Specialty’s holds a special place in my heart. The story goes back one year when I interned in San Francisco last summer. One of the fellow interns invited me on a mid-afternoon mini-excursion with a group of co-workers to a quaint little cafe across the street, right at the underground entrance of the Montgomery BART …
It’s my third week living in San Francisco, and tonight marks the first time I’ve tried a sushi place in the city in recent memory. My roommates and some neighbor-friends stopped by a sushi restaurant near our apartment in the Lower Nob Hill area after work, and we got to spend some time relaxing, chatting, …
Last weekend, a family friend of mine drove up to visit me in the city. I’d barely moved in but was put in charge of finding a good place to enjoy a Sunday morning brunch. After some quick researching online, the results kept pointing to a particular eatery in the Mission. Called Universal Cafe, this …
Sometimes you just want seafood without all the fancy-schmancy dressing up and tableware. I know I do.

My friend Jessica asked me why I haven’t written any food posts in a while. This post’s for you! Let’s clear some things up. Pork knuckle is not actually a pig’s knuckles. Think of it as a pork drumstick…a tasty and flavor-infused drumstick. We stopped by Huhnerhaus in Berlin, hungry for a nice meal. I’d …
One of my favorite German fast food items was actually a mishmash of ingredients from different parts of the world. My friends and I were traveling in Dresden, Germany, when we came upon one of the many well-known currywurst stands in Germany. Curry 24, as this stand was called, offered a decent serving of currywurst …
Behold, some of the best macarons I’ve ever tasted. We stumbled upon Maison Pradier while exploring parts of the Paris, and I’m glad we decided to take a quick break and try some of their macarons.
After our visit to the Louvre today, we were pretty hungry and decided to splurge a bit on dinner. Imagine our surprise when we found out about an authentic French restaurant that served amazing food without breaking the bank!
