Life in a city is so different from life in the countryside. The town bustles with people, cars, shops, and vendors. Even the lively atmosphere flourishes so distinctly in my peaceful neighborhood. And best of all, it's always this way, day and night, especially in a metropolitan city like New York City, or NYC, which never sleeps. NYC seemed chaotic. I stepped out of Penn Station and into another universe i |

Dinner at a fancy restaurant with pals is always great unless the friends are your mom's friends. But it was fun since I had my trusty iPad by my side. It saved me from the long wait at Bacco Italian Restaurant. All fancy, and in tonight's case, Italian restaurants seem to have an extended period between dishes, so this sounded good for mom and her friend Kristine, my preschool pal Crystal's mom, who came back to PA from China |

I love spicy Chinese food. It fills me with warmth and melts away any of my worries. I could feel the spice burn the mouth with flavor. But there's a catch. Oh, yes, a huge catch.

Ten years ago, at my first-ever birthday party in my house, Auntie Hongli and Uncle Henry came over to see me along with their two little daughters, Lynna, 7, and Jennifer, 4. A decade has passed, and we can finally have a reunion back in NJ from PA. This is more about Mom than me. Can you remember anything at the age of 12 months? Heck, I don't even recall most of my kindergarten friends. |

Mexican food is known worldwide. Many places have Mexican restaurants; one of the best is Chili's Grill & Bar. Chili's is a formal dining with a variety of Mexican selections. Tonight, Mom, my little sister, and I must say, it has been a long time since we've eaten real Mexican food. The fajitas and tostadas are my favorites. The chicken and pork were roasted to perfection, the marinated veg |

Pizza is the most famous and popular food in the USA. It is so delicious and cheap that a slice of bread with tomato sauce and cheese makes a gentleman like me go nuts, and I could eat pizza all day. I experienced it at California Pizza Kitchen in Plymouth Meeting Mall today. Their simple pizza is turned into a work of art. Today's crazy, colorful pizza was the Spicy Chipotle Chicken Mexican Pizza. It consis |
