost. Tbh. I try to avoid it by all means, but in this little pastry, it just works. Definitely one of the most interesting bites I had that night! #norwayfood #canele #browncheese

mitziemee.com I was invited to try Matcha Cafe Maiko. The branch in Chinatown NYC is tiny but cute. We had the matcha banana pudding, the strawberry matcha latte and the milo soft serve. You could choose the level of sweetness, and I chose less sweet which was just right for me. Both Tina and I loved the banana pudding. The banana-matcha combo was surprisingly delicious and not too sweet. We also had the Milo soft serve. Is it just me or are Milo desserts everywhere now? The soft serve was ok but I’m not a huge fan. If you go, I’d recommend sticking to the matcha desserts because that’s where Maiko really shines. #matchacafe #nycfood #nycblog

mitziemee.com Kajiken is a Japanese restaurant chain specializing in Abura Soba, which is probably best described as soupless ramen. Instead of soup, there’s a rich, umami-packed sauce in the bottom of the bowl. Want to tweak the flavors? Go for it. There’s vinegar for a little tang, chili oil if you like it spicy, and fried garlic because… well, fried garlic. The key to making it perfect is to mix, mix, mix. Before digging in, make sure that every noodle is covered in sauce. #noodles #aburasoba #nycfood #nycblog

mitziemee.com Kalix Löjrom (vendace roe) is one of very few Swedish products with PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status. Kalix Löjrom and Chips was trending a couple of years ago, and it has developed into a true modern classic. It’s such an indulgent snack, so when I saw it on the menu at Seid, I just had to order it. So delicious!

Ingredients 1-2 ripe bananas 1⁄4 cup honey juice from 2 limes A pinch of salt (a pinch of sugar if you want sweeter flavor) 2 cups water ice Directions Boil the bananas until they’re soft. It will typically take around 10 minutes. Scoop out the cooked banana and place it in a blender. Add honey, salt, lime juice, ice (and sugar). Blend for 15-20 seconds. Serve in 1 big glass with a refill, or two small glasses. #bananajuice #juicerecipe

mitziemee.com I love the hot and sour taste of a good tom yum soup, and the one at Pe Aor is one of the best you’ll find in Bangkok and probably in the entire world if you ask me. In front of the restaurant, there’s a big, simmering pot of tom yum broth. This is the open-air kitchen, and this is where the food is made. The signature dish at the restaurant is the lobster tom yum, which is a big bowl loaded with lobster, other kinds of seafood, and egg. It’s delicious, and there’s more than enough for two people to share. #tomyum #lovster #bangkok
