Playing Catch Up – Part 1
I know it’s been nearly two months ago since my last update. Once you stop regularly updating it’s a really slippery slope to falling way behind. I’m setting myself on a schedule. Mondays and Thursday! There!
So I did check out Inoteca Di Palo. But before that I went to Rainbow Cafe (where they have sticky rice stuffed chicken wings) with my friend Joey.
I decided get something more breakfast-y and get a the breakfast meat (Spam) and eggs on rice. There’s also lettuce underneath there. It wasn’t too bad but then again it’s hard to get this wrong. We also got an order of the chicken wings and I was stuffed. Those wings are really filling. Next time I’ll have to try something I haven’t had there before. I’m thinking the curry fishballs.
Afterwards we went into the Inoteca. It’s a really nice and small shop. I didn’t get any wine though. I know even less about Italian wines and I can’t afford any.
Then wandering around a bit we dropped by Papabubble, one of my favorite candy stores, to watch them make some candy and get some sweets.

In Chinatown you’re always bound to find something you haven’t noticed or strange nearly every time. Take this coffee shop on Baxter between Canal and Hester streets.
From the looks of it it’s been around for a while but of all the years I’ve been going to Chinatown it’s only this March I came across it. But in somewhat imaginative wonder I was expecting something more than what I found inside. They don’t sell much besides random bags of chips and candy, sponge cake pastries, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Nearly everything is only 65 cents from what I remember. How are they still in business???

I went back to Pho Bang on Mott Street after a long time. I usually get the pork chop on rice but decided to get a bowl of pho since I haven’t had it in a while. I don’t remember which one this was exactly but it was good!
