San Francisco is known for its many food choices. The newest food bites are hitting the street, literally. All types of food trucks are available and my recent favorite is the Japanese Curry. The fact that it parks within a block or two from my office makes it quite convenient for lunch. The katsu curry has a nice crunch without too much oil. I got the spicy curry and it was indeed spicy but not overwhelmingly so. However, there's definitely heat, and I don't mean the temperature. The only thing missing from is the lack of vegetables. But for super speedy service and only $8 (must bring cash), it's not a bad option for lunch.
Happy Eat Lucky
Happy eating and traveling. Live life like there's no tomorrow!

Mirin Baked Pears
Happy New Year!!! Good thing we didn't travel to the east coast over the holidays as the blizzard would certainly cause a schedule havoc. I worked remotely during the holidays and it was great! Got to spend some quality time with the pup and cooked dinner on a regular basis. It's been a while since I've had the time to cook so the hubby was definitely psyched! I forgot to take a pic of all the food I made but did get one of my desserts: Mirin Baked Pears. Using pears that was about to go bad, I soaked them in mirin, sugar, mint, ginger, and cloves for about 1/2 hour and then bake in oven at 350 degrees for 45 mins. It was delish!!

Pickled Pig's Feet
I've been having a pretty smooth pregnancy - no morning sickness and weird cravings until recently. I was desperately craving my dad's white pickled pig's feet and since he's nearly 3000 miles away, I had no choice but to get the recipe and make my own. After 4 hours of ordeal and refrigerate overnight, my attempt was a a success!

Chicken Waffle
Sorry I've been MIA recently. With trips to Paris and Orlando and wrapping up year-end at work, it's been HECTIC!! Today, I was craving chicken on waffle and my wonderful hubby made them asap. He made the fried chicken with panko and matzo meal. Next to come, pickled pig's feet!!

Maestro Steakhouse and Wildfish Seafood
On my second (or is it third?) trip to Phoenix this year, I went with my team to Maestro Steakhouse and Wildfish Seafood Grille. Both in Scottsdale and pretty amazing food. First up, Maestro Steakhouse
Sides - cream spinach, brussel sprouts, and mac & cheese
Double-cut Porterhouse
Sides - cream spinach, brussel sprouts, and mac & cheese
We were so full from Maestro that we didn't have room for dessert. The next day we went to Wildfish Seafood Grille to balance all the meat.
Appetizer - Calamari and Hot-stone beef
I didn't get to take a pic of my main entree, Hong Kong style steamed chilean sea bass with crab fried rice
Dessert - Pineapple upside down cake

Zuni Cafe
As our date night yesterday, we went to Zuni Cafe to try the famous roasted chicken. Waited almost 2 hours (reservation and another hour for chicken preparation), we got to try the dish. It was amazing!!! Not only was the herbs and seasoning just right, the chicken was incredibly moist, crispy skin, and just mere deliciousness!!
Blue Ribbon Cookbook - home cooking
Recently my hubby (best chef ever!) made the herb-roasted chicken from the Bromberg Bros. Blue Ribbon cookbook. It was delicious - savory, moist, and great texture. Potential competitor to Zuni Cafe (see next post)..
