I know it sounds kinda weird, but blueberry plus sour cream on a pie crust actually made a great combo. As far as I know, this can only be found at Heidi’s Pies in San Mateo. I also really liked their fresh peach pie, which was seasonal. Their custard pie I could do without – [...]

I kinda feel sorry for Santa Ramen. It kinda went downhill after it’s move a few years ago, but honestly, it’s still good. There’s just a lot more competition nowadays. I found the secret to eating here though: come before closing. I got here at 9pm and didn’t have to wait in line, granted a [...]

Now this is REAL Asian-style honey toast! The new Sheng Kee Bakery on Irving St. and 9th does it just like how they do it in Asia. Toasted bread + honey + custard + ice cream + whipped cream + strawberries + chocolates. It’s pretty, it’s big, it’s delicious, and it’s only $5.99! It takes a [...]

The last time I visited the Creme Brulee Cart was actually a couple of years ago when it was still pretty new and still in a cart. I wasn’t much of a fan then because their creme brulee was just way too sweet. I guess they’ve been rolling in the dough because now they’ve upgraded [...]

There’s a new honey toast cafe in town and it’s called Akiba. I went during their first day of opening and I have to say, this is the most Asian cafe I’ve ever been to. They got everything down from the decor (anime-ish theme) to the menu (coffee, Japanese crepes and honey toast) to the [...]

There are only a handful of really good Taiwanese restaurants in the Bay Area, or maybe not even a handful. The new restaurant in Fremont, Fusion House, is one of them. Some may even say the best. I wouldn’t say any specific dish was outstanding, but everything was good. I liked their: stinky tofu, beef [...]

Getting a seat at Wayfare Tavern isn’t the easiest thing to do, but it’s actually not too busy during a Saturday lunch. The menu is the same as their dinner menu, so if you don’t mind having your heavy full-on meal during the day, then check it out. Tyler Florence’s signature fried chicken is okay, [...]

I like the stinky tofu 臭豆腐 at Southland Flavor Cafe 台南風味小吃. It’s actually stinkier than some other places that I’ve tried, but it’s definitely not disgusting. They also have coffin bread 棺材板, which is hard to find around here. Boudin thinks they’re the only chowder bread bowl around? Well, Taiwan’s version is deep fried, which [...]

What I like about the Koreans’ version of shaved ice (patbingsu/팥빙수) is that they usually look way prettier than the Taiwanese version. It’s half food and half art. Snowice is probably the best Korean shaved ice that I’ve had, their ice being a lot finer than other places’. Their servings are huge, too! If you [...]

With all the different things we ate at Mama Chen 陳媽媽, all the pictures makes this post seem more like a food guide. Anyway, Mama Chen is the only woman in the city who can plaster a giant portrait of her face outside at the top of her restaurant because she owns the Taiwanese food [...]
