Spa collins: gin, basil, mint, cucumber, orange, citrus, ginger beer. $11
Chambers Eat and Drink, San Francisco CA
I loved brunch cocktails, especially when they’re expertly made. These cocktails were ok. The Spa Collins was on the tart side and the Bloody Mary was on the bland side. I did really enjoy the Lucky Lemonade though!

Bloody mary: the traditional favorite made with house sambal and vodka. $9
Combination of sliced pork, smoke pork kabobs, pork chop and pork spare ribs. Served with rice, bean sprouts and kimchee. $15.95
Hahn’s Hibachi, San Francisco CA
From the elaborate description on their menu, I actually thought there was gonna be more meat, lol! This was ok. I guess I was looking for volume and not necessarily quality when I order this.

McDonald’s, South San Francisco CA
The weather was overcast and it created a cool glossy effect on the pic. These little sundaes are another cheat item for me, but I don’t get them very often. Hehe.
With bacon, sweet onion and jalapeno, served with rice. $17
Region, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors in this dish, but it was definitely on the salty side and the tiger prawns were overcooked. I’m not surprised…

Noms, this little sundae was frickin’ delicious! Every component was perfect individually and when combined tasted like a piece of heaven in your mouth. Bravo, Nojo!

With cream cheese icing. 10-inch $9.99
Costco, South San Francisco CA
We had this during an office party and I have to say that I’m satisfied with the cakes from Costco. They’re always moist and full of flavor. And, really, can you complain when there’s cream cheese frosting? Lol!
Delicious mixture of veggies cooked to order in Hahn’s special spicy sauce. Served with rice, bean sprouts and kimchee. $8.95
Hahn’s Hibachi, San Francisco CA
Hmm, this was just ok – really nothing special. I chose the spicy sauce option and there wasn’t any heat despite the presence of chili flakes.

Kitchen Story, San Francisco CA
Wow, talk about decadence and a heart unhealthy meal! This was delicious though and worth every heart-clogging calorie. Lol!

Tossed with homemade potato chips. $17
Region, San Francisco CA
This was another first for me – Mongolian beef with potato chips. Most Mongolian beef dishes come with the fried noodles that add a crispy texture, but these had potato chips. They were only somewhat crispy because the sticky sauce had soften them a bit. Believe it or not, I found this dish oddly amazing! Perhaps it’s because of the fact that I was eating potato chips with my entree. I felt guilty and happy at once.
Ocean Beach, Great Highway.
Tare. $3.50
Nojo, San Francisco CA
Chicken neck – did I read that correctly?! Of course I had to order it. It was the thin muscle lining around the neck that they fold together and grill. It tasted like normal chicken meat with more connective tissue attached, but I just think it’s cool that it was from the neck.
Accordion gate, Mission Street.
Housemade bacon, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and sriracha aioli served on a toasted pain de mie bun. $13
Grub, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this burger was pretty tasty! It was well cooked and had lots of flavor. I loved the soft, toasted pain de mie and the thick slices of bacon. The sriracha aioli could’ve had more kick though.
