I haven’t been to Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream in a while, so this time, they finally had a new flavor that I haven’t tried. It’s their cucumber ice milk ice cream. At first lick it was strange, but the more I ate it, the more I liked it. Now, it’s actually one of my favorites! [...]

I like Spork. It’s like a spruced up diner, like something right out LA, but in San Francisco so it’s not superficial at all. Just kidding. Anyway, I went there for brunch, and it was fun. The menu is small so it’s not too hard to decide what to order, and all the items are [...]

Last time I tried the porchetta di testa at Boccalone. This time, I tried their coppa di testa, which translates to “cup of head”, and I liked it even better. From what they described, it’s basically the same as porchetta di testa – a deboned pig’s head, seasoned, tied, and cooked – but braised, so [...]

I’ve been going to Patisserie Philippe for years now and it’s still one of my favorite places for French macarons. Every place makes it differently – texture, size, filling, sweetness – and here they’re made not too sweet, crispy outer layer, chewy inside, and filled with buttercream. I’m usually into non-fruit flavors like tea flavors [...]

All the rave is on The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, which opened in SOMA a few months ago. Actually, it’s the vegetarians that seems to really love it. I went to check it out, and yes, it’s true – it is that damn good. Well, except I prefer my sandwich with meat. My favorite was [...]

Recently, I’ve been becoming more and more of a fan of 100% Sweet Cafe. The service still needs a lot of work, but the food here is not bad! I tried a beef and curry corkscrew pasta dish that they had and the beef was really tender. I didn’t expect that coming! Their pork cutlet [...]

Possibly the best beignets that I’ve had in San Francisco is from Just For You Cafe over in the Dogpatch district. They keep it basic with just plain beignets covered with powdered sugar. They come hot and very light and fluffy. (Think fresh donuts, right out of the fryer.) They also have free, homemade strawberry [...]

Mike Relm, JJ Lin 林俊杰, eVonne Hsu 許慧欣 – They all pulled off a great performance for their 2010 APAHM concert in San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts. Oh, and great job to Tom Ngo, the emcee for the night! DJ Mike Relm kicked it off with his mad dj skills. Unlike other djs, he [...]

I haven’t been to Ebisu in a while – and I mean years – so I was glad to pay the restaurant another visit. Simply put, it’s solid food with excellent service. Everything was fresh, from the hamachi to the uni to the ankimo. I can’t say the meal was too memorable, because there are [...]
