All Saints

Finally!

I've been lusting this boots for so long, but these puppies dont really come in cheap. I pretty much sold my soul to the fashion devil when I made the purchase last saturday. 

S'mores

Fat kids convention!!!

We stopped by Sauce last night after grabbing a drink at Marlenas.

Their S'more is to-de-for and vanilla bean ice-cream is just yummers.

Lumpia

This is what I'm making on thursday. My mother used to have a small carinderia at the old Floridablanca public market and lumpiang shanghai is our best seller. 

Meatballs

this is what they feed me at work.
It feels like embracing love handles...

Brenda's

OMG! 

You guys have to try Brenda's French Soul Food. It's probably one of the best restaurant I have ever visited. 

yesterday, me, Vince and Victoria met for lunch since Victoria is flying back home to Russia earlier today. Vince has been raving about this restaurant for weeks and we finally got the chance to visit them and I'm telling you it is really good.

T

they don't take reservation and getting a table is kinda hard especially during lunch and dinner. During their rush hour, you have to write your name and how many people in this chalk board. 

We got seated 5 minutes after we arrive which was really fast provided it was lunch hour.

I can't wait to come back and bring my friend Chinky!

Here's what we order:

3 cups of gumbo

consist of chicken, sausage and okra

assorted beignets 

plain, chocolate, apple cinnamon and crawfish

pasta of the day 

fettucini with crab meat and garlic cream sauce

grillades & grits

beef cutlets braised in spicy gravy, served with grits & two eggs any style, plus cream biscuit or toast

2 cups of chicken etouffee

chicken smothered in spicy creole tomato gravy, serve with rice

Sauce

portobello mushrooms fries

I'm quite on the fence about this type of pomme frites. Basically it's breaded then deep fried and served  with some-type of ranch dressing. The texture is kind of weird though, since it's deep fried it gives you that crunchy feeling but once you bite into it the inside is  wet and slimy but in a good way. 

sliders served with onion rings

nothing to gush about this sliders but their onion rings are to-die-for though. 

Blue

rough morning hence the sushi served with wheat beer while preparing dinner for whoever wants to come over. cheers!!!

Crabby

I gave Anchor Oyster Bar a second chance few weeks ago. My first time visiting this place wasn't amusing at all. Me and my friend Ellen didn't felt the love back then but they have finally redeem themselves!

I got there around 1pm and there was just a 5 minute wait for a table which was awesome since I was starving.

I snag a table by the window and decided to have their crab burger with a cup of their famous clam chowder.

It was disgustingly good! The crab meat was so fresh and juicy and their clam chowder definitely hit the stop.

Final verdict:

The service has greatly improve and the food still as good as before.

would I go back? def. but I won't go out of my way to go there since the price is kind of pricey for the portion that they give you.

If your into good food but small portion, def. drop by on your way to the clubs on the Castro.

Ramen

It has been my little ritual or habit to eat Japanese food as soon as I get my pay check.

For some weird reason, enjoying Japanese cuisine has been like some type of detox that keeps me from losing my mind over work.

I found this cute little spot on Hayes Valley two weeks ago called O-Toro. It is very small and chic.

Plant

I change my bed sheet to orange and bought a plant.

doesn't it make my room more homey? It feels good sharing my room with another living creature.

Fat Kids

moi and gabby enjoying a fat kids dream dessert!


giant chocolate chip cookie ala mode.

yummers!

O3

Few nights ago, the gang and I stopped by at this very cute but overrated bistro & lounge. It used to be the California Pizza Kitchen. The place is super chic. They have nice couch that has comfortable throw pillows.

I had me a cucumber martini that tastes quite like a combination between cucumber and honeydew. It taste quite good but the it smells like astringent. lol!

Audrey

Presenting... my new room!

I got me some new sheets, pillows and comforters. 

And Oh! Ms. Audrey Hepburn!!!
