I wanted to take Holly to one of my favorite lunch spots in the city since she’s only in town for a couple days, so I took her to Chez Maman. I picked that place because I figured it would be pretty empty during a weekday, but no, it was still packed. Don’t these people [...]

This was my first time having savory items at Patisserie Philippe, but I wasn’t surprised at all at how good they were since they know how to do pastries right. I really liked their quiche lorraine (quiche with bacon and onions). It was light and not too salty. Just right. Their other savory pastry that [...]

We grabbed some crepes at Cafe Breton. You just can’t go wrong with nutella crepes; however, they had something that I’m not used to seeing in American menus: mango crepes. The crepe is filled with sliced mangos and heated so it’s nice and hot, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and covered with [...]

We went to Posh II (the second location of Posh) for dessert. Their desserts didn’t have much of a wow factor, although their hot apple pie drink really did taste like a warm apple pie, but in drink form. Everything else (chocolate with ice cream, yogurt drink, crepe) was okay.

Bobby wanted to eat at Chez Maman, but I knew we wouldn’t fit there so I took everyone to Gamine on Union St. instead, which is the same restaurant but with a different name. The menu was the same and the service was just as good, but the food was a bit off. My burger [...]

We went to Taipei 101 after lunch. The girls went shopping while the guys walked around a bit and ended up eating soup dumplings (小籠包) at the food court. [...]
Linda, Jennifer, John and I had a late night meal at Cafe Presse before heading to Seattle. Linda got there earlier and had already eaten, and the rest of us got there and each ordered a croque madam. We shared an order of pommes frites too. Cafe Presse is one of my favorite places in [...]

We had the best pork sandwich ever at Carmel Belle, located inside the Doud Craft Studios. It was a slow-cooked Berkshire pork with red onion-currant chutney on a ciabatta bread. How good was it? My mom didn’t want to eat because she was still full from breakfast and dessert, but I insisted that she take [...]

What a shame. We ordered every single item on Midi’s menu (two of each appetizer and one of each entree and dessert) and I took a picture of every single dish, but something went wrong with my memory card and aside from the desserts, this grilled hangar steak was the only food item left in [...]

Chez Maman’s “Basic Burger” is one of my favorite burgers in the city. The meat comes out juicy and not greasy, and I really like the soft ciabatta-ish bread they use. Ever since I visited Portland, I fell in love with the combination of brie and bacon, so when I saw that you could add [...]
