One Night Stand Concert Featuring J Valentine, Jon B, and Ginuwine

May 31st, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Concert, Events / Leave A Comment

The One Night Stand concert in the Fox Theatre Redwood City was a night of nostalgia for me – the 90s and R&B. The original line-up was Jon B and Ginuwine, but J Valentine ended up opening for them. Unfortunately there was about a 45 min intermission between J Valentine and Jon B, and that [...]

Basil Lemon Blueberry Cupcake at Kingdom Cake

May 27th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food / Leave A Comment

The basil lemon blueberry mini cupcake at Kingdom Cake is a unique treat. It sorta reminds me of a better, lemony version of a blueberry muffin, and with a unique basil taste. It’s obvious the cupcakes weren’t mind in that tiny window of a store, and cupcakes were cold, but they’re still good! (Yeah, $2 [...]

Must Eat Red Velvet Cupcake at That Takes the Cake

May 27th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

That Takes the Cake has gone a long way since it first opened up a few years ago. Their cake used to be really dry and the frosting was so hard that it would crumble, but now, they’re all about the moistness – the red velvet, especially. It’s still hard-frosted, but the frosting isn’t as [...]

Must Eat Salted Caramel Macaron at Citizen Cake

May 26th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

Quick shout-out to the French macarons at Citizen Cake, specifically the salted caramel macaron. It’s sweet, it’s rich, its crispy, it’s light, it’s chewy – it’s everything you could want – and at $1.50 a piece, it’s bigger and more worth it than your average macaron in the city. 2125 Fillmore St (between California St [...]

Brunch at Absinthe Brasserie & Bar

May 26th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food, French / Leave A Comment

Brunch at Absinthe Brasserie & Bar is always a treat. This time, I went for their roast of the day, which was a pork shoulder roast, thinly sliced with a side of beans and greens. The meat was lean and soft – not bad. Overall, another successful brunch. 398 Hayes St (between Franklin St & [...]

Must Eat Rice Pudding at Loving Cup

May 24th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

If you like rice pudding, then you’ll love Loving Cup. The rice pudding is smooth, creamy, and made fresh daily. The portions are generous – I’d say a small would be more than enough for one person because too much can get too sweet. 2356 Polk St (between Green St & Union St) San Francisco, [...]

Cinnamon Horchata Cupcake at Mission Minis

May 23rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food / Leave A Comment

I keep wanting to like Mission Minis, but my experiences with them has always a bit of a let down. The flavors are all there, but the cakes are always on the drier side. It’s not terrible, and still, at $1 a pop, it’s a quick, fun and convenient place to drop by and grab [...]

Lemon Shaker Pie at Mission Pie

May 23rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Food / Leave A Comment

The banana cream pie at Mission Pie has always been my favorite, partially because I’m biased for being a fan of banana cream pie, and partially because it really is that good. The smoothness of the cream, the flakiness off the crust, and the right amount of sugar is what keeps me coming back. I [...]

Taiwanese American Cultural Festival 2011

May 19th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Events, Festivals / Leave A Comment

I’ve been going to the Taiwanese American Cultural Festival at Union Square for years now and every year I seem to stay shorter and shorter. I keep wanting it to be fun and exciting, but it’s just so tiny, which is fair since it’s not like we have the largest Taiwanese population in San Francisco, [...]
