Who likes Wong Fu? I like Wong Fu! A couple of years back I had participated in a show called ISA TV Game Show. My friend signed us up and we saw Phil in person! Well, technically he was on stage and we were part of the audience, but we were in the same room! 🙂 Imagine my excitement when I heard they opened a … Continue reading BOPOMOFO
I’m not very into sweet things- and dare I say this- I don’t like boba. However, I have nothing against cute reusable bottles and fruit teas. This brings us to my favorite tea spot.

To our shock, after visiting 3 locations, all RW … Continue reading Roasting Water
After a nearly four month hiatus, I am back~ It has been so busy with work that I had no time for extracurricular activities (like updating my blog)..

She is extremely health conscious and … Continue reading Green Tomato Grill 🍅

This place had an extremely … Continue reading Brunch and Dessert @ SAN FRANCISCO

Jan 9. I have heard many great things about this place and their clam chowder bread bowl. But sometimes you just don’t want to follow the hype– you want to be a little bit rebellious… Well, despite the years racing by, people still go to Boudin so I guess it was time for me to give in and try the clam chowder. The last time … Continue reading Boudin SF

Came here on a rainy evening with Nancy who was craving soba noodles. As we approached the door, we knew we would have a long wait. There was a lot of people waiting during prime dinner time. Although there was a wait, it did not feel like we waited that long compared to waiting for a Chinese dimsum restraurant on the weekend. The food was … Continue reading Izakaya Takasei
One day my coworker and I were talking about leek dumplings and somehow the conversation took a turn and we ended up talking about noodles. Other than chicken, my next favorite food is noodles. It doesn’t matter if its stir fried, wok fried, or instant. I could eat noodles all day every day. So when my coworker told me about 101 Noodle Express, I had … Continue reading 101 Noodle Express 鲁味居
