Cream Cheese Brownies
During my college days, I had a friend, A, who always had some sort of baked good with him, at all times. (And for you guys out there who need some motivation to get into baking, he was usually accompanied by at least one girl. Hehe.) Brownies, key lime pie, lemon bars… you name it, [...]
Piatti La Jolla
A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated S’s birthday! He asked me to choose the restaurant, so I thought we could try out Piatti, a little Italian restaurant in La Jolla. I had been there once and thought the food was pretty good, and we gathered up some good friends for a little celebration. The [...]
Bao’s Awesome Burgers & Sandwiches (BABS)
S and I love burgers, and luckily for us, San Diego is filled with awesome burger joints. Our favorite is Hodad’s, but sometimes we just want to avoid the long lines and sort-of far drive. We recently tried out Bao’s Awesome Burgers & Sandwiches, aka BABS, on Convoy St. It’s located in the A Cafe/ [...]

Lemon Angel Food Cupcakes
A friend of mine recently had a baby, and we were invited to celebrate her “Full Moon” or one-month birthday, per Chinese tradition. I decided to bring some cupcakes and thought that angel food cake would be perfect to celebrate their little angel. Originally I had planned to make a frosting as well, but I [...]
Tea Garden Grand Re-opening
In March, Tea Garden closed temporarily to move to a new location. S was quite distraught since it was his favorite place and most-frequently-visited place before I moved to San Diego. (Actually, even after moving to SD, it’s probably been our most-frequently-visited place.) Even though the food isn’t amazing, we like the homestyle and simple [...]
Tender Greens
S and I went on a spontaneous date last Thursday – normally we play badminton after work until 9:30 or so, and then have a late dinner somewhere. As we were going home from work, I mentioned that I had to go to the UTC Westfield mall to pick up my CSA box from the [...]
Project Pie
Project Pie is a fast-casual, customize-your-own pizza restaurant. The first location was in Las Vegas, and they recently opened up another shop in Hillcrest. I was really intrigued because many people have called it the Chipotle or Subway of pizza, where you can choose all the toppings you want for pizza. After reading the posts [...]
Solace & the Moonlight Lounge brunch
One of my favorite brunch places in San Diego is Urban Solace – I really love the flavors and ingredients there. It’s slightly heavier than many other popular brunch spots (e.g. The Cottage), but S and I tend to like that more. So, when I saw the Kirbie’s Cravings post on its sister restaurant in Encinitas, [...]
Sushi Diner
After eating at Nozomi, S and I decided that our favorite place for sushi rolls is still Sushi Diner. Which meant… well, we had to go to Sushi Diner. Haha. It has been a while since we’ve paid a visit, anyway. We arrived around 8pm on a Monday night, which meant no wait for a [...]
