So check this out – I’ve never seen this anywhere before but at Sheng Kee Bakery over at the Inner Sunset on Irving St. In Chinese, it’s called bing zong (冰糭), which literally translates to “ice zong”, zong being the glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, or in [...]

Tangerine is a nice brunch spot if you’re looking for something out of the norm. I really enjoyed their macaroni and corn pancake (pictured above), covered with four eggs, and as a “dessert”, their coconut pancake with ginger syrup was a great ending, which was not too sweet but just right. Their potato latke was [...]

It sounds weird for a Kit Kat flavor, but the Nestle Wasabi Kit Kat is actually one of my favorites. It comes in a green-ish box with twelve 2-stick packs in it. It can easily be mistaken for green tea, so make sure to look carefully. Anyway, it tastes just like wasabi, but without the [...]

The moment I unwrapped that pack of Nestle Ginger Ale Kit Kat I was already blown away by its strong scent of ginger ale. I took a bite, yes, it was like eating ginger ale in chocolate form. Toss this into my Kit Kat favorites list. Buy Nestle Ginger Ale Kit Kat on Asian Food [...]

The green tea was a little on the heavy side, but you can definitely taste the matcha. It was also had a cream cheese filling. The [...]

It’s hard to find Taiwanese street foods in San Francisco. I even had to drive out all the way to Fremont to eat at Grand Harbor. It was worth it. There aren’t too many places that serve a lot of my favorite street foods, like the oyster omelette (蚵仔煎), or the glutinous meatball (肉圓). What [...]

We celebrated Andy’s birthday during lunchtime at Palio D’Asti. Another decent meal here. Their Pesce del Giorno (fish of the day) was halibut. It was on the dry side. Their Risotto del Giorno (risotto of the day) was pork. Not bad. Their Pizza Siciliana with Berkshire pork fennel sausage has always been our favorite of [...]

I took Phil to Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream since he’s been wanting to try it. I made him get their two most popular flavors: Secret Breakfast and Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee. He also went for their Tahitian Vanilla, which was excellent, by the way. You can clearly taste the difference between that and just any [...]

Who woulda thought that a daytime deli could toss out an amazing dinner at night? Sally’s After Dark offers a three-course pre-fixe meal for $24, and at that price with the food that they offer, it’s a must dine! In short, excellent service and definitely no complaints about their food – we tried the steamed [...]
