Restaurants I Like

Last Updated:

I love to try out new places to eat, and I wanted to share them here.
This page is incomplete and I will fill it in time, and keep coming back to it.
Personally, I love fusion places or authentic places but usually am not a fan of non-fusion but just americanized places. I also mostly eat vegetarian + chicken (other than pork in dumplings), so you’d not see popular places that are known for stuff like steak or sushi.
And I am looking forward to suggestions, so tell me what you ♥️ in these cities.
