The most popular dish at San Tung Chinese Restaurant has always been their dry fried chicken wings, but personal favorite of mine is their cold noodles, which in Chinese is literally translated to and is called “liang mian” (涼麵). Cold noodles always gives me a refreshing feeling, plus I love the peanut sauce that they [...]

Every place makes their French macarons differently. If you like it chewy and filled, filled with buttercream, and not dosed with artificial coloring, check out Miette Confiserie in Hayes Valley or in any of the Miette stores in San Francisco. It’s another San Francisco treat! Neighborhood: Hayes Valley 449 Octavia Street San Francisco, CA 94101 [...]

In the end, there were only a couple that we really liked: the peach cupcake, which was moist and had actual chunks of peaches baked into the cake, and the strawberry cupcake, [...]

Susan, Lisa, Helen, Deric and I grabbed brunch at Aperto Restaurant in Potrero Hill. I went for their eggs benedict, which I thought sounded different in a good way since it used focaccia bread instead of the usual English muffin, but it just felt regular to me – not bad, but nothing special. What I [...]

We celebrated Lisa’s birthday in the Marina at MatrixFillmore during the first half of the night, then at Circa. Our goal was to get her drunk, which probably wasn’t such a great idea since she ended up yacking during the drive back home. (My poor Prius!) Happy birthday Lisa!

My arrival back to LA from Taiwan kicked off with lunch at C&O Trattoria in Venice. Susan took us here. The last time she took me here was about four years ago (?) when we had a big gathering. My favorite is their complimentary garlic bread balls. They’re so addicting and filling.

No trip to SoCal is ever complete for me without having some milk tea. Our last stop before heading to LAX airport was Cha for Tea, one of my favorites. I went with my usual – green milk tea. It never fails.

After hanging out with Mae, Linda and I took the SoCalers and friends to eat dinner at Burma Superstar. Burma Superstar is the #1 most requested restaurant to eat at when I take out of towners around. We were so stuffed after eating here. We went to Twin Peaks next to take some pictures. We [...]

My Friday night consisted of two things: Dinner with Carol at the Sausage Factory (I know it sounds funny, but I guess it would make more sense if you knew it’s an Italian restaurant) in the Castro and karaokeing with the SoCalers at Music Tunnel KTV in the East Bay. I had the stuffed manicotti [...]
