Now here’s something so unique that I’ve never seen it in any dim sum restaurant I’ve been to. A pork dumpling (shumai/燒賣) covered with a scoop of foie gras and topped with shreds of shark fin, only at Zen Peninsula in Millbrae. In the menu, it’s noted as foie gras & shark fin pork siu-mai [...]

Like crawfish? Check out Red Crawfish in the Tenderloin and order them by the pound to whatever spiciness level you prefer. Like crawfish but too lazy to crack them open? Order their gumbo – the crawfish is de-shelled in there, plus they make some mean gumbo! Pass on the garlic noodles, unless you’re looking for [...]

There’s a new cupcake joint in the Financial District called Cupcake Cove. It’s pretty late in the cupcake trend, but it can never be too late if it’s actually good. $3 a cupcake is pretty standard nowadays. They are currently running a grand opening promotion – buy 3 get 1 free. All the cupcakes are [...]

The burger with fries made it to 7×7′s 100 Things to Try Before You Die list in 2009. It uses a Prather Ranch patty, cooked the way I requested with just a tiny bit of redness to retain its juiciness. The fries were traditional and crispy. Overall, it was a good burger, but it wasn’t [...]

I like hot dogs … or at least the kind that you know what it’s made out of. I grabbed a Frank dog from Let’s Be Frank while at Crissy Field. The dog was good, topped with grilled onions on a soft Acme bun. More onions would have been nicer, but overall, it was a [...]

I’ve always been a fan of brunch at Namu. I’m glad I was able to check it out since they seem to have changed their menu. Brunch at Namu encompasses a lot of my favorite parts of dining out: local, organic ingredients, portioned just right, friendly staff, and located away from hustle and bustle of [...]

My favorite Thai restaurant in San Francisco is possibly Lers Ros Thai, set in the heart of the Tenderloin district. Their menu has items that you just can’t find in other Thai restaurants, like salted egg salad, or roasted pork shoulder slices, or even alligator. It’s also open til midnight every day! 730 Larkin St [...]

John, Nam and Susan came to San Francisco for the weekend. I took them around the city, just winging it. The weather was abnormally nice so were able to walk around in tshirts at night and spend a lot of time at the park … not to mention some good eating! Places in this video: [...]

I’ve been going to Fantasia Coffee & Tea for over a decade now, and it’s always been consistently good. Their green milk tea has a strong tea flavor and with just the right amount of sweetness. Good thing there isn’t a Fantasia in SF or else all my petty cash would go towards it. 528 [...]

The people of San Jose are raving over the red velvet cupcake at Hannah. It was alright. $3.50 is way too much for that little thing, though. It’s light and moist, and it’s made fresh throughout the day. Mine just came out of the oven. Overpriced, but overall, the cafe itself is a nice local [...]
