A table with a view

My friends and I did a little sight seeing and had dinner at the 360 restaurant. It was our first time at the restaurant, and because we were so excited for this dinner, the four of us decided to dress up; I think we were a little overdressed. But,  it's not everyday we get to eat in a revolving restaurant so might as well treat it like a grand occasion, right? 

We arrived at around 5pm so we would be sure to catch the sunset (we were actually the first guests at the restaurant). Again, we were over excited and took pictures all night long. I hope the other guests weren't annoyed. 

We ordered the prix fixe menu, which was a set 3 course meal (you get to choose the dishes). I found the servings really big, but my friends all agreed that it was just enough (my stomach is smaller, I guess). And, I'm not going to lie, the bill was pricy, but it was worth it (I say to console my wallet). Watching the sky change from day to night was breathtaking and it made the food more enjoyable! Every course had a different view. You can see in the pictures how the sky gets darker from the appetizer to the dessert. Plus, the restaurant rotated all through the night, so we also got a different view of the city. 

I definitely recommend eating there at least once just for the experience. It's not everyday you get to dine in the sky. 

Marshmallow Toast

 I tried this "cafeteria" in Chinatown with two of my friends.  It didn't look like the typical Chinese restaurant (you know the ones that smell like soy sauce with the white bowls and chopsticks on the plastic covered tables). This place was very urban chic: it had exposed brick walls and industrial, vintage decor. I felt like we were in Starbucks and almost forgot we were in Chinatown until the food came. 

The food was great. We came here for dessert and there were so many good choices; I wanted to try everything. In the end we ordered marshmallow toast (it was like s'mores on bread instead of graham crackers), egg pudding (in egg shells), strawberry cheesecake (the best!), chicken knees, beef noodle soup and milk tea with tapioca. We went here after dinner, so I wasn't hungry at all, but the food was so good I couldn't stop eating, haha!!! I swear, we finished eating in less than half an hour.  I was so full! 

I'm definitely coming back here, especially for the milk tea.
