Magic City Flavors & Destinations
My website, Masala Eats Miami, is a serious hobby. Is serious because it involves 3 of the things I like to do most: eat, take pictures of the food eaten, and writing about the experience. This hobby requires thought and time - it’s a process. After 6 years, I have 1200 followers to whom I... Continue Reading →
This is the perfect dish to prepare for a weeknight dinner - easy, quick and delicious. I came up with this method because I love combining salmon with sweet sauces, so why not use Thai chili sweet sauce for a change? My chickens love it so now it is on our dinner rotation regularly. I... Continue Reading →
On a sunny Saturday morning, I was in a dark mood - too many things going on around me that seemed totally out of my control. I had to get out of the house, stop brooding and do something pleasant and cheap. I needed some onions and potatoes, so I knew exactly where I needed... Continue Reading →
Miss G., the little chicken and I went to the market to get some veggies and eat some Salvadorean food. Redland Market Village is about 20 minutes from where we live if I take the back roads. After living in Miami for over 30 years, it is a shame that it took me such a... Continue Reading →
Eating a pupusa was something I had to do so when we visited the Redland Market Village, we stopped by a pupuseria called La Palma, a Salvadorean restaurant. They had a big menu, serving mostly fast food, but I was mostly interested in the pupusa. What is a pupusa? According to Wikipedia, “Pupusa is a... Continue Reading →
I was so proud of my little chicken when she came up with this method of preparing a fat pasta dish. I thought that for someone who does not cook, it was quite original. We were checking out the cupboard when her eyes focused on some squid ink pasta and a jar of Alfredo Sauce.... Continue Reading →
I first visited Tacos and Tattoos back in 2015, at their first location in Kendall. My chickens and I used to go there all the time, especially on Taco Tuesdays. In a fit of nostalgia, we decided to pay them another visit only to find out that they have a new location, still close to... Continue Reading →
Dragonfly Izakaya is a modern Japanese restaurant located in Doral. It has a vast menu filled with dishes that I have always wanted to try - I was primarily after the chicken karaage - fried chicken. We headed up north - the little chicken, a new dining companion, Mister B. and I - to try... Continue Reading →
Miami Culinary Tours runs food and history tours in various locations in Miami. As a Miami resident, I have always been fascinated with Coconut Grove, so we decided to take that one this time and let me tell you - it was so much fun and absolutely incredible. We tried so many different foods from... Continue Reading →
2018 was yet another challenging year filled with a whole heap of roller-coaster moments that I was able to endure mostly because I am able to put the negative into separate compartments. I am also a genius when it comes to magical thinking- always assuming that in the end, everything will be alright or as... Continue Reading →
I am not rich, but I do enjoy going to restaurants mainly to eat, of course, and to take pictures of the food. My fascination with food photography stems from a lifetime of cookbook reading and genuine enjoyment of the culinary arts. Given my budget constraints, I make a commitment to visit one restaurant a... Continue Reading →
The little one had been obsessed with trying honeycomb for a while so when we found a place where we could get real ones, we headed in that direction, especially as it was so close to home. What we found when we entered Redland Ranch was a little paradise - a beautiful green area chock-a-block... Continue Reading →
