Dining with Derencia: Shima

I am just so excited to finally be able to dine at a restaurant again! Like, y’all don’t understand. I have literally been craving a culinary experience for months.

At 16, I visited Luciano’s for lunch and tried calamari for the first time and that opened the door, or my palate really for foodie adventures. Fast forward a few years and I found myself regularly posting reviews on TripAdvisor, having people ask me for lunch and dinner recommendations, asking my friends to take photos of their food whenever we went out and just a little taste of whatever they got, of course. Like, I have to try it too. I figured with all the food photos I have in my phone and reviews all in my head, it was time to write. I’m happy to introduce my new blog series: Dining with Derencia!
