By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

I requested to choose a place to eat this time because I wanted to try FIVE GUYS!

Everyone is talking about it and I was just curious so I wanted to taste it.

Good thing there is one near where we stay

Sweet Basil Foster City

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Of course my trip is not complete without seeing my good friend, Triccie!  

I always request for her to take me to a new place all the time.  So this time she took us to a Thai place in Foster city

Many of the staff are Filipinos.  Here is our waitress who knows Triccie already.  She was hiding, she said she wanted to fix herself up first before I take her photo 🙂  

So pretty these daughters of Triccie!! I wanted my two boys to meet them 🙂  

Fresh salad rolls

WINGS OF LOVE!!!! 🙂  Cute and funny name – but I love it!  They probably named it for me 🙂  Their version of buffalo wings.  YUMMY!

Cheesy Garlic Bread

By | Cheese, Recipes, Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

Heart2Heart was so happy to be back at the Fish Market to have the BEST Cheesy Garlic Bread!!

Previous entry:  Visiting Triccie and Dinner at the Fish Market October 18, 2013

You can order just the spread and take it home and make your own.  Too bad it is not bottled so I can bring it back all the way home to the Philippines

We went on a Wednesday so we did not get US$ 1 oysters but we still ordered some.  Every Monday and Tuesday they have $1.00 oysters

Clam Chowder

Lobster Ciopino

Found some recipes online. I have not tried the recipe but I wanted to check the ingredients.  I knew it, I tasted some mayonnaise on it – which is one reason probably why it’s so so good!!

Home Cooked Dinner by Chef Javs

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

After all that spending and eating!  I told the boys that we have to save and cook at home!  🙂  Chef Javs of course was happy with the idea.  James suggested we go to Draeger’s

Which after all cost just as much as eating out! haha! But it was nice to have home cooked food for a change especially by our very own chef.  Not to mention that we have to clean up after the chef cooks because he is already tired after cooking! 🙂

Wow, this bone marrow was so expensive US$ 20.00 for this!

Oops, Chef Javs forgot to have it sliced by the butcher.  So we had to reach far inside to get the marrow 🙂

Fresh Berries

By | Yummy! | 2 Comments

Heart2Heart loves fresh berries!!!  That is the first thing in the grocery cart whenever in the USA! Berries are everywhere and are so cheap compared to the luxury that it becomes when it arrives in the Philippines to almost triple the price.  So I take advantage!

It was on Buy one take one at safeway!

Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream

By | Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

The eating was not yet over for that Sunday in the City!  The GOURMET son was not yet satisfied with his ice cream and he had to go to the place which he researched – he read about the foie gras ice cream! 🙂

So we drove to one more stop before going back home and we went to Humphry Slocombe.  There was a line but not a long one.  I think it is also the location – it was not in a commercial area unlike Bi Rite

Very gourmet indeed and very non traditional – I love non traditional!

One of their best sellers – they change their flavors daily but there are flavors that are there everyday because they are really sought after like SECRET BREAKFAST!  Jaime ordered that one and really liked it.  What a unique flavor and very refreshing though it has liquor, So not too much 🙂
