Fridays are perfect for enjoying a filling breakfast – it’s the end of a long week and right before the weekend. Why not stop for a quick treat before heading to the last classes of the week? After nearly four years, I finally had the chance to eat at Saul’s Restaurant & Delicatessen, located on …
During my day trip to Napa Valley, my friends and I took a lunch break after visiting a couple of wineries. Naturally, we’d heard some great things about Bouchon, so we decided to try it out before continuing our winery stops. Bouchon is a traditional French bistro offering seafood, steak, sandwiches, and much more amazingly-cooked …
My friends and I spent the past weekend at Tahoe. We had a blast snowboarding and chilling, but we had just a good a time exploring and discovering new eateries in the area. Fire Sign Cafe is a family-run business (since 1978!) located in Tahoe City, close to Homewood Mountain Ski Resort. It was brunch …
For all you seafood lovers out there, this one’s for you! I really enjoy living in Berkeley – it’s a vibrant and unique place with tons of great restaurants, attractions, and people. But one thing I find myself missing from time to time is seafood, particularly the restaurants that serve them by the pound in …
I’d like to share a hidden gem of a restaurant in Berkeley. It’s located a bit further west, on San Pablo Ave, but it’s definitely bus-able and would be well worth your time to try at least once. Good meat is a special treat, after all – especially when served in heaping portions and slathered …
It’s very natural for me to draw parallels between SoCal and NorCal eateries, since the former is my birthplace and the latter my adopted home. This especially rings true with Asian food, which is huge in certain parts of the LA area as well as the Bay Area. Sheng Kee Bakery to me is the …
Alameda is a small island next to Oakland and is quite a nice area to explore, shop, and eat. Just ten minutes away from Berkeley by car, this city boasts tons of restaurants, chains and mom-and-pops alike. Last week, I grabbed dinner with my team at a delicious Mexican restaurant. La Penca Azul, as it’s …
I’m always excited to find great restaurants in Berkeley, especially ones that are a bit further out. There are usually more Berkeley residents at these types of restaurants, and the vibe is different than your usual campus eateries. I like the change in scenery every once in a while. I’d heard great things about 900 …
It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I’d just woken up, hungry for some quality brunch. My roommates and I decided to hit up IKEA for some cheap and tasty food. But alas! The line stretched beyond the line dividers, and we were starving by then. So we decided to try out a brand new …
It’s always nice to get a little taste of home when you’ve been away from SoCal Asian food for a while. Like I’ve said before, Berkeley has many amazing eateries, but the selection of Asian food (particularly Chinese and Taiwanese food) is severely lacking. But no matter! The solution is to drive merely a few …
