This month, Travel + Leisure has published a wonderful slideshow of “America’s Best Margaritas” on their website. Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant represents for San Francisco on the list, and my pic of their margarita has been included! Tommy’s is kind of famous for their margaritas so I’m honored that they used my pic (even though it’s kinda dark, hehe). 🙂
Tiger prawns cooked in olive oil, garlic, chorizo and white wine. 480 PHP
Epic, Boracay PHILIPPINES
Wow, this was our first meal in Boracay and it was an awesome choice! These gambas were delicious and super tender. I loved the chorizo sauce and dumped most of my garlic rice in there to soak it all up. I also like the flatware and presentation. Welcome to Boracay!

Deep fried lumpia with pork filling and served with sweet chili sauce. 280 PHP
White Moon Bar, Manila PHILIPPINES
These were actually labeled “spring rolls” on the menu which is totally weird since we’re in the Philippines! I think everyone knows what lumpia is. Anyway, these were super thin so they didn’t have much filling. It was like eating rolled up, fried lumpia wrappers. Lame. And the sweet chili sauce was straight from the bottle.

Minced beef burger with shredded cheese, onion, lettuce, and tomato. Served with French fries. 99,000 VND
Sisters Cafe, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM
We were very good, and this was the only hamburger we had during our entire Ho Chi Minh trip and we even waited til the final day. Yay! It was decent, but they could’ve melted the cheese a bit. The fries were pretty good though.
Saigon Green beer. Bottle 19,000 VND
