My favorite dessert bakery in the Bay Area is Satura Cakes. I usually go to their Palo Alto location since it’s closer to me. They bake European treats with a Japanese/Asian taste, which usually means less on the sugar overload and more on the flavors. Just about anytime I get something there, I’m never disappointed. [...]

Jann and Steve came back from Las Vegas and brought be a nice little treat – French macarons from Payard Patisserie & Bistro in Las Vegas. I can’t say it’s the best, and I wasn’t too fond of their bright nuclear colors, but I did really like its texture. Hard, thin outside, soft, chewy inside [...]

I had the urge to splurge a little during my lunch hour so I had lunch at Globe. Anita and I went for their pork sausage and spring onions pizza, and surprisingly, we really enjoyed it. (I’m pretty picky when it comes to pizza!) It’s better than where we usually get our pizza in the [...]

I’m hooked on Taiwan’s new drama series, Summer’s Desire (泡沫之夏). The theme song is by Peter Ho (何潤東) and is called Remember Loved (我記得我愛過). (He also co-stars and produces the show.) Anyway, just another catchy, sappy love song that’s stuck in my head now. Check out his new album，Perfect Lover (完美情人), which was just released [...]

Just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed brunch at SPQR. They seem to do everything right, from the simple things like poached eggs and bacon, or beets salad, to the not-so-common items like fried pigs ears or chicken liver pate with rhubarb. I’m a pig lover so I really liked their crispy, suckling pig. [...]

The first thing I thought after we finished lunching at 5a5 Steak Lounge was, that was a damn good burger! We all ordered our Kobe burgers medium, fearing that medium-rare would cause the patty to crumble, but when it came, it was red enough to be medium-rare but without it falling apart. It was nice [...]

I know that a lot of people are big fans of PPQ Dungeness Island Vietnamese Cuisine over on Clement and 25th, but I haven’t really been impressed with it until this past weekend when I went there for lunch for my brother’s birthday. I’ve gone there a few other times before for dinner on the [...]

There’s a new ice cream shop in town and it’s name is Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous. I like that name. I think I’d go to just about any store named like that. The shop is loaded with families, probably because it is in the Potrero Hill/Dogpatch district, which is just about all residential. It was [...]

I love the pizza at Golden Boy Pizza. I’ve been going there for years now. They serve Sicilian-style pizza, which is served as a square pie with thick crust. To many, Golden Boy Pizza is drunk food, but to me, I go there because I really like it. They’re always coming out with a new [...]

I haven’t had a slice of sacripantina cake from Stella Pastry & Cafe over at North Beach in a while. It somewhat reminds me of cakes in Chinatown, except this one is guaranteed light, moist, and not overly sweet. Plus, I’m a fan of zabaglione, which is the custard they use in this cake, and [...]
