2023 October List | 十月清單

Cincinnati turned into Fall overnight. Without any warning, the morning temperature dropped below 40 degrees. Not only does my mom think it’s cold, I was caught off guard and had to dig out my winter clothes from the storage. What’s gonna happen when Winter comes? Even so, I love the distinct seasons, especially seeing the foliage and brown leaves lining the streets, making me fall in love with Cincinnati even more!

體驗一晚瞬間入秋的辛辛那提!完全無預警,一早起床溫度從六十多度降到四十度。不僅我媽喊冷,我也措手不及,我們快點把放在儲藏櫃裡的衣服搬出來。天啊,這冬天怎麼辦(開始上網逛街!)即使如此,我實在太愛這種四季分明的天氣了,開車在路上秋葉掉落滿地,讓我更愛辛辛那提了!


Ten Seconds

7606 Cox Ln, West Chester Township, OH 45069

I can’t believe Cincinnati has Guo Qiao rice noodles! Love! A newly opened Chinese restaurant, even though it’s a bit far from where we live, it is worth the drive. Asian food options are scarce in this town.

天阿,辛辛那提竟然有我好愛吃的過橋米線!近期新開的亞洲餐廳,雖然離我們家好遠,但還是很值得,畢竟這裡亞洲食物選擇真的少得可憐。

I love the cold, brisk Fall weather! After breakfast, we met up with our friends at the Sunflower Festival. In addition to the sunflower fields, there’s also pumpkin patches, food stands, corn mazes, and even a farmer's market. The sunflowers are good for picking, and are just $1 each stem.

天氣突然一瞬間變涼,正是我愛的!一早一家人吃完早餐後,我們就和朋友一起來看太陽花展。這裡不只有太陽花園,還有南瓜園、食物區、迷宮、超多選擇。在花園裡能採太陽花,一隻只要美金一塊錢。

VV The Italian Experience

We often drive by this place, and I’ve told UN that I want to visit all the shops along this street. On Sunday before church, while the babies are asleep, UN and I came here for coffee and breakfast. UN ordered a latte, and was quite impressed. This place has become one of our frequent spots.

常常開車經過這裡,一直和UN說我要把這裡的每間店去過一次。週日上教會前,寶寶們睡午覺時,我和UN跑出來買咖啡和早餐,UN點了拿鐵,喝了第一口立刻稱讚!這裡已成為我們固定來的地方了!

Delicious cocktails! Thankful for my mom for looking after our babies, so that we can go on our date and not worry about time. Food is above average. We will definitely come back!

調酒好喝耶!感謝我媽顧小孩,讓我倆能不需擔心時間,慢慢在外吃飯約會,而且還能坐在吧台。至於食物嘛,普通偏上,但以辛辛那提標準,我們會常來!

Hello Honey

Love their charcoal sesame flavor! After putting the kids to sleep, we came out for ice cream. We often get the ramen from next door, but never save enough room for desserts. We liked the charcoal sesame and honey lavender. Looking forward to trying out all of their other flavors. This is so far my favorite ice cream place in Cincinnati!

好喜歡Charcoal Sesame口味!飯後把寶寶們弄睡後,我們跑來這裡吃冰淇淋。常到隔壁吃拉麵,但一直沒機會來這裡吃甜點。這次點Charcoal Sesame和Honey Lavender都非常棒,期待下次是更多口味。榮登我在辛城最愛的冰淇淋店!

Streetside Brewery

Highly recommended for people who like fruity beers! I ordered a Hoodie SZN, the fruit fragrance is on point, and not so bitter like regular beer. Be careful, it’s very easy to drink more than just one.

很推薦喜歡果味啤酒的人!我這次喝的是Hoodie SZN,果香十足,不愛啤酒苦味的人可以嘗試。由於太好喝了(沒有苦澀啤酒味),實在很容易喝多!

Pho Lang Thang

Mushroom congee and chicken congee are delectable. But I probably won’t order the pho again. They also have a soft serve shop next door, and it was recommended to us by our friends. They are open from Wednesday to Sunday, located in Over The Rhine, so be careful where you park.

香菇粥和雞肉粥都非常好吃,但我可能不會再點pho。他們也在隔壁開了soft serve冰店,朋友非常推薦,但只開星期三到日。餐廳地點在OTR,停車或走在路上需要小心一點。

Madeira Farmers’ Market

Farmer’s markets in Cincinnati are only till the end of October! Starting November, there will be gradually less and less stands, and their business hours are shorter. I guess farmers here have to prepare for Winter. We came here right before Halloween, and there were many kids dressed up in cute costumes. Also our babies’ first time carving pumpkin!

什麼!這裡的農夫市場只到10月底!11月開始這裡的農夫市場就會大大縮減攤販,時間也縮短。也是,冬天太冷都要待家裡了。這次剛好趕在萬聖節前來,好多小孩盛裝打扮。寶寶們還第一次畫南瓜!
