where is jardin japones? I am looking for a good garden store

I definitely saw fresh mint in barrio chino last week, but not in casa china, in another shop. Maybe try to figure out what day their shipments come in, and go that day? Also, ask a few of the bigger verdularias - the veggie lady near me usually has herbs in the back of her fridge, but i...

I honestly think the Porteña women have some sort of witch-type powers when it comes to hair/looks. They are thin as rails, yet appear to subsist on a diet of plates and plates of cheesey pasta, pizza, alfajores, tastey cakes and cookies, etc. One of my roommates is from BA, and she is...

Many thanks! I hope to see a few replies too. FYI, avoid animal sushi delivery. its in palermo and i think its new, and its bad news bears. Can anyone tell me why so many sushi places in this city have about 50 varieties of rolls that are some combination of salmon, CREAM CHEESE, and...

Hey! Start with a basic calcium/vitamin D for the hair and nails. I paid about 15 pesos at farmacity for some from naturafarma that seem ok. They didn't have as good a selection as in the states, and they were def. more expensive, but I'm going to keep my eyes out for a normal women's...

Hi all! I'm a big fan of sushi, and i'm trying to find a good place in BA for basic, relatively authentic sushi. I don't care if they have massive, over the top rolls or an awesome selection, what I care about are some basic tuna, salmon, white tuna, eel, shrimp, etc. that is fresh and...

I haven't noticed my hair being that bad looking, but since its winter i'm not washing it much, and i use a super intense kiehls conditioner. I have noticed that my fingernails are falling apart, and I think its from a severe lack of vitamins with the meat/cheese/white pasta/white bread heavy...

All are correct - i won money in a bet on this once back in the states. Argentinian is too much of a mouthful for me, so I go with Argentine. And somewhere in Evita the Musical, someone talks about being covered in Argentine glory, and as Evita is my prime source for learning about Argentina.....

Thanks all - i'll let you know how my pad thai and vietnamese spring rolls turn out :)

Hi All Does anyone know where I can find fish sauce? not like, sauce for fish, but that really salty sauce made out of fish that is essential for thai cooking? I'd really appreciate it!

SaraSara, you are a genius woman. Its a little weird that in cities in the US, like Washington DC, bars close at 2 but you can order pizza 24 hours a day - but here in argentina, some bars don't get good until at LEAST 2 but you can get a pizza after midnight :( I see a niche in the market -...

Hi everyone! I live in Barrio Norte, and at 2:30 AM last night I wanted to order a pizza (or empanadas or honestly ANYTHING) really badly. Sadly, I couldn't find a place that was open :( can anyone help me out?

Hi all I am exactly that type of person described in the beginning of the post, but I am not boring or unfun - its just that being new in a city is hard, especially when you don't meet friends in normal places like work because you work on your computer either at home or in coffee shops. Once...

Just made the chicken curry that Harleygirl talked about- it was to DIE for! I added a fresh hot chili pepper with the onions and garlic, and a little bit of coconut milk to the tomato paste and literally my boyfriend and I were fighting eachother for the last bits! thanks thanks and thanks!!
