Back to blogging...

Another weekend going by. Although the weekend has been rainny, but it's filled with comfort food and dessert...mm...crepe with ice cream at Japantown.

Celebration and Food

I have too much food this weekend. Delicious food and with great company. That was a great weekend.

Lunch at Cha Cha Cha- seafood paella and fried calamari.

Dinner at Izakaya Sozai - Japanese tapas and ramen, one of the best I have in SF.

       

And some shopping.

Beginning to enjoy the holiday!

As soon as I walked out of the classroom after taking my last final, it started to feel like Christmas! Well...more like, I'm much more in mood for the holiday spirit now that I'm on break from school (though not from work).

Especially after today's Xmas lunch for work at Gary Danko's, I'm even more bubbly with holiday spirit! Xmas is one of my favorite holidays. I just enjoy the festivity, gatherings with family and friends, the holiday sales, the feeling of bundling up in the chilly weather while sipping my peppermint mocha...

And of course, holiday with delicious food! My favorite at the Xmas lunch: Macarons ice cream sandwiches: pumpkin, raspberry, and patassio...

Mmm...it's too obvious I'm a sweet-tooth huh??
Hope everyone's holiday is filled with good company and delicious food and sweets!

food gravings

Had some of the weirdest cravings from nowhere. The other day I wanted corn nuts (as I haven't had those since...college days??) And now today, I was craving for macarons...

and got some from miette.

I love stopping by miette everytime I'm at the ferry building just to look at the pretty displays and lovely vintage packaging!

just lovely packaging for mints!

Farmer's Market

one of the best parts about working near the ferry building: the farmer's market every Tuesday and Thurday. not just organic or home-grown fruits and veggies but also good food!

Mmm...Creme Brulee. lavendar flavored. from the Creme Brulee Cart!! the BEST creme brulee I ever had.

Homemade sorbet - hazelnut and raspberry

Roli Roti - a rotisserie in a mobile! They also have the great pork sandwich (with crispy pork skin) that I have yet to try next week! I wonder how long I would need to jog to get rid of those fat and calories....

weekend of catch up

My weekend was lovely meeting and catching up with old friends over a cup of hot chocolate at my favorite local coffee house. Friends from high school and college, to be precise.

It was nice but sad to realize how old we are in our mid-twenties after reminiscing and talking about the high school and college days. Actually, I also went to middle school with one of them! So that's even more than an ancient decade ago! And just to think that high school reunion will be in just about 5 years...gosh!

And like time, the weekend flew by as well. But thank goodness I'm greeted with sunny and blue sky this morning.

Hopefully, it'll be sunny and blue sky everyday. That'll help get me through the week at least. Have a good week!

Blue Danube Coffee

I found a local Blue Danube coffee shop in my neighborhood today. Awesome and stylish place to hang out or to enjoy some alone time. They have Mexican hot chocolate that I have yet to try next time!

The single shot of Michatto was pretty strong... suddenly reminded me of a show I watched in which the main character said, "most of the time life gives you a cup of dark, bitter coffee, but you can always add some sugar, or milk to it...it's pretty much how you make it taste better." Mm... very true!

End of the week...

I was planning to go on a more healthy diet after the BBQ/oysters weekend but I guess I'm not starting this week. I would think I'd eat more when I get stressed out. But I probably ate as much when I have the free time and more breaks at work...

Had for lunch today: "Diana's special meat pie", Hunan cuisine but tasted very American-like: fried pancakes sandwiching lettuce and tasty minced pork.

And for dessert few days ago...Madeline's cakes for afternoon tea with coworkers! Yum...

I should seriously make myself run and exercise this weekend after all those calories intake...

Oysters Weekend!

Had such a nice weekend at Tomales Bay! Almost didn't want to get up to work today (which was foggy cold in SF.)

Barbeque and oyster feast! Had so much food...I probably ate at every hour. Guess it's time to go on a diet?!

Loving Fridays!

Yay! It's Friday again!

Easy week this week...ended with happy hour: pesto nan with pimm's and amber rose cocktail

Happy weekends!

Yea for Fridays!

I had this yummy BLT sandwich and garlic fries for lunch today...great comfort food to end this week. The opposite set is what my co-worker had: cheeseburger and sweet potato fries! mmm...not to be gross but I still have the garlic taste in my mouth as I'm writing.

What did you have for lunch today?

Food Week!

I've eaten out a lot over this week....

My fro-yo, as usual every week.


This time is blueberry tart, colorful mochi, cheesecake bits, strawberries, lychee poppers, and strawberry-flavored flowery and chocolate sprinkles...mmm...

then buttery, flaky, warm apple turnover...


Dinner at one of my favorite Japanese restaurants...yummy sushi rolls and Nabeyaki Udon

"Bob's" on the left, "Ms. Vivian" on the right...yes, they are names of the rolls.

Well, I didn't take pictures of everything I ate.
I think I've gotten a little fatter, my wallet's a little thinner...

Ice Cream Weekend!

Hot weather weekend! Had so much ice cream this weekend...home-made ice cream and strawberries...pretty made up my fro-yo-less for the last 2 weeks!

Fro-yo Friday

Currently addicted to fro-yo!

There's a couple of fro-yo places around work and this is the best I've had so far...Practically, I have to have fro-yo every week.

Apple-tart flavor fro-yo, mochi, cheesecake bits, strawberries, mango, kiwi, strawberry-flavored and chocolate sprinkles...mmm...yum!!
