Kit and Ace

Love this brand Kit and Ace @kitandace! Comfortable basics/plains

Kit and Ace @kitandace

“Shannon is married to JJ’s father, Chip Wilson, the founder of lululemon. During their time spent travelling abroad and living internationally, JJ and Shannon recognized a void in the luxury apparel industry. After spending years dressed head to toe in stretchy performance wear, they were looking for clothing that offered the same functionality but that met their desire for sophistication, style and luxury. Since they couldn’t find what they were looking for, they created it.

Shannon’s institutional knowledge and experience in product design teamed with JJ’s insights into fashion and retail have culminated into the vision that is Kit and Ace. Their plan is to deliver innovative products that provide comfort and ease of use to the wearer, while still offering the style and quality of the luxury brands they love.” ( Source : Kit and Ace website )

They always have this brochure which is their “The List” and here you will find their recommended spots to dine and entertain yourself in the area where the store is located. So since this is Burlingame, the list is for the Burlingame area and its nearby surroundings Time is Precious. Love the shopping bags!

They only accept credit cards – no cash

There are 2 Thanh Longs in SF city – one is the original/ first branch and the other branch is called Crustacean in Polk st.

Thanh Long July 10, 2012

We would go to Crustacean because it’s usually easier to reserve. Tonight we are back and its newly renovated since November. It’s nice now! It’s a better dining experience so i highly recommend this branch Renovated Crustacean (6) We always order the same things are we are happy:-) They removed this from the menu but we asked for it and they had it 🙂 Fried Calamari Rice Paper Shrimp Roll
Filled with poached shrimp, rice noodles, rau ram and green mango wrapped in soft rice paper, served with a spicy peanut sauce. Skewered Beef
Tender slices of beef marinated with lemongrass, sesame and asian herbs then grilled. The Roast Crab
An entire dungeness crab roasted to perfection with garlic and spices

We were wondering why there was no head so we asked the server and apparently the crabs that were delivered had no heads! But anyway the taste was still the same They gave us free dessert in lieu of the crabs having no heads

Back in Juban

By Heart2Heart | San Francisco | No Comments

My boys love Yakiniku! Even when in SF they look for it!! Back in Juban (5) So Juban is the usual place we go to. Back in Juban (6) Back in Juban (7)

For some reason the Kalbi ( the most basic and bestseller) which is 3$ more than the tongue is the one that’s rubbery and we had the same experience 2 years ago. My new favorite in Juban is the Beef Tongue. It’s tender and not rubbery, just make sure it’s the pink ones ( not the 2 dark ones on the side) Make sure it’s also well done. We also had the skirt steak which is same price as the tongue and it had more flavor than the Kalbi. So it’s good to experiment once in awhile. They have a yakishabu which is thinly sliced beef and might be like a shabu shabu cut.

Acquerello

By Heart2Heart | San Francisco | No Comments

Chef Suzette is one of the 2 female chefs in the USA that have 2 Michelin Stars Love all the little things they give that is not in the menu 🙂 Orange Juice with sweet Vermouth grenadine

Calamareto stuffed with scallops and fennel pesto We got the prix fixe menu. Choose 3, 4 or 5 course. 3 course really means 6 and 5 course really means 10 🙂 because of all the things they give before, in between and after

Happy to meet Head Sommelier – Rafael Santos – who is Filipino. Raphael but changed to Rafael by the Italians and Pepel was his nickname in the Philippines. 🙂 Pepel graduated from Fordham Univ and worked in the field of Finance in Wall Street, London and San Francisco for 4 years and realized that it was not for him. He became a Sommelier and has been working in Acquerello for 7 years already. Though he said that he learned to appreciate wine during his meetings in his previous job. Pepel is such a nice guy and it’s nice to know we have many common friends- one of them is Chef Tippi Tambunting of @m_dining.bar and @donosti_pintxos More power to Pepel ? If you decide to dine in Acquerello, make sure to look for Pepel Again not in the list but super yum! Chef’s surprise profiterole with herb ricotta Love all the personalised “A” letters in the placeParmesan custard with truffle oil and black truffle
Olive and rosemary – fresh butter with lava salt from Hawaii Black Angus beef tartare Snake River Farms Pork belly Porcini and Chanterelle Casonsci with sweetbreads Lobster Panzerotti

An off the menu dish but regulars know this dish. Yum! Acquerello Risotto Ridged pasta with foie gras, black truffle and Marsala – this was in the Tasting menu but we requested if we could have it as one of our courses and they agreed 🙂 Maine lobster Pancetta wrapped Venison Grilled swordfish Bourbon caramel semifreddo White truffle gelato at @acquerellosf YUM! Accdg to Pepel @pepelsantos this gelato was created because of an accident. Someone in the kitchen put the white truffles in the freezer and to try to rectify the mistake he told Chef Suzette he will make it into gelato! Ever since then it’s being served when truffles are in season Love this cart!!! Petit fours all you want!!! Acquerello (30) the Seasonal Tasting menu that looked so good but we knew we would not be able to finish A gift in a box for each diner. Biscotti freshly made by Acquerello Cheese cartCheers 🙂 to a wonderful meal!
