Stanton Social - Tiny Miny Mo

After an amazing vacation from the big apple, now it's the time to share some of the food treasures. First stop, Stanton Social, tapas brunch style with minimalism concept, both ambiance and proportion. Sharing is greatly encouraged. In fact, it's recommended for each person to get at least two orders granted the portion is very small.

The overall experience was a hit and miss. I love some of the dishes but weren't blown away with couple of them. One biggest complain is how all of the unexceptional-tasting food are so overpriced. $12 for three bite size skewer? We better get used to 'coz this is New York.

 spicy lamb souvlakis. tzatziki, lime & harrisa aioli. the lamb is moist and tasty.

 french onion soup dumpling. not your regular french onion soup or dumpling. cheesy goodness.

 potato & goat cheese pierogies. caramelized onions and truffle creme fraiche. very delish!

 croque monsieur satays - mini brioche, country ham, gruyere & muenster. little bundles of heaven.

 spicy lobster benedict, spinach and chipotle hollandaise. the lobster is so chewy, I think I'll pass next time.

 Rhode Island lobster rolls. kobe beef philly sliders, truffle & goat cheese fondue. mediocre tasting... next!!

 banana caramelized pancakes. candied pecans, vanilla brown sugar & maple syrup. We got a winner, here! This pancakes reminds me of the uber awesome olive pancakes from The Bazaar. So mouth-watering and fluffy.
