It’s been a while since I last posted anything about Sandbox Bakery, but I’m still a huge fan. I just had their fried chicken rice burger. It’s a play off of Japan’s fast food chain, MOS Burger, but better. (Well, it better be if it’s gonna be $6, right?) I didn’t get it fresh out [...]

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, [...]

The hoedeopbap (spicy sashimi salad) is one of my favorite Korean dishes, so I always try to seek it out everywhere, especially since it’s not very common. Sudachi is one of the few places in San Francisco that offers it. I first had it a couple years ago when Sudachi first opened and I wasn’t [...]

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 [...]

Just had lunch at Wayfare Tavern for Anita’s birthday (Happy Birthday Anita!) and we all loved it. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the foie gras was, well, let’s just say the duck’s miserable life left four people happy. The steak and eggs was very comforting, the burger being one of the [...]

The more I visit 5A5 Steak Lounge, the more I love it. I just went for happy hour. My favorite is their Kobe beef sliders. How many places let’s you choose how well/rare you want your sliders cooked? Their truffle fries – always a good choice. Oyster shooters with diced watermelon at the bottom of [...]
