Cupcakes at Pastries and Petals

June 21st, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Monterey Bay, Travels / Leave A Comment

As a cupcake fan, I had to visit Pastries and Petals. This shop is probably the classiest a cupcake shop can get: marble tables, actual silverware (as opposed to disposable), fresh flowers, and great table service. All of the cakes were topped with flowers. They were all certainly pretty. As for actual taste, though, I [...]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: My most favorite lunch spot in all of Carmel is still Carmel Belle. This is a must visit for me whenever I’m in the area, and I always get their slow-cooked Berkshire pork sandwich. This time, however, I tried a couple other sandwiches that also left [...]

What I Like About Carmel

May 31st, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Travels / 2 Comments

Carmel isn’t the type of place that I could ever live in because it’s so small, but it’s a place I wouldn’t mind visiting every now and then, especially since it’s so close to San Francisco. Here’s a few things I like about Carmel: 1) White sands. Carmel Beach has soft, powdery white sand. If [...]

I remember wanting to eat at Patisserie Boisserie Restaurant & Patisserie the last time I was at Carmel but I was too full. This time, I didn’t care – I had to go. I went in at full force, even though I had just finished eating at Carmel Belle. I was so stuffed after eating [...]

Must Eat Slow-cooked Berkshire Pork Sandwich at Carmel Belle

May 31st, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food, Must Eat, Travels / Leave A Comment

My most favorite lunch spot in all of Carmel is Carmel Belle. I always have get the same thing – their slow-cooked Berkshire pork on ciabatta bread with red onion-currant chutney.

The White Sands of Carmel Beach

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

Such a nice beach. The sand is so soft that when I first stepped onto it, I sank. Dogs are able to roam around unleashed. Too bad it was cold, otherwise I would have dipped my feet into the water. Mom got a little too close and her pants got wet. Ha!

Exploring and Eating Carmel-by-the-Sea Downtown

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 [...]

Carmel Mission Basilica

June 28th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

This was the second non-food stop of our visit to Carmel. The Carmel Mission Basilica is definitely worth a visit if you’re: 1) into history, 2) into religion, or 3) have a checklist and need to get it out of the way. I fall under 2 and 3. $5 entrance, or $4 if you’re a [...]

Hiking in Carmel: Point Lobos State Reserve

June 27th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Landmarks, Travels / Leave A Comment

Our first non-food stop during our trip to Monterey Bay was at the Point Lobos State Reserve. The weather was muggy but that didn’t stop us from going. We hiked around for a bit but had to rush since I had an itinerary long enough to last  a whole weekend yet crammed into a day.
