☀️🥟🇹🇭 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, from 𝘉𝘶𝘢 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘪 𝘙𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯 ( ). Finally, my first ever time I can recall posting Thai 🇹🇭food here, and glad it’s from here! Thanks to Bua Thai for hosting me to try out the menu, and a bit unfortunate I didn’t have a +1 (I’ve tried 🙃), but nonetheless, decadence and yummy food awaits! A hot, sunny Sunday, and the first thing on my mind were dumplings, and since I’ve felt like I’ve needed a reward walking 3mi here, fried. 🤤 With a refreshing Thai Iced Tea as a drink, as the sizzling hot appetizer slid onto my table, I knew I was in for a treat: the scent was aromatic, the veggies were ripe, and the presentation was executed with grace! Dumplings are one of my go to items when eating at Asian spots. A question for you, but 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘵?

🌕 🍪🍨🥛 Chocolate Chip Shake, Red velvet Nutella bomb cookies + milk, from Sweet Corner Bakeshop () . Late night cookie session anyone? 🍪☺️ Although summer’s almost officially over, it’s still a fine time to indulge in your favorite treats from this spot, and glad I’m able to share yummy indulgences from there once more after so long! Sat outdoors to have cookies, plenty of passerby’s came & went over to my table to look in awe, not only for how I’ve snapped these photos, but what I’ve ordered 😂. I’m well aware of the Red Velvet Nutella Bomb cookies (free this time btw because I buy from here often), but their milkshakes… a rich concoction of chocolate ice cream & their salted chocolate chip cookies. Glad I’ve took the time to come before they’ve closed for the evening, and hope to come back soon for more guilty pleasures! If you’ve ever been to Sweet Corner Bakeshop, what’s your favorite item on their menu? 🍪🍰 🧁

🌆🌉 Sunsets over the East River, can’t say no to that! Those days where you’ve spent 30 minutes trying to get the “best” shot possible during golden hour, and needed a break from walking 3mi from Williamsburg - Chinatown. Time invested wisely capturing the setting sun over Manhattan. Now time to scoop up some ice cream in my fav spot around LES. 🍦
