Must Eat Crispy Pata at Boracay Garden & Grill

March 28th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Filipino, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

Best crispy pata (deep fried pork leg) that I’ve had in a long, long time – at Boracay Garden & Grill in South San Francisco. The way it was fried was perfect. The was very thin and crispy, so it’s even good for people who don’t have many teeth left, with the pork fat still [...]

It’s a traditional mix of grilled meats (chicken, pork and beef) and sausages. All their meets came out nicely flavored, and even their chicken was very tender. The menu says [...]

Sisig at Ongpin in South San Francisco

March 7th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Filipino, Food / 1 Comment

One item that I always order at every Filipino restaurant I go to is their pork sisig. I’d have to say that Ongpin over in South San Francsico makes one of the better ones, especially if what you want is more meat and less grease. Actually, the food here seemed less greasier than other places. [...]

November 14th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Filipino, Food, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

I always go to Auntie Em’s Fine Foods & Pastries after eating at Karilagan since they’re right next door to each other. I always get their cheese rolls – a bit of a sugar rush but I love it there – and whatever other pastries they have. I also grabbed some of their polvoron: regular, [...]

Filipino Food for Dinner at Karilagan

November 13th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Filipino, Food / Leave A Comment

I wanted Filipino food for dinner because it’s been a while. Karilagan seems to be my default for dine-in Filipino food. I don’t know why dining out for Filipino food can cost so much, especially for a country that’s actually quite poor, but at least at Karilagan, portions are huge. Their pancit is always good, [...]

October 11th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Coffee & Drinks, Dessert, Food / Leave A Comment

I haven’t been to the original Eggettes in South San Francisco in years! It was about time I make a visit there. I had their green milk tea with pearls (珍珠奶綠), which tasted a little watered down, but the pearls were just right. I also had their coconut egg puffs (雞蛋仔), which came too soft [...]

I go to Grand Palace Sea Food Restaurant for dim sum every now and then. They usually have a lot of carts going around, and they have this one dish that I’ve never had anywhere else – radish cake cut up into cubes and pan fried with XO sauce. Unfortunately, there was a big party [...]

September 20th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Must Eat / 2 Comments

Every time I’m in South San Francisco I always have to get ice cream at Puddle of the Frogs. (Seriously, I’m not exagerrating.) There was a wait for lunch so I decided to get ice cream first. I love Mexican ice cream. Whenever I’m in Mexico, I’m always eating ice cream or paletas (popsicles) because [...]
