Tempura fried yellowtail stuffed shiitake with soy sauce, wasabi aioli and sweet chili sauce. Happy hour $6.50
Tsunami, San Francisco CA
I think this was my least favorite dish at Tsunmani. The shiitake was too thick and clunky, and the yellowtail became undiscernible against all the other flavors.
Shredded napa cabbage, carrots, red peppers, mandarin oranges, caramelized almonds, cilantro, green onions, wontons and grilled chicken tossed in soy-ginger vinaigrette. $13
Escena Lounge & Grill, Palm Springs CA
Wow, this was like a huge Asian chopped salad! And a very good one at that. I loved the perfect combination of all the different textures and flavors.
The view from our table – absolutely beautiful!
Five white meat chicken tenders fried and served with honey bbq sauce. $8
Lookout, San Francisco CA
These were probably straight out of a frozen bag, but I must admit that they were pretty tasty! I guess fried food always tastes good when you’re drinking with friends, hehe.
With pickled ginger, crispy wonton, seaweed, and wasabi. Happy hour $8.49
Lulu California Bistro, Palm Springs CA
This was another decent dish. The tuna quality wasn’t the best, but at least they tried to make the plate interesting. There was definitely plenty to eat.
Bud Light beer and bar snack mix.
Hunters, Palm Springs CA
I have a guilty pleasure when I’m traveling. I’m kind of addicted to that bar trivia game called Buzztime, lol! I never play it at home, but bars across the nation have this video-based game so I tend to end up at one to play. I think it’s super fun! 😉
Mr. Rex, Cabazon Dinosaurs, Interstate 10. I’ve always wanted to visit these guys ever since I saw them in the movies “The Wizard” and “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”! Hehe
Crisp, freshly prepared daily tortilla chips covered with seasoned beef, hearty beans, warm nacho cheese sauce, diced ripe tomatoes, and reduced-fat sour cream. 430 calories, 23g fat
Taco Bell, Palm Springs CA
OK, this is why I’m definitely NOT a foodie. I love me some Taco Bell after a night of partying, lol! I always drench my nachos supreme in a bunch of Fire sauce and go to town!
Chef’s choice 8 pieces – salmon, albacore, maguro, hamachi. Happy hour $9.50
Tsunami, San Francisco CA
I loved presentation of this dish and the fish quality was really good especially considering it was half price for happy hour! I would definitely order this again.
Garnished with olives, lemon, lime, and celery. $8
Escena Lounge & Grill, Palm Springs CA
We came here for a late lunch after a morning of shopping and we were surprised how nice it was. It’s just down the road from the PS house, so it was nice to discover a new nearby place to eat and relax. It was super sunny on the patio so this bloody mary was welcomed! It was on the large side and very tasty – score!
Escena Golf Club. With a view like this, you can’t help but eat and enjoy yourself.
Made fresh to order with tortilla chips. $8
Lookout, San Francisco CA
The guacamole was surprisingly good as random bar food goes. I was afraid that it would come premade from a bag, but it does appears like they made in on site. Hmm, now pass me another drink! Hehe.

Minced chicken, water chestnut, crispy noodles, and sprouts served with lettuce wraps. Happy hour $7.49
Lulu California Bistro, Palm Springs CA
This wasn’t the best chicken lettuce wrap I’ve ever had. In fact, it was just marginal. But the price was great and the fun, hip atmosphere at Lulu helps to make up for the mediocre food.
Driving towards Morongo Valley, Twentynine Palms Highway.
Rose Kennedy cocktails (vodka, cranberry, splash of soda). Complimentary
Red Carpet Club, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Yay, flying off for another weekend trip to Palm Springs! It’s great to be able to easily leave The City for warmer weather. It definitely recharges me and calms me down.

One southern fried chicken breast and one sweet potato waffle served with sweet cream whipped butter and warm home made brown sugar syrup. $10.54
Gussie’s Chicken and Waffles, San Francisco CA
Hmm, this was such a disappoinment! The chicken was way overcooked and the waffle was limp and lifeless! The service was super slow so maybe this was just waiting under the heat lamp so long that it dried out more than it should have.
I could barely cut through some of the chicken pieces because it was SO overcooked! If there was any flavor in this chicken, I couldn’t taste any of it because it was hard as a rock.
