LES Tastes

Food tasting and drink specials at LES Tastes!

1st stop: Panade for a ham&cheese puff and a vanilla cream puff – they were my first and I was also their first!


2nd stop: Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop for a spicy rizzak roll – it def was a bit spicy for me, yummy but bread was hard to chew into.


3rd Stop: Baohaus for a chairman bao pork bun – I've been here before and the store layout has changed to faster sit eat and get going place which I think is a good decision. Bun was not disappointing at ALL yet again. I remember their sesame fries were also really good the first time I went :)


4th Stop: Stuffed Artisan Cannolis for two coco loco and frangelico mini cannolis – I was actually getting a bit full from the snacking and heatwave, but this hit the spot for me, cool and yummy. Fun colors and floor decals inside.


5th stop: Yonah Schimmel Knishes for duh, a kasha knish – had no idea what the heck kasha was, maybe I should have took the owner's advice and went for the spinach instead. Store looks like it's been around for a long time though, so maybe it was just my luck!


6th stop: Tuck Shop for a mini bite of meat pie – tasted like a beef patty, very meaty and delish for the small bite they gave me.


Mission completed :) I like how the thumbs up became a thumbs down lol.

And last but not least, I walked by a Burmese Festival in the park.

Kittichai

Discovered the best brunch/lunch/dinner hotel restaurant ever! Kittichai is of decor that is simple, refreshing, and not too much at all. Awesome modern Thai. I would definitely come back for dinner and then check out the rooftop bar lounge of the Thompson Hotel someday.

I put in a request to be seated right next to the infinity pond with floating candle dishes. Fresh flowers were also dangling from the ceilings on threads, they looked so magical.

Berry something and lime something juices. This was ordered separate from the $20 lunch prefix:




Pork Tenderloin and Chicken something



And a very special Happy Birthday message on the honey banana plate :)
