Just gotta say, I’m lovin’ the pizza at Specchio. Everyone likes their pizza in their own way. Me? I like it really thin, really crispy, and with really good ingredients on top. I had their scamorza and speck pizza. Specchio changes their menu regularly, so something they have today might not be there next month, [...]

I like Gourmet Village over at Millbrae. It seemed like everyone only spoke Cantonese, i.e, no English, but whatever … as long as the food is good, I’m happy. I liked everything that they serve. I was thinking that their stir-fried house special dish of vegetables would end up somewhat greasy, but it wasn’t. They [...]

The chirashi bowl is what I typically like to order at Japanese restaurants. It’s the best of all worlds when it comes to raw fish because it comes with a bit of everything. The fish at Izakaya Mai was fresh – not super fresh, but fresh enough for what it’s worth. I also really liked [...]

I know that a lot of people are big fans of PPQ Dungeness Island Vietnamese Cuisine over on Clement and 25th, but I haven’t really been impressed with it until this past weekend when I went there for lunch for my brother’s birthday. I’ve gone there a few other times before for dinner on the [...]

I like random hole-in-the-wall family-owned Taiwanese restaurants because they always have the best service. I went into Formosa Bento House in Redwood City with my mom just 15 min before closing and planned to eat really fast so we wouldn’t hold them up from leaving, but another family came in right after and were welcomed [...]

Who woulda guessed that there’s an Asian plaza in the small city of Gilroy? The plaza is pretty big, but it’s also pretty empty, as most of its real estate is still vacant. One of it’s occupants, though, is Tapioca Express. My green milk tea (奶綠) was too sweet, but as the only milk tea [...]

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 [...]

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 pork is very tender and juicy, the bread is crunchy and soft, and the chutney adds the right amount of sweetness to the [...]

There’s a new Hakka restaurant in town and it’s been getting rave reviews. What better way to eat there than for a birthday – that means go all out! I decided to take my family to Hakka Restaurant in the Outer Richmond for my mother’s birthday. This was probably one of the best Chinese meals [...]
