Irish style lager and Irish stout wort spun sorbet. Paired with SOMA coffee porter. Restaurant week dinner $40
Thirsty Bear, San Francisco CA
These sorbet were super bitter, especially the darker one which I could not enjoy. The lighter sorbet was bearable, but not by much. I like the coffee porter though.
Dark chocolate brownie, Humphrey Slocombe ice cream, chocolate sauce and nibs. Restaurant week lunch $15
Red Dog Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This ice cream sandwich was a bit hard (it could have benefited from a little more defrosting time), but it tasted great. The brownie was very difficult to cut through though.
Rum, espresso, mascarpone, chocolate. Restaurant week lunch with wine pairing $42
One Market Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts, and this was an elegant and delicious version. I could have done without the extra sauce on top though. Why add to an already yummy dessert? 🙂
Meyer lemon cake, olive oil lemon curd. $3.25
Moustache Baked Goods, Healdsburg CA
This was good, but I wanted more of the lemon curd. It was very pretty though and I liked the little white balls on top.
$5.50
Scoops, Rohnert Park CA
Ugh, the cashier charged me for a waffle cone. Does it look like my ice cream is in a waffle cone? Lame. And the ice cream wasn’t even good. It was too dense and heavy.
The Cheesecake Factory, San Francisco CA
My office got me a cheesecake for my birthday – they are so sweet! I told them I love tiramisu so they decided to combine to wonderful dessert and got this cheesecake as a surprise. It was very tasty. Thanks guys!

More desserts, yay! I certainly liked some more than others. The cookies and chocolate cake were decent, but the strawberry cake was super dry.
Chocolate cupcake, chocolate and nut cake, cheesecake, assorted cheeses, caper berries and olives. Complimentary in Executive Lounge
Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel, Beijing CHINA

I liked this cream puff. The cubes of fresh mango really made the difference. The puff was all more light and airy that their cocoa cookie puff which was a positive. Mmm…

How Sweet Bakery, Shanghai CHINA
This was decent, but nothing special. I liked that it wasn’t too sweet and the texture wasn’t too dense. It was just as expected.

Coming from San Francisco, I’m used to Beard Papa for cream puffs. This was a little different, but I thought it was pretty fun to eat with the crispy cookie coating. I thought the dough could have been lighter though.
