The Tuttimelon in Chinatown/North Beach reopened this weekend, now as a self-serve frozen yogurt shop and as a hybrid store along with Tea Way, i.e., they now offer pearl milk tea drinks and fried snacks. They also still serve gelato (since they also used to be Yoogo Gelato). They were offering free frozen yogurt today [...]

This was my first time having savory items at Patisserie Philippe, but I wasn’t surprised at all at how good they were since they know how to do pastries right. I really liked their quiche lorraine (quiche with bacon and onions). It was light and not too salty. Just right. Their other savory pastry that [...]

I haven’t been to Sandbox Bakery ever since I left for vacation. Nothing has changed – everything is still good. This time, I tried their blueberry bread pudding. It’s one of the best bread puddings I’ve had. It’s lighter than when I get it at other American bakeries, yet it’s still very moist, and most [...]

We had brunch at Bushi-Tei Bistro. This place never impressed me much – all show and no go – but they do offer a great lunch special: your choice of ramen and a choice of another item. I went with their chicken karaage ramen with a chirashi bowl. It was not bad, and the side [...]

I think I’ve just discovered a new favorite drink of mine: the jasmine green milk tea frappe at Mango Medley. It’s like drinking a jasmine green milk tea but with blended ice that’s not too thick or crunchy that you’d have to actually bite it after drinking. Very refreshing!

I just had a great dinner at Tribu Grill for my birthday – it’s still kinda early but I’ll take it!) – thanks to Jessica, Jann, Mae, Steve and Veronica. Great service. My favorite was their binagoongan fried rice. It’s always too salty for me elsewhere.
Everything was good though: their lumpiang Shanghai (kinda small, though), [...]
I don’t really care much for frozen yogurt since I’m more of an ice cream guy, but I still had to try out Fraiche Yogurt since it’s new, popular, and we were in the neighborhood. I just had a small cup of their regular, fat-free natural frozen yogurt. Veronica went for their pomegranate. They were [...]

We had brunch at Fresca on Fillmore to celebrate Veronica’s birthday. Most of us ordered off their brunch menu since it’s only available during the weekends. I went with their huevos en cazuela, which had two baked eggs with shrimps, mushrooms, spinach, lobster sauce, potatoes and jack cheese. I’ve never had anything like it before [...]

I only had two meals today. Crazy! I feel so fit since I went running after lunch and worked out before dinner.
Lunch at Ngoc Mai Restaurant with the church folks. I had my usual – bun bo hue.
Dinner with Linda at Drunken Sushi. We had our usual – hoedeopbap – or what they like to [...]
Lunch today was not very healthy, but all those calories were definitely worth it. After church, we went straight to Phat Philly since none of them (Steve, Jann, Mae and Veronica) have been there before, and I’ve been raving about it since forever. They all enjoyed it. I went with their Italian beef sandwich this [...]
