Alex’s 1st Birthday
Written by admin on June 21, 2010 – 11:58 pm -
Around mid-June my parents came up to celebrate Alex’s 1st birthday with all of us. A week before Alex’s bday weekend, we met up with Steve and Carol for some Thai dinner.
.
The following evening, we met with my parents and went out to Pesce, a seafood/Italian/tapas restaurant on Polk St. Lots of great, delicious plates and we tried plenty! No pics of the family but we do have some food pics though!
.
Happy 1st Birthday Alex! Too bad you won’t remember a thing!

A Freakin Good Pork Sandwich
Written by admin on June 6, 2010 – 12:37 am -
A good friend of mine from college, Phebe, was in town so it was really nice to get to see her after all the years. We met at the Farmer’s Market at the Ferry Plaza for a quick lunch. Of course, the main attraction at the Farmer’s Market is the Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie as evidenced by the long line and so we all got in line. We had already tried their chicken which was absolutely amazing so we waited for the famous porchetta sandwiches. These pork sandwiches were the best/worst things you can have. So flavorful and crispy to perfection, yet oily and fatty to a quick heart attack. Just absolutely amazing :) Thanks Phebe and see you again soon!
.
Later that evening, we tried a place called “Fish and Farm“. I really wanted to like this place, voted best burger in 2009 by SF magazine 7×7. Their website is cool and they really do take some great mouth-watering pictures. We did order the burger and it was good but nothing special. I was dreaming about their fried chicken all day and when I tasted it, it was just regular. So sad.

Memorial Day Weekend 2010
Written by admin on May 31, 2010 – 11:51 pm -Let’s see, for Memorial Weekend this year, we stayed in the City and did a few things:
- Saturday night - Rodney and Yukiko came up from LA and we went out for dinner at Hotel Adagio. I can’t stop thinking about their french fries!…Or I was really hungry!
.
- Sunday morning - I got up early and headed out for the SF Carnival Parade in the Mission. I found a good spot in the shade at the end of the parade route and didn’t have to wait too long for I could hear the head of the parade making its way up. It was a very hot day and the performers and dancers in the parade were still giving their best through the end. Lots of energy and cool salsa, samba, tango and many other dances, including a traditional Aztec dance.
.
More Carnaval Parade pictures >>HERE<<!
- Monday - We met up with Azusa’s friend, Mariko, for lunch. Don’t know why but we decided on burgers and fries again. I think we are trying to find the best fries in the country! We had to stop by Azusa’s work first for some work calls, then met Mariko at Custom Burger. Yummy but $$!
.
We finished up and continued to Union Square for some shopping. At the Westfield mall entrance and the Powell cable car line on Market St, there was a protest between Israel and Palestine. While everyone was too busy hating each other, they missed out on a magical, never-before-seen circular rainbow right above their heads!
