Wakuriya

By | San Mateo | No Comments

We were so happy to finally dine at Wakuriya. There are only 2 Michelin starred restaurants @michelinrestaurants in the Peninsula. For the past 3 years we have been trying to reserve and it’s so difficult because it only seats 16 and they are always booked. You have to reserve a month in advance and call at midnight. It’s a good thing my hubby is very persistent in calling and because there was a cancellation for tonight we were able to dine! Chef Katsuhiro Yamasaki and his wife Mayumi moved from Japan to the Bay Area and opened Wakuriya in 2008. Chef Katsuhiro has 13 years experience in Japan and is a gem here. They are the only 2 people in the resto plus one staff. Mayumi is the one answering the phone for reservations and she’s also serving in the restaurant. We had a 9 course dinner.   So blessed to have witnessed such talent. #H2HSFO #Wakuriya #Michelinstar #H2HChefs #H2HPeopleWakuriya (4) Wakuriya (3)Wakuriya (5)Wakuriya (1) Wakuriya (6) Wakuriya (7) Wakuriya (8) Wakuriya (9) Wakuriya (10) Wakuriya (11) Wakuriya (12) Wakuriya (13) Wakuriya (14) Wakuriya (15) Wakuriya (16) Wakuriya (17) Wakuriya (18) Wakuriya (19) Wakuriya (20) Wakuriya (21) Wakuriya (22) Wakuriya (23) Wakuriya (24) Wakuriya (25) We had a special dinner at a place we have been trying to dine in for the past 3 years and apparently they too have been wanting to dine here – Wakuriya.  What a nice way to celebrate Ernie’s birthday #H2HSFO #H2HPeopleWakuriya (2)

PPQ Dungeness Island

By | Foodie | No Comments

How come i never heard of this place?  It’s a Filipino favourite apparently.  Though they say Thanh Long still has the best Roast crab.  Though I did not attempt to order that.  I actually wanted to try the Peppercorn crab and it was yum 🙂

Love these friends of mine – Jose and Tin – they accompanied me to get my crab fix only to find out she’s allergic to crabs! Then they even treated us

Great food and even greater company  #H2HSFO #PPQPPQ Dungeness Island (2) PPQ Dungeness Island (3) PPQ Dungeness Island (4) PPQ Dungeness Island (5) PPQ Dungeness Island (6) PPQ Dungeness Island (7) PPQ Dungeness Island (8) PPQ Dungeness Island (9) PPQ Dungeness Island (10) PPQ Dungeness Island (11) PPQ Dungeness Island (12) Shrimp rollsPPQ Dungeness Island (13)  Charbroiled pork into a spring roll at PPQ.
