Continuing my Vietnamese pho restaurant adventure, I wandered off to this place in a middle of a shopping-heavy area, tucked near a corner of a strip mall. I was hungry, so here I was. Also continuing with my veggie diet from Thanksgiving withdraw, I tried their “Pho Kong Thit” or “Vegetables Only (Without Meat)”. Well, [...]
Another big meal after Thanksgiving. How so? All-you-can-year meat! …And salad bar. But it’s all about the meat here, cooked Brazilian style! Nice place. From their salad bar: Veggies on top left, roasted corn at top right, prosciutto ham at bottom left, and Brazilian crepe (or as I call it, “Brazilian Lasagna”). All taste fresh [...]
The day after Thanksgiving. After spending time with family, it’s time to spend some time with friends, starting with brunch. One of them recommended this place. One of their popular items: Gingerbread pancakes! Their brunch menu. Since they are known for their gingerbread pancakes, gotta get that with maple syrup. That poach pear and its [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner at my dad’s house is always a treat. My stepmother Martha Ruth not only prepares a delicious meal, but she also decorates the dining room and table to fit the occasion. All of the traditional southern Thanksgiving favorites: turkey and dressing with giblet gravy, carrots, green beans, broccoli casserole, a small portion of [...]
I love hole-in-the-wall restaurants. There are many in San Francisco, this being one of them, which serves organic sausages. Gotta love California and its eating habits! Also this place is opened by Asian American with a “green” business model. Gotta love California and its culture! Small, but has everything you need to enjoy your organic [...]
A new Asian-Western restaurant opened near my neighborhood, where a crawfish joint used to be. Off I go! Their menu. I ordered the Sampan congee (rice porridge), containing peanuts, Chinese donut, green onions, pork rinds, stomach, intestines, and shrimp. Even though their service was slow and inconsistent, fortunately they made up for it with this [...]
Instead of going to the same Japanese restaurant for lunch, decided to come here instead. Hmmm… The line doesn’t look promising. Unfortunately I see why. There were only two people who were working and took them about 10 minutes to prepare and serve my lunch. I got the chicken udon, and man was that underwhelming! [...]
I remember my first taste of Filipino fast food. And this place was it. Basically if McDonald’s and KFC had a baby, Jollibee would be the result. I ordered the “Big Yum” burger with fries and Diet Pepsi. First off, the Diet Pepsi was horrible. I think someone didn’t follow the instructions. The fries were [...]
