San Francisco – Boudin Bakery

One must go to San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf, even though we know it is a tourist trap and yadda dada. But go for a walk down the piers near sundown – it makes a lovely way to relax after a long day. I would not recommend eating at any of the seafood restaurants at Pier 39, because you pay a lot for gimmick and not so much for good food Continue reading

San Francisco – Maverick

I caught up with one of my college friends over brunch at Maverick’s. This restaurant is located at a more suburban area of SF called Missions and honestly, I would not go a foot near that place unless it is broad daylight. Continue reading

California – COI Restaurant (San Francisco)

The concept of Coi sounds all righteous and good. “best ingredients we can find in our area: cultivated plants grown from heirloom seeds; wild-harvested leaves, flowers, barks and roots; local fish, seaweeds and coastal grasses; pastured meat, poultry and eggs from small farmers Continue reading

Las Vegas – Bouchon Bistro

It was not by chance that our second restaurant in the Sin City was also a French bistro. Because I could not get a reservation to The French Laundry and I was really keen to try Thomas Keller’s food, I made a reservation at the Bouchon Bistro at the Venetian. This is much more casual than Daniel Boulud as in they line the table with white paper and the menu is made of paper as well. Continue reading

Located at the basement of the grand Wynn hotel, the Brasserie offers a really good value tasting menu between 5pm to 7pm. Not only that, if you stay past 8pm, you would also get to watch the Wynn’s fountain show that shows at 15 minute intervals starting at 8pm Continue reading

Hong Kong – Chez Patrick

Chez Patrick, a chef-owner restaurant with two branches in Hong Kong. Chef Patrick was a really earnest guy, going around the tables to share on his menu and the daily items. The concept is simple – one chooses either the 3- or 4-course (with cheese) set dinner Continue reading
