The wings at So are very similar to that of its sister restaurant, San Tung Chinese Restaurant, but anyone who frequents San Tung knows that they’re not exactly the same. By coincidence, I actually had San Tung earlier during the day for lunch. The wings at So were bigger and its sauce was not as [...]

I went to try out the new Asian fusion restaurant in Daly City called Grain Restaurant & Noodle Bar. The food there is amazingly good. It’s hidden deep inside the King Plaza and was pretty empty when I went, especially for a Friday night, but I think it’s only a matter of time before the [...]

Our next meal in LA was at Orris on Sawtelle where we had some Japanese-French fusion tapas. This was my second time here, and I’m still digging their tempura anchovies and salmon croquettes, two of my favorite items there. I also really liked their burrata bruschetta, which I got to try for the first time [...]

Novelty stores in Taiwan seems to be in. Modern Toilet is a fun restaurant to check out, but just don’t expect to be wowed by the food. It seems that it’s more about the experience than the food here. If I was a local, I probably wouldn’t come back, but as a visitor, it’s a [...]

Nick joined us for lunch at Umami Burger. The thing about burgers at Umami Burger is that no burger comes plain. Everything comes with that extra taste, so if you’re looking for a nice, juicy burger with a different taste, this is the spot. The fries were just starchy and boring, but the tempura onion [...]

It was the “grand opening” of the Kung Fu Tacos truck. Ruby, Carol and I checked it out during work. I had three tacos: the “Asian asada” ($2), the bbq chicken ($2), and the char siu ($3). The steak I didn’t really care for – I had too much fat in my taco that I [...]

After church, I pretty much spent the rest of the day eating. (What else is there to do?) Lunch was at Pacific Catch. I always make sure to get their Hawaiian poke bowl and some sweet potato fries.
After that, I went to see the John Baldessari: A Print Retrospective from the Collections of Jordan D. [...]
Today was the first day of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, right outside of the Ferry Building. Deirdre and I went for the street food. We first got in line for Namu and they sold out of Korean tacos right when we were about to order. The only thing they had left was the okonomiyaki, [...]

I wasn’t planning on it, but since I was driving by Mission Street Food, didn’t have dinner plans and saw a parking spot, I decided to call Linda to see if she and the others were still planning to eat there. They were, so I got in line for them and we feasted in celebration [...]

I’m not sure how it happened. Linda and I were suppose to just eat at the Mission Street Food truck since they decided to operate out of a taco truck like in its early days, but since we weren’t that hungry yet and needed time to kill, we decided to “snack” at Cafe Zitouna. Weird [...]
