After our meal at the Old Mandarin Islamic Restaurant, we grabbed dessert nearby at Mango Medley. It has changed a lot since I was last there (at least a year ago) and for the better. For the most part, the food is the same, but now, service is a lot faster. I remember having to [...]

A group of us ate at Old Mandarin Islamic Restaurant for David’s birthday. It’s definitely a great place for hot pot and good-ole Beijing food. Since this Chinese restaurant observes Islam, they don’t serve pork, but they do serve a lot of lamb. Aside from their hot pot, their Peking noodles and their beef pancake [...]

I finally got to try Burger Bar at Macy’s in Union Square. We went at midnight so we didn’t have to wait for a table. We all had just their basic burger – the Black Angus beef – with our choice of toppings. I think anyone who wants to compare burgers with other restaurants’ should [...]

I’ve been wanting to try Local Kitchen and Wine Merchant since it opened months ago since but it’s always been out of the way. We went for their special with duck, and if I was to describe it with one word, I would have to say “Asian” because the duck had the flavor you’d find [...]

I had to go to Bi-Rite Creamery since I was out of town last weekend and didn’t have any ice cream in SF at all. I thought about it and I don’t think I’ve ever had a cup of their brown sugar with ginger caramel swirl ice cream, so that’s what I had. It was [...]

It’s so hard to find restaurants (not bars) that close late night. Ramblas Tapas Bar closes at midnight, which is better than nothing. I’m definitely a fan of their patatas bravas and would go back even just for that. It’s crispy and tossed with crispy leeks and spicy garlic-harissa aioli, unlike other places where it’s [...]

After ice cream, I got hungry (sweets always makes me crave savory) so we all went to The Corner. They just released their new menu not too long ago and it’s a definite hit. We ordered the rabbit liver pate, the slow-cooked pork shank, and the seared beef tongue. Everything was delicious. My favorite of [...]

Today was the first cold Friday in a while, but it doesn’t matter – I’ll still eat ice cream. I had my weekly dose of Bi-Rite Creamery. This time I went with honey lavender (top) and roasted banana (bottom). It wasn’t a really good combo, but it’s still all good.

Happy Birthday Karen! We celebrated Karen’s birthday at Starbelly. I didn’t think we were gonna get full at first, but all those little bites added up, and given some time, food started to settle. I’m pretty sure the group consensus favorite was the burger. It was just so juicy and well-seasoned. As for dessert, we [...]

I haven’t been to Bi-Rite Creamery for two weekends in a row since I was in Taiwan. That’s a long time for me since Bi-Rite is my favorite ice cream shop. We were even just talking about this at work. Anyway, I only got a single scoop (kids size) this time since I just had [...]
