4th July Weekend - 2010
Written by admin on July 9, 2010 – 11:10 pm -This past 4th of July weekend was a mix of sadness and joy. On Saturday, we drove down to LA to the hospital (ICU) to see a close friend of my parents whom I was also very close with. She had had cancer and was fighting it for the past year. We knew the family since I was growing up. Sadly, she passed a few days later that following week. RIP Na Ple. We all miss you.
Here’s us with the family on Saturday and Sunday morning:
.
For the 4th on Sunday, we got to spend some time with my parents and we all drove down to San Diego Bay to see the fireworks there. We bought some dinner to-go at a fish house nearby and had picnic on the lawn right on the water front. It wasn’t as crowded as we had thought and it was a pretty cool way to see the fireworks very closeup.

We left on Monday and stopped by Yukiko’s and Rodney’s place in Pasadena, CA. Thanks for lunch guys! Yukiko, great kalbi!

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.
