Just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed brunch at SPQR. They seem to do everything right, from the simple things like poached eggs and bacon, or beets salad, to the not-so-common items like fried pigs ears or chicken liver pate with rhubarb. I’m a pig lover so I really liked their crispy, suckling pig. [...]

I love the home-made chips at Tropisueno. They’re light, crispy, warm, and not as oily as other places (like Chevy’s). Pair that with their guacamole with nice chunks of avocado, or their ceviche with fresh chunks of white fish, or any of their free salsas and you’re set! The chips are a little on the [...]

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’ve mentioned the blueberry mousse served at my current favorite bakery in Chinatown, Yummy Bakery and Cafe, but now, I want to mention their milk egg tart (鮮奶蛋撻). Everyone is familiar with Chinese egg tarts (蛋撻), but a lot of people don’t know that they come in different variations. My favorite is actually the milk [...]

I’d consider the salt and pepper chicken wings from Capital Restaurant to be one of the hidden gems of Chinatown when it comes to food. Just about every Chinese person from San Francisco who loves chicken wings knows of Capital’s reputation. The wings always come very crispy and piping hot – sometimes, the juice squirts [...]

Just a quick recap on the Myx Mash concert featuring Bruno Mars, Brown Eyed Girls, and T-Pain … Aside from all the talking and spinning and random hyping of the performances to come … Poreotix, winner of America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5, gave some short solo dance performances, followed by another short stage performance [...]

I like going to My Favorite Cafe (老友記) for late night desserts. Of all the Hong Kong dessert cafes, this one probably has the best service and is the most consistent with their food. Plus, they close past 1am, I believe. I can always count on My Favorite Cafe! 2110 Clement Street (between 22nd Ave [...]

I had high hopes stepping into Mission Minis. Cupcakes in the Mission? That’s new. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with their cake. Simply put, it was dry. Their frosting is not bad though, and I’m sure they’ll improve over time since they are still somewhat new. 3168 22nd St (between Capp St & Mission St) San [...]

San Francisco is lucky to have so many ice creameries. One of my favorites is Marco Polo Italian Ice Cream. (In other words, gelato.) It’s a lot thicker than regular ice cream, and though I still like regular ice cream better, I do love the flavors at Marco Polo. They serve just about all the [...]

I like hot potting at Old Mandarin Islamic Restaurant, but I also like ordering cooked food too. Their must order dish has to be their beef pancake (北京牛肉餅). It’s a thin layer of beef inside a thin and slightly crispy pancake. Their chicken cold noodles (雞涼麵) was alright, but I’ve had better. And of course, [...]
