Red Velvet Cupcake from Cupcakes Window on Columbus Street

August 20th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food / 2 Comments

The most random thing happened to me today. While walking to Chinatown for lunch, I passed by a brand new cupcake window stand. It was really ghett-looking because it was tiny and still brand new, but the cupcakes weren’t ghetto at all. It was so new – just opened that day – that they didn’t [...]

Must Eat Peach Pie at Wayfare Tavern

August 13th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

Just had lunch at Wayfare Tavern for Anita’s birthday (Happy Birthday Anita!) and we all loved it. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the foie gras was, well, let’s just say the duck’s miserable life left four people happy. The steak and eggs was very comforting, the burger being one of the [...]

Lounge Menu at 5A5 Steak Lounge

August 9th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food / Leave A Comment

The more I visit 5A5 Steak Lounge, the more I love it. I just went for happy hour. My favorite is their Kobe beef sliders. How many places let’s you choose how well/rare you want your sliders cooked? Their truffle fries – always a good choice. Oyster shooters with diced watermelon at the bottom of [...]

Must Eat Kobe Burger at 5A5 Steak Lounge

June 18th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

The first thing I thought after we finished lunching at 5a5 Steak Lounge was, that was a damn good burger! We all ordered our Kobe burgers medium, fearing that medium-rare would cause the patty to crumble, but when it came, it was red enough to be medium-rare but without it falling apart. It was nice [...]

Stinky Tofu at China Bee

May 4th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Chinese, Food / Leave A Comment

I haven’t had much stinky tofu in the Bay Area, but of the ones I’ve had, I still have to say, China Bee in San Mateo serves it best. (I kinda wish it stunk more, though.) The soup dumplings (小籠包) is alright there, and so was their dry fried chicken wings. A-cai (A-菜) is always [...]

Business Lunch at Aqua

April 16th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food / Leave A Comment

Aqua has been running a “business lunch” promotion and recently extended the offer, giving me the opportunity to check it out. A two-course meal for $20.10. The meal is set and you can’t choose what you want. I don’t know if it changes daily but when I went, the starter was an asparagus salad, which [...]

Celebrating Andy’s Birthday at Palio D’Asti

March 22nd, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian / Leave A Comment

We celebrated Andy’s birthday during lunchtime at Palio D’Asti. Another decent meal here. Their Pesce del Giorno (fish of the day) was halibut. It was on the dry side. Their Risotto del Giorno (risotto of the day) was pork. Not bad. Their Pizza Siciliana with Berkshire pork fennel sausage has always been our favorite of [...]

Lemon Chicken at Great Hunan Restaurant

February 20th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Chinese, Food / Leave A Comment

In our quest to find the best lemon chicken in Chinatown, Candy and I tried out Great Hunan Restaurant. Walking by all the pictures of the deep fried and sauced up chickens posted on their window finally caught on to us. Just by looking at the outside, you could tell that it’s generally a White [...]

Must Eat Honey Chili Prawns at Chef Jia’s Restaurant

January 27th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Chinese, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

Everyone raves about the honey chili chicken at Chef Jia’s Restaurant, but I’m really digging their honey chili prawns. The prawns are huge, battered, fried to a nice crisp, and sauced up in a honey chili sauce, giving a sweet and mildly spicy flavor. I also tried the lemon chicken, which was not bad. The [...]
