Taiwanese Food at Southland Flavor Cafe 台南風味小吃 in Cupertino

May 6th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Taiwan / Leave A Comment

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 [...]

Must Eat Shaved Ice at Snowice

May 6th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Must Eat / 2 Comments

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 [...]

Takoyaki at Takoyaki Samurai

One of my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Honolulu is Takoyaki Samurai. I like it so much that I went twice in one day. The first time was to try their acai bowl, which was good, and the second was to try everything else, including what they’re known for – takoyaki. Their takoyaki was not bad. [...]

Hot Dogs at Puka Dog

“Puka” means hole, so a puka dog from Puka Dog involves stabbing a hole into the hotdog bun with a hot metal spike, thereby toasting the inside of the bun, then stuffing it with sauces and the hotdog. It’s a hot concept, but not so hot dog. In the end, you get a cool looking [...]

Misu Cakes at Satura Cakes

It seems that you just can’t go wrong with any of the misu cakes at Satura Cakes. I’m a fan of Satura Cakes so I had to visit at least one of them while in Hawaii. I ordered their mangomisu for a fresh and fruity taste, and a chocolate konamisu (coffee) for something a little [...]
