I had a chance for a quick getaway with the family to Honolulu, HI from 2/29 to 3/4. Fly in, eat some new grub and fly back out. Ok, there was more to it than that. It was Anna’s grandma’s 90th birthday celebration and everyone who is anyone was flying back for it! During my...
A few co-workers wanted to hit ramen for lunch but I was a bit busy with a few things at work so declined. However, I was curious where they were going given there are no decent ramen places near work. So I asked. And when they said, “Ramen Underground”, I was in. It’s located along...
Happy New Year Everyone! I’ve been dying for dungeness crab ever since the local crab season started back at the end of November. The opportunity presented itself NYE so took full advantage of it. I hadn’t been to PPQ forever so was excited to try it again. Parking in this neighborhood is a nightmare so...
Alright I’m a little behind in writing my posts. I should have a few more recipes to post soon (I’ve been testing a number of Chinese recipes) but in the meantime, here’s something to look forward to the next time you head to Honolulu. This is from our late September Honolulu trip so not the...
On our recent October trip to Vancouver, we had a free night go out for dinner. I’ve been wanting to try Kingyo Izakaya for a long while so we headed over to Denman. Unfortunately, we got to the restaurant and it was packed. The wait was well over a hour and although my parents were...
I’m finally getting around to blogging about my late September trip to Hawaii which was awesome. First off, every day we were there it was 86F with one day almost hitting 90F. Sunny. Blue water. Beach. Humid. Hot. Real Hot. Loved it. And so did the family. We got in around noon which is perfect...
Freedom. I had a free Thursday which was made even better because it was super warm and sunny out. I had arranged to meet my friend for lunch at 12:15pm in front of HRD Cafe. I got there a few minutes before and was braced for a huge line based on reviews I had read....
I was getting my haircut last month and I asked everyone there what their favorite Chinese BBQ place was in SF. To-date mine was Win’s on Taraval. A customer piped up that Cheung Hing on Noriega was one of the best. But she also thought Ming Kee “somewhere on Ocean” had the best soy sauce chicken...
Anna’s mum was in town over July 4th weekend so we were able to leave the kids with her and go out on a rare “date night”! Problem was we didn’t know where to go. I had done a little bit of research beforehand but the places I wanted to try were difficult to get...
Win’s is the best Chinese BBQ place I know of in San Francisco. They cover the typical food dish categories like “chicken”, beef”, “pork”, “congee”, “braised noodles”, “yee mein”, “chow mein and chow fun” but I think the best thing they have is the BBQ meats. I’ve eaten in countless times and do takeout from...
