Talde

Brooklyn food culture is growing, so if you aren’t on it, you’re missing it. I had some beautiful company for brunch and my heart, Rainie, already suggested to go to Talde months ago. Had to make the girl happy so it was only right for us to attend during her visit to the city. She really chose a great place in a great neighborhood which also played awesome music. There were 7 of us brunching that afternoon and the booths here fit everyone comfortably so I was impressed. They serve a dim sum style brunch where you can share majority of the options and that was good cause my fat self wanted to try everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They offer “a perfect Bellini” here, which has mango, passion fruit and a bunch of other fruits mixed into one amazing glass of summer. It wasn’t too strong and I can’t lie, it was close to perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The menu here is ridiculously enticing and hard to choose from so again, I was grateful to be there with such a huge party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At our table we had the pretzel dumplings, lobster bao, bacon pad thai, Korean fried chicken and waffles, and bowls of fried rice. The wings were absolutely finger licking good but they were semi spicy. The waffles literally melted in my mouth because as I said at the table, they tasted like a fluff of butter. That might sound gross but  it was to die for. Why would I eat anything else after I consumed this wonderful meal?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because I’m greedy. The lobster bao I ordered was just staring at me in the face and I was weary! The lobster comes within a mix of spices and other things I couldn’t identify, semi wrapped in a bun-like mold. I did expect it to taste better than it was described to me but I promise it taste better than what I just described to you. There were hearty pieces of lobster but the order only includes two baos so beware.

I’m also not into pretzels but I am into food porn and I noticed these dumplings a few tables away and couldn’t resist. I was staring at them for some time wondering where exactly did the pretzel aspect come into play and then I realized it sitting lightly on top of the dumplings. It was so damn good. Like, I can’t even begin to explain how good it was but by then, I had forgotten all about my butter fluff waffle to say the least!

Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and more importantly the company of one another! It’s important to enjoy good food with great people! So try that when you check out Talde because it was really worth going to.
