On the last evening of my dad’s visit, he treated S and I to Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ. Tsuruhashi has been on my bookmarks list for a while, and since Japanese BBQ is hard to find where my dad lives, he was happy to try it out. The restaurant is located in the Original Pancake House [...]
There are several food trucks that stop by my workplace for lunch – pretty much a different one everyday. However, I haven’t actually tried many of them because I usually bring my own lunch. Last week, though, I had the chance to try out one of my lab’s favorite trucks – Hoangie, the banh mi [...]
Friend’s House Korean is one of our frequently-visited restaurants, but it has never made its way to my blog. We visited for a late-night dinner on Saturday, and I finally remembered to take pictures. We usually refer to the restaurant as “Chingune,” its Korean name (according to S, anyway). But we have no idea if [...]
![[SD Point Loma] Phil's BBQ revisit](http://www.jinxieats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/P1010206-1-150x150.jpg)
I have been to Phil’s BBQ many times but never wrote a separate post for it. Also, ever since we discovered Coop’s, S and I haven’t really been back to Phil’s often. But last week, I had a busy day at work and came home too late and too tired to make dinner, and starving [...]
![[SD Kearny Mesa] Sieu Sieu BBQ](http://www.jinxieats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/P1010197-1-150x150.jpg)
One of my good friends has been telling me about Sieu Sieu BBQ ever since I posted about Sam Woo. He had high recommendations for the roast duck, which is one of my favorite things from Cantonese-style barbecue. A display case of Cantonese barbecue meats greeted us as we walked in, and the restaurant is [...]

It’s been a pretty long time since I’ve had good Cantonese barbecue. Ever since I started talking with my Cantonese stepfather about food, my standards have been rising… which can be a good or bad thing, I suppose. But anyway, I had a craving for Cantonese barbecue the other day, so SK and I went [...]

I was in Texas for my sister’s college graduation (congrats!!) and Mother’s Day, and of course, in addition to spending time with friends and family (and catching up on sleep), I enjoyed a lot of great food. Here I present to you some of my favorite meals from the week! Starting off with Chinese food: Warm [...]
![[Quick Post] Six-meat sampler at Coop's West Texas BBQ](http://www.jinxieats.com/wp-content/uploads/thumb-cache/c75a4c9e759b59dd9e83fa5d4f069eb5-1ebf577912b6261acf4d5b7c7e5f564c-150x112-75-nocrop.jpg)
This was so good. I can’t believe that I found such good Texas barbecue in San Diego. Read my full post on Coop’s here.

SK and I are pretty much always up for good barbecue. Sure, there’s the super famous Phil’s, and now we’ve discovered Coop’s… but I am always excited to try new places. Our friend MC first told us about Bull’s Smokin’ BBQ – he actually mostly raved about the cornbread. Well, I love cornbread, so we [...]

I had been eying Jong Ga House for quite some time before I finally had the chance to go for a friend W’s birthday celebration. Since I didn’t look at the menu or do any of the ordering, I’ll keep the post brief. I believe we had some sort of all-you-can-eat BBQ special, because W [...]
