Pukk Thai

Pukk has become one of my favorite restaurants in New York. It is tasty, filling, cheap, has quick and friendly service, and has a good atmosphere. I go there at least once or twice a week. Here are some recent dishes I have ordered:

Pad See Ew with Tofu

Broad noodles and Chinese brocolli in sweet black bean sauce, $7

This dish is amazing! I love the sauce and the Chinese Brocolli.

Pad Thai with Vegetables
Rice noodles, smoked tofu, radish, bean sprout and peanut, $7

So good! This is probably my favorite dish. The portion is huge and very filling. The vegetables are good, especially the brocolli.

Pad Thai with Tofu
Rice noodles, smoked tofu, radish, bean sprout and peanut, $7

Crispy Sweet Potato
Deep fried sweet potatoes with sauce, $4

Steak Tofu
Pan seared tofu, vegetables, and peanut sauce, $9

It tastes good but the portion is kind of small. It only has two pieces of tofu.

Triple Crispy
Tofu, string beans, carrots, $7

It normally comes with garlic sauce but I hate garlic so it is replaced with peanut sauce. This dish is really good although it's pretty oily. I'm not sure why it's called Triple Crispy when the vegetables are steamed and aren't crispy.

Definitely check it Pukk, it is worth it!

Berrywild

Berrywild is my favorite place to go for dessert after eating at home. It's only a few blocks from my apartment so I go there a couple of times per week. Their frozen yogurt is tasty and inexpensive compared to other places and it's pretty filling. I usually order a small and it costs $2.70 for a good serving of yogurt. Now they are offering a mini size, "Berry Small". It's only a little smaller than the regular small but I prefer it because it's a lighter dessert option. They have two types of frozen yogurt: smooth (creamy and sweet) in chocolate, banana, coffee, and plain and icy (tart). I haven't paid much attention to the icy flavors because I cannot stand tart frozen yogurt.

Here are a couple of my orders:

Chocolate & Banana Twist



The two flavors go well together. I like that they offer them as a twist. It's really good. I like that it's different than the normal chocolate/vanilla twist.


Coffee & Banana


The flavors don't go together too well, but I order this when I can't choose which flavor I want.


Coffee


The coffee flavor is very good. It doesn't have an extremely strong coffee taste but it's still enjoyable and it's my favorite flavor.
