“Thai Food At It’s Best”
I’m a big South East Asian food fan, and also very picky when it comes to Thai Food. but my good friend Adam had recommended Ayara Thai Cuisine and highly suggested I go out to Westchester and try them out. So I did and now I’m a big fan.
I was honored to be able to have dinner with Owner/Chef
Vanda Asapahu and she had prepared and amazing dinner. From Muay Thai wings, Spicy Seafood Soup, Drunken Noodles, Chu-Chee Salmon and more. A few weeks later I went back for seconds, had to try the Crying Tiger, Papaya Pok Pok, Crazy fish, and Kana Moo Krob.
If you are a fan like I am and can’t get enough of their homemade sauces for their appetizers and entree’s they do have their own line of sauces that you can purchase from their website. www.ayarathaicuisine.com
It’s a very comforting atmosphere, the staff is amazing, and you can taste the love and passion they put into their food. If I lived closer I would be there everyday.
You gotta go, no doubt about that. I give it 10 chef knives!

“Chee-burrrgerrr, Chee-burrrgerr ,Chee-burrrgerr!”
G-Burgers is located in La Habra, Ca. I’m always looking for a place that serves a great burger, especially a gourmet burger. For all the locals forget about going to Red Robin, and Islands, I highly suggest GBurger for your gourmet burger needs. The staff is awesome, helpful, and service is amazing. Everything is freshly made with high quality ingredients including Angus Beef. I had the White Truffle Burger and added bacon and a sunny side up egg to it,. It’s a simple menu with affordable prices. I give it 8 chef knives!

Two Ingredient Flourless Nutella cake
Prep Time: 10 minsCook Time: 25 minsTotal Time: 35 mins
ingredients:
4 large or extra large eggs8 1/2 ounces Nutella (weigh this out on a scale)
directions:
1. Grease a 6 or 7 inch round springform pan. Then line with parchment paper on sides and on bottom. (One of the cakes I made, I simply sprayed pan but it still sticks, so it is best to line with parchment paper. By spraying with oil first, the parchment paper stick ons better.) Preheat oven to 350F. Beat eggs on highest speed with stand mixer until about triple in volume, about 6 minutes. The egg consistency is the key to making this recipe work, so don’t try to save time on this step. Eggs must be beaten until triple in volume as that is what creates the cake.2. Measure out Nutella into a glass bowl. Microwave Nutella for about 20 seconds to make it softer. Add in 1/3 of the egg mixture. Gently stir with a spatula in the same clockwise direction until all of the egg is mixed in and no streaks remain. Then add another 1/3 of egg mixture and fold again until no egg streaks remain. Pour in remaining third and make sure to scrape the foam that sticks to the mixing bowl into the batter and stir until no streaks remain. Make sure to do this in 3 batches because otherwise the whipped eggs may lose too much of the air that has been whipped into them if you try to do it all at once.3. Pour batter into springfoam pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until knife inserted comes out clean. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan and cutting and serving. #nutella #desserts #theregoesyourdiet
