Lunch at Larkin Express Burmese Kitchen

June 29th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Burmese, Food / Leave A Comment

I’ve been wondering about Larkin Express Burmese Kitchen for the longest time and finally got to try it on Sunday because they decided to open that day for Pride. It was pretty good. It’s not Burma Superstar, but at a fraction of the cost, its worth it.

BoA at SF Pride 2009

June 29th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Concert, Events, Festivals / Leave A Comment

The main reason I went to SF Pride on Sunday was to see BoA perform. Honestly, I’m not that big of a fan, but I gotta support my fellow Asians, and I definitely had to see BoA since she’s the biggest name in Korea. She was definitely the most popular performer out there thanks to [...]

Celebrating Edwin’s Birthday: Food, Dyke March, Karaoke

June 29th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Events, Festivals, Food, Fusion, Street Food / Leave A Comment

I wasn’t planning on it, but since I was driving by Mission Street Food, didn’t have dinner plans and saw a parking spot, I decided to call Linda to see if she and the others were still planning to eat there. They were, so I got in line for them and we feasted in celebration [...]

Old Fisherman’s Wharf and the Old Fisherman’s Grotto

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food, Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

One of my favorite things about Monterey is it’s Old Fisherman’s Wharf. It’s tiny and loaded with either restaurants or souvenier shops. I like how every single restaurant has someone standing outside giving out samples of their clam chowder. If I wasn’t already full from dinner, I’d say all these samples woulda gotten me full [...]

A Walk Around Lovers Point Park

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

After dinner, we had to walk off the food so we went to Lovers Point Park, just a few blocks away from the restaurant. Well, we stayed mainly around the beach side, and I climbed up the rocks to grab a view of everything from atop. I spotted sea otters too, but they were too [...]

Dinner at Passionfish – Best Meal in Monterey Bay Area

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food / 1 Comment

We didn’t originally plan on having dinner at Passionfish. We were going to a cheaper restaurant, but that place was booked for a private party, so I figured, when in Rome … This was the best meal I’ve had this year (I think). We had an avocado dungeness crab salad, a seafood calamari salad, sea [...]

Afternoon Dessert at Parker-Lusseau

After finishing up our tour of Carmel, we headed back to Monterey and we had some dessert, and by we I mean me. I just got a raspberry tart since Parker-Lusseau Pastries seems to be known for tarts. It was delicious.

The White Sands of Carmel Beach

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

Such a nice beach. The sand is so soft that when I first stepped onto it, I sank. Dogs are able to roam around unleashed. Too bad it was cold, otherwise I would have dipped my feet into the water. Mom got a little too close and her pants got wet. Ha!

Exploring and Eating Carmel-by-the-Sea Downtown

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, French, Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

We had the best pork sandwich ever at Carmel Belle, located inside the Doud Craft Studios. It was a slow-cooked Berkshire pork with red onion-currant chutney on a ciabatta bread. How good was it? My mom didn’t want to eat because she was still full from breakfast and dessert, but I insisted that she take [...]

Carmel Mission Basilica

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

This was the second non-food stop of our visit to Carmel. The Carmel Mission Basilica is definitely worth a visit if you’re: 1) into history, 2) into religion, or 3) have a checklist and need to get it out of the way. I fall under 2 and 3. $5 entrance, or $4 if you’re a [...]
