TASTY MEMORIES (BOSTON EDITION)
2021
These were food studies done as a part of Pleinairpril 2021, organized by Warrior Painters! I absolutely love looking at food (and illustrating them, and eating them...) so these were such a joy to do. I tried my best to limit these studies to 2-3 hours.
O Ya Restaurant
Had these wonderful little bites of uni on milk toast topped with Ikura and drizzled with truffle honey a couple of years ago at O ya. Pricey, but what a treat!

163 Vietnam Sandwich
The first banh mi I’ve ever had was from this little shop in Boston’s Chinatown called 163 Vietnamese Sandwiches.
It’s really easy to miss and I often walked past it without even realizing.

Coriander is gross on its own, but on this sandwich with all the other ingredients..
It balances all the flavours and becomes yum 🤤

Also, it’s only $4.50 for a massive sub!
What a good deal in the city.
Neptune Oyster
Went to Neptune Oyster for the oysters, but fell in love with the johnnycakes instead. 🤤
(Did not know what johnnycakes were, but glad I found out. 😬)

Clay Pot Café
A quaint place called Clay Pot Café in Chinatown which serves Cantonese style claypot rice -
A little different from the Singapore style that is drizzled with dark soy sauce but just as delicious.

Boston cream anything, probably -- Dark chocolate ganache and pastry cream is most possibly
the best flavor combination ever (for desserts). With a special appearance from
brown butter hazelnut crunch - my 2nd favorite flavor from them.
Bagelsaurus
I absolutely love the Hot Smoked sammich from Bagelsaurus.
A mountain of dill, crunchy pickled red cabbage, pungent red onion, cream cheese, and flakey salmon smooshed
between soft and chewy bagel with a crispy exterior. Mmmm. 🤤🤤
