The latest trend in San Francisco seems to be millionaire’s bacon. It’s a thick cut of meaty bacon sweetened with brown sugar, among other things. It’s delicious, but it can get to be too sweet. However, stick it in a BLT sandwich just like what Kitchen Story did it makes for a perfect lunch. Honestly, [...]

There’s a new boba shop in town and though the interior nor exterior look very pleasant, the drinks are. I’ve been there three times already within the two weeks they’ve been opened. What I like about Infini Tea (or is it InfiniTea?) is that they serve fresh, hot boba coated in honey. You can even [...]

Sunny days are back and so is my ice cream craving. I haven’t been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous enough lately. All of their flavors have completely changed since the last time I’ve been there. This time, my new favorite is their basil chocolate chip ice cream. Basil is a flavor I love, though it’s [...]

With all these new age fusion restaurants opening up, it’s nice to be able to still go to a quiet, low-key neighborhood and have a solid traditional breakfast/brunch meal. Liberty Cafe has been around forever and I wonder why I’ve never been. I finally went and tried their eggs benedict and their corned beef hash. [...]

The newest ramen shop to hit San Francisco is Waraku, taking the old spot of Bushi-tei in Japantown. It’s the sister restaurant of Men Oh Tokushima, but I like this place a lot better. The restaurant is nicer, service is better, and the ramen itself is more worth it – no crazy wait, better portions [...]

There’s a new Taiwanese bento (便當）spot inside the Marina Food supermarket in San Mateo called Formosa Express. It’s a really good deal and the food is pretty good. I’d say it’s worth way more than what you pay for. They have a buy one get one free promotion right now (or maybe this is the [...]

Haters gonna hate but there’s no doubt that Sprinkles Cupcakes is the mother of cupcakes. They set the benchmark for cupcakes over five years ago and I still find myself eating them. This flavor is new to me – dark chocolate banana cupcake. The cake was like banana bread and very moist. The frosting is [...]

After having just returned from Japan, I’ve been craving macarons. After all, Japan is like the next best thing to Paris when it comes to patisseries. (Or maybe it’s even better?) Cocola Bakery has some good macarons – definitely not like the high-end ones that I’ve had in Japan, but more worth what you pay [...]

I can never get sick of croissants. Sandbox Bakery is the closest thing in the San Francisco Bay Area to a typical bakery in Japan, the biggest difference being that it’s not self-served, but maybe it’s better off that way for sanitary reasons. Sandbox has a good fusion of Japanese and French pastries. Every piece [...]
