The second post regarding our day-trip to Washington State is a short one. Wendy introduced it to me a while back when we first went to the Chelsea Premium Outlet together. Auntie Anne’s is a great pretzel place that you will often find in many American malls. When we walked in, we were rushed by […]
Update: This restaurant has closed or moved. I’ve always loved soft pretzels. I remember many, many years ago at Lansdowne Mall there was a small pretzel place that sells pretzel sticks with cheddar cheese dipping sauce. It was so good.

Today was a sort of family day. Dad was getting cataract surgery done at VGH so Mom and I drove him down there. When we dropped him off, we had about an hour to kill, so we thought of going somewhere. There really isn’t much around the W. Broadway/Oak area, so it took us quite […]

Pretty aren’t they? From left they are Lemon, Strawberry and Pistachio. Texture-wise, these were quite a bit thicker than […]
Update Oct 13, 2009: This shop has since closed down 🙁 Le Bonbon Cafe is my current favorite bakery to get cheesecake from. The owner bakes the cheesecakes herself and it is one of the most flavorful cheesecakes I’ve ever tasted, even better than Cheesecake, Etc. Boyfriend bought me three slices as a surprise. A […]
