Part One
So full of wonders is New York City that I’m already on my third post… and I only spent three days there! How many posts would I have to write if I’d spent a week?! Part One of the NYC Posts detailed my culinary adventures with my dad at Hangawi (as well as our cheesecake fest the next morning).

Part Two: I discovered a new favorite restaurant and ordered quite a lot of food!.
Moving on to Part Three: Pearl River Mart, a Dish-a-Holic’s dreamland!
(Weirdo)
If you thought Pier One was a fun place to shop for dishes, oh boy do you need a trip to Pearl River Mart. It boasts not one, but two floors filled with dishes of every size and shape imaginable, some of which are the most adorable things you’ll ever see! From owl teapots to piggy plates to flowery bowls, I wanted to buy out the store. Don’t even get m started on all the origami, trinkets, and other non-dishware I wanted to buy. Unfortunately (fortunately for my wallet, though!) I had to exercise self-control because whatever I bought had to be carried around the city all day.
As I mentioned in my Survey about Me, I harbor a huge obsession for all things panda-related. So, looking at the panda dishes below, can you now understand how hard it must’ve been for me? Poor CCK…
Along with the panda plates and dishes, they also had a panda pencil sharpener, paper shredder, balloon…
I did end up buying a few dishes. (And that pencil sharpener; I just couldn’t resist!)
I would love a stick blender!
oooo this is so hard to pick, but I am in desperate need of some new pots and pans so I think I would spring for the Kitchenaid Cookware Gourmet Essentials 9 and 11 inch pots! the red is so beautiful too!
I want a magic bullet.
I’ve really been wanting an immersion blender so I think I’d go for that.
Oooh, I’d put it towards the Shun Classic 7″ Santoku Knife…we have a serious lack of good knives in our kitchen!
i would buy a panini maker or an icecream maker! thankyou so much!
i am a huge fan of Le Creuset – just started collecting, so i would put the gift certificate towards more, more, more! 🙂
I would definitely get a new blender! Mine dies a little more each time I use it 🙁 I’d want either a Magic Bullet or the Aroma Stainless Steel Blender in Silver!
I would use the money towards a bigger food processor!!
My mom has been spreading herself WAY to thin lately… tending to my brother’s broken leg, and helping my dad out as he prepares for hip replacement surgery. I feel really bad, and wish that I could take the entire load of life off of her shoulders. She needs some more time for herself…
We do have a little “garden” type area in our courtyard, which prior to life’s hectic ways taking over, was deemed her summer project. I want her to be able to make this courtyard her sancuary though, in spite of everything. So I’d most likely used the $60 to buy her some garden decor items and/or outdoor furniture. She deserves the world, granted, but I think some nice little gifts like these will suffice for now! (I can’t give her the world lol)
