I was craving an icy treat the other day (okay, specifically snowflake ice), so S and I stopped by Angels & Hearts Harajuku Crêperie after dinner (unsurprisingly, at Tea Garden). I’ve read about this place from several other bloggers, including Kirbie and CC, and I was looking forward to trying the snowflake ice. The [...]
S and I don’t really like to drive out to PB to eat because there’s usually traffic, and parking isn’t easy to find. But a few weeks ago, since I was already there for the SD Food Bloggers’ Bake Sale, we decided to grab lunch afterwards with a couple of friends who came to the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
S and I love “Americanized” sushi rolls, complete with the spicy mayo and cream cheese and BBQ eel sauce and whatnot. Our favorite place for sushi here is Sushi Diner – the rolls there are so creative, and all of them (that we’ve tried so far) are delicious. However, recently we heard about Nozomi Sushi [...]
In Berkeley, there is no shortage of good Indian food. Some of my favorites include Khana Peena, Vik’s Chaat (website), and Flavors of India (website), and there were so many others that I hadn’t tried or explored. After moving to San Diego, I get periodic cravings for Indian food, and while S’s favorite is the [...]
S and I recently enjoyed a date night at Sora, a Japanese-Italian restaurant in downtown San Diego. Our previous experience with Japanese-Italian food was at Ristorante Kaz, the sister restaurant of Izakaya Sakura. Normally, this would be a bit too nice for us to visit without a special occasion, but thanks to Google Offers we [...]
When S and I are looking a quick Asian meal, our usual stop is Tea Garden on Convoy St. They have decent Taiwanese dishes – I’m particularly fond of the crispy chicken, Taiwanese sausage, and fried rice, in addition to the milk teas and brick toast. However, Tea Garden is temporarily closing for a few [...]
Having spent a good part of my life in the South and Texas, I get ridiculous cravings for fried chicken. In North Carolina, my favorite fried chicken chain restaurant was Bojangles, which had crispy, juicy, flavorful fried chicken and yummy biscuits. If I had known that good fried chicken would be so difficult to find [...]
Tajima Ramen House is one of those places that S and I frequent, since it opens til pretty late and is quite friendly on the budget. (Also, they offer a 10% student discount for weekday dinner – yay for poor-student perks!) I know that quite a few people actually don’t like Tajima, but we actually [...]
