Ooo.. Bliss Dance!

Look at how she's dancing in front of Bay Bridge <3

She changes color too!

The news came up from Yahoo! some time ago about the arrival of Bliss Dance in the bay area. I was so excited to go check her out (I didn't know anything about it) just because I was feeling a little artistique :p I love how hipstamatic captured her "mood" -- color -- overlooking the Bay Bridge.

Laline





I recently passed by this store while walking with my sister in Chestnut st. The unique decorations were so cute that I can't help but check it out. It's an Israeli brand, and opened the first US store in SF. Cool! Both of us oohs and aahs around the store. Since the store wasn't that busy (it was lunch time!) she had us tried on the scrubs. We especially liked the Ocean and Cherry Blossoms. I decided to get some for myself, and gifts for my friend H from Japan. A month later I made a trip to Tokyo to meet my friend, and passed the gift to her. Then I realized they have a store there! -_-"

Hillstone SF


This is the very first thing you will see on your left once you step into the restaurant. Busy chefs preparing and grilling those yummy steaks & ribss.. *droolllll* What I do sometimes while waiting for my table: stand next to this (picture) counter, look at them cook, and the amigos will give you a plate of shoestring fries (jusstt sometimes ssshhhhh :p) They are just really nice friendly people.

Oh! Their honey mustard is so goodd. Momma loves it especially. We even tried to buy for to go but they don't sell it :( Homemade honey mustard (thumbs up).. I always go there for that, the fries, and Hawaiian ribeye. Once I get home, I just don't weigh myself. Works well! No stress :p

Ozumo


Yamabuki
Fresh Uni on Mushroom Risotto (My fav!!)

Sacho Roll
I don't remember what's inside but it's hella good


I come here often when I want to have light dinner with my sister. Plus it's walking distance from where we live! Ozumo is the place to go to if you are feeling a little Japanese and wanna have konichiwa-fusion experience. Or you can grab a drink at the bar. Pretty awesome place to go with your date, or hang out with your friends. Oh oh! Their shabu-shabu is amazing.. Honestly, everything on the menu looks good. My sister and I both ordered the same menu whenever we go there.. tuna tataki salad, futago (spinach wrapped with beef topped with eggplant yums), grilled sweet potato, and definitely the risotto! Until one of our friend told us about the shabu-shabu. Yummssss....

go! go! go!

Oh you should make a reservation!

Golden Gate Bridge




Oh yeahh.. the infamous Golden Gate Bridge, where the apes from "Planet of the Apes" headed to before going to the woods? I'm glad I went there on a clear sunny day. I was being "tourist for a day" with family friends visiting from Indonesia. I took them around the city; Lombard st, Palace of Fine Arts, Sausalito, Ghirardelli, here, and lastly Fisherman's Wharfs where we took a ferry that passed by Alcatraz.


Half Moon Bay




Went for a walk with my mom and brother in Half Moon Bay. Thought of trying Hipstamatic for this beautiful scenery. What do you think?

Having lived in San Fran for more than 6 years, I've only been to Half Moon Bay for like 3 times! I just realized how beautiful it is. Wished I could have gone there more often.

Mama's on Washington Square


Eggs florentine


Buttermilk Pancake

Mama's on Washington Square. Hearty food. Perfect for brunch. One of my must-go places in San Fran. They usually have a long wait line outside; I would say about 20-30 mins wait, or faster if you are lucky. (Cash only)

The House

Deep-fried Salmon Roll

BBQ Pork Sandwich (only available for lunch)


If you are in town, make sure to check out this place. Calamari is awesome too! Other main courses are equally good! Their grilled seabass is an all-time favorite; pork chop with pomegranate sauce is yumss; and sometimes when they have black cod for daily specials, be sure to order that!

reservation is recommended, even for lunch

Burger Bar!

Wednesday specials

Nutella Burger

The first time I tried Burger Bar was in Vegas. First impression was okay.. and decided to try again in their most recent opening in SF Macy's.. and then again.. It turned out pretty good, much better than the one in vegas (in my opinion). I had one of their Wednesday special burger, which is a mushroom burger? I can't quite remember. I like Rossini burger, which comes with pan-fried foie gras and slices of truffles on top of the meat patty, and includes a "dessert burger" when you order that.
