I love Tropisueno. It’s definitely one of the best non-taqueria Mexican restaurants that I’ve been to. Right after I took that first bite of their complimentary tortilla chips and salsa, I knew the food would be good. Their ceviche tasted fresh, empanadas weren’t oily, seared sea scallops were cooked just right, chile relleno nicely prepared, [...]

The sun finally came out so Helen and I ventured out to SOMA for some fried chicken and waffles at Famerbrown’s Little Skillet. Up to now, I still think they have the best fried chicken I’ve ever had – we actually ordered an 8-piece that came with two sides. Unfortunately, they ran out of grits, [...]

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 [...]

Ethan and Thanh hasn’t been to the original Kara’s Cupcakes in the Marina, and Chantelle hasn’t had many cupcakes since she’s moved to the city, so we had to go. After all, it’s the mother of all cupcakes in San Francisco. I think I’ve changed to a new favorite at Kara’s: chocolate velvet. The chocolate [...]

I’ve been going to Tommy’s Joynt now for years and it’s the one place that has stayed consistent in terms of quality and price. My most favorite thing there? Their BBQ beef brisket. The meat is always tender and the BBQ sauce offers a light, sweet taste. They also pack a lot on one plate. [...]

At long last, after years of wanting to visit Tommaso’s Ristorante Italiano, I finally got to go (and I didn’t have to wait since other people waited for me hehe). Their thin crust pizzas taste very traditional, especially since its cooked in a wood-fired brick oven. Their spinach pizza was amazing, loaded with tons of [...]

I needed last minute cupcakes for Valentine’s Day and Cups and Cakes Bakery came to my rescue. Their cupcakes are just slightly heavier than what I usually like, but to each his own. I’ve actually always been a fan of their cupcakes ever since I tried them a couple years ago at the Yelp holiday [...]

I don’t care much for donuts unless they’re one of three things: gourmet, with bacon, or fresh-hot, straight from the fryer. It’s hard for me to have freshly fried donuts since I’m usually asleep when bakers are frying them in the morning. That’s where Bob’s Donut & Pastry Shop comes into play. When 10pm hits, [...]

I never knew Daly City had a House of Silvanas bakery. I’m used to eating Sans Rival cake, usually from Goldilocks, but I’ve never heard of Silvanas, which is basically a Sans Rival cake in cookie form, until I found out about House of Silvanas. Delightfully [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve really, really enjoyed a nice, deep-fried chicken, soul food style. The fried chicken at Farmerbrown’s Little Skillet has a nice, thin and very crispy batter, and the meat is very juicy. A bit on the expensive side, but definitely on the delicious side. The waffle was also good, though [...]
