I’ve heard so much about Beta5 cream puffs that one day I finally decided to head down there with TDog to try them out. The kitchen is located in an industrial area (fittingly called Industrial Ave.). If not for Google maps and Beta5’s sandwich board, the store would be easy to miss. They have dedicated […]
After a week of Latin festivities…back to our regular programming! Specifically…my coverage of San Diego! San Diego is full of local craft breweries, and on the third night, I was taken to one of these – the Karl Strauss Brewery in Sorrento Valley. Karl Strauss Brewery actually has a few different locations. This particular one […]
Ever dreamt of browsing the racks of a grocery store and being able to just pull whatever you like off the shelf to try? I have, and therefore I was supremely stoked to get an invite to Grocery Showcase West 2014. Livin’ the dream! Grocery Showcase West is an annual trade show held by the […]
I was told of Tealips cafe by Awkward Diner a while ago. I was so happy to find that there was a dessert waffle place so close to me. I quickly brought Hitman to try it out with me on a few occasions, for dessert AND for lunch. Our first visit was for dessert after […]
Sorry Fannypack, but the real reason why I asked you to go with me to Bestie (a German restaurant in Vancouver’s Chinatown) was so that I could name my post as such. I used you I know, I’m sorry. Hey at least we got a date and some Bestie/Bestie badges out of it right? As […]
I’ve heard a lot about Beaucoup Bakery & Cafe, especially in magazines. However it wasn’t until recently when GRock’s friend started working there as a baker that I’ve succumbed to lots more praises and recommendations from GRock. The final nail in the coffin was when GRock showed me a picture of this magical looking poached […]
My quest for Mister Donut did not start out great….first of all the location listed in our tour book was no longer around…and Googling did not help either. So basically I had given up on the first night. The next morning we were on our way to Insadong. Fannypack suggested we take a walk to […]
During our stay in Seoul Fannypack and I took the subway a lot. It was the rather convenient way to travel around and it was a lot easier to understand too as they have the English names written on the maps rather than just Korean characters, which was the case with buses. And, as with […]
Did you ever think that you could have a working oven assembled on a street cart? One that could produce freshly baked yummy cakes? One particularily memorable street eat Fannypack and I had in Seoul was a snack made from one of these incredible innovations….
In my previous post, I commented on how we didn’t get to eat everything we wanted to eat…that’s because there’s quite a bit of street eats that takes away our stomach space…whether it’s on the street, a little shop, in the subway station…there’s always something that catches our…well….mostly my eyes…. Myeongdong is such a busy […]
