Must Eat Soup Dumplings at Top Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant in Richmond BC

June 30th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Chinese, Food, Greater Vancouver, Must Eat, Travels / Leave A Comment

It’s hard to go wrong with soup dumplings (小籠包) in Richmond. One of my favorites restaurant for soup dumplings now is Top Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant. Their version is not greasy like some places’, but in return, some of the flavor gets lost. Still, the dumplings were still soupy and tasty. Thinner skin would have been [...]

Five Guys Burgers and Fries

June 30th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Fast Food, Food, Seattle, Travels / Leave A Comment

From what I’ve seen, there are two things to do in the small city of Bellingham, WA: 1) Rent a car and drive up to Canada, or 2) Eat at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. It’s quality stuff, everything made fresh, all cooked in peanut oil, and they have sacks of peanuts to prove it. [...]

Must Eat Raw Kobe Beef at Nihon Whiskey Lounge

June 24th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Japanese, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

My favorite happy hour spot is now Nihon Whiskey Lounge. The drinks are good, but the happy hour food menu is what impressed me. At half off, these dishes are a steal, and there wasn’t anything that disappointed us. The chicken wings were very juicy, the flash fried fish had a nice, light crisp on [...]

Must Eat Dessert Burgers at Burger Bar

June 23rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under American, Dessert, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

Hubert Keller’s Burger Bar … where the burgers are okay, but the desserts are little bites of heaven. I got to try both of their dessert burgers: the nutella burger imitated a regular burger, which had nutella shaped into a patty, mixed with sliced fruits to imitate the cheese and vegetables, bunned by a warm [...]

Lunch at Wayfare Tavern

June 18th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food / Leave A Comment

Getting a seat at Wayfare Tavern isn’t the easiest thing to do, but it’s actually not too busy during a Saturday lunch. The menu is the same as their dinner menu, so if you don’t mind having your heavy full-on meal during the day, then check it out. Tyler Florence’s signature fried chicken is okay, [...]

Must Eat Pistachio Macaron at Citizen Cake

June 18th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

Just a quick note. The pistachio macaron over at Citizen Cake is by far my favorite of all time now. It’s big, crunch, fluffy, and the stuffing is very pistachio-ey. Pistachio lovers must try! 2125 Fillmore St (between California St & Sacramento St) San Francisco, CA 94115 Neighborhood: Pacific Heights (415) 861-2228

Must Eat Early Bird Prix Fixe Meal at Chapeau

June 11th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, French, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

One of my favorite restaurants in the city is Chapeau, a slightly hidden (behind a tree) French restaurant on Clement St. Service is always excellent, and the food is totally worth it, especially if you can make it in time for their early bird prix fixe menu, which is between 5 and 6pm. It sounds [...]

Hangtown Fry at Brenda’s French Soul Food

June 11th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Cajun/Creole, Food, Soul Food / Leave A Comment

I’m not a fan of the beignets at Brenda’s French Soul Food – they’re not fluffy at all! – but everything else is great, from their sweet tea to their po’ boys to their brunch items like their hangtown fry, one of my favorites. Their fried chicken benedict is also a nice play off of [...]

Aebleskiver at Seesaw

June 11th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Coffee & Drinks, Danish, Food / Leave A Comment

I haven’t had an aebleskiver since my visit to Solvang a couple years ago. This Danish treat can actually be found at Seesaw, a really small and cute cafe in Hayes Valley. It’s like a popover meets a pancake, crispy and fluffy, and served great with a side of jam. 600 Octavia St Ste A [...]
