My favorite dish at Pacific Catch is their wasabi bowl with hawaiian poke. (I usually go to their Inner Sunset location since it’s bigger/more convenient.) It somewhat reminds me of my favorite Korean dish, hoedeopbap. All of the veggies and the raw fish makes the dish feel very refreshing. I also like eating it with [...]

Tangerine is a nice brunch spot if you’re looking for something out of the norm. I really enjoyed their macaroni and corn pancake (pictured above), covered with four eggs, and as a “dessert”, their coconut pancake with ginger syrup was a great ending, which was not too sweet but just right. Their potato latke was [...]

Gone are the days of following Korean taco trucks on Twitter and waiting an hour in line to order. Red Hot Kitchen is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but at least it’ll always be there, and I actually think their tacos are a lot more worth it. My favorite was their daily special, [...]

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 [...]
