1. Teacake Bake Shop
I know I said I would not have another cupcake that wasn't made by John Wu. But the last time my craving hit, I caved. As a result, I got the worst cupcake I've ever had in my entire life. Karma really is a b'witch.
I got the Mayan cupcake & it was…More »

I came here last summer for a friend's birthday & I actually liked the place. With a good first impression & a good catering deal, I decided to come back here fro food for a school event.

Neighbourhoods: UC Campus Area, Downtown Berkeley
After a bad day @ work & some tension with the boyfriend, the 2 of us thought we could turn things around with a good dinner & a quiet night in. Unfortunately, eating here did not help the cause 1 bit.
He got a 1/2 lb Classic & I got a Philly Kobe…More »
4. Anaheim GardenWalk
After attending an early morning workshop, I decided that I should take advantage of the warm So-Cal weather & explore the surrounding area.
From the website, I was anticipating a nice, open-aired mall where I could do some shopping & maybe even sit…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Parkside
A good college friend & I hadn't seen each other in a long time & when we finally got together, we really wanted to have a delicious & enjoyable lunch. Well that didn't exactly happen.
I don't remember too much about the meal - we were having some…More »
6. ETC Dessert Cafe
Since I was sick, I thought it might be nice to have something warm & sweet to coat my sore throat.
I got a Stewed snow frog with papaya to-go which cost close to $8 but only filled up half of the tiny container (see the picture). It was super sweet…More »

I have always loved stationary stores & craft stores & the like. So when the guy told me about a stationary store right in the neighborhood, I was really excited.
Unfortunately, all the hype & excited fizzled when I stepped through the doors. The…More »

Each time the boyfriend comes home, he takes every opportunity to see & catch up with old friends. That day, we finally got a chance to catch one of our busiest friends on his day off. The original sushi place that we wanted to go to was closed…More »

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District
The boy & I were on our way to Rockefeller Plaza from Discovery Time Square (read my review). Our blood sugar levels were tanking & so we walked into the first place we saw. It wasn't until we were leaving that we realized we were @ the Hilton.
We…More »

While it is definitely not out first - or even 10th - choice of eateries, we somehow always stop here for breakfast on the the 1st morning after I arrive.
This time around I got a Big breakfast with hotcakes & the boy got a Big breakfast & a Wild…More »

I don't remember what we were doing or how we ended up wanting gelato but we did. Instead of going to Almare like we usually do (read my review), we came here instead. Unfortunately, based on this singular visit, Almare has got no competition.

I know I said I wouldn't buy cupcakes from anywhere else other than Everything Frosted (read my review) but this time it was the boyfriend's idea. So I still kept my promise...right? The 2 of us brought home 4 cupcakes & we were sorely disappointed…More »

Came here for lunch a couple of weeks ago with a few girl friends to celebrate the ending of school & to catch up on life.

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: UC Campus Area, Downtown Berkeley
Got a scoop of Trip Caramel Crunch with rainbow sprinkles. The ice cream is not special; not great but not bad either. So why the 2 stars?
The guy greeted me & walked away as I was about to order. Excuse me, do I look invisible to you?
The girl that…More »

Ice cream & cookies is a combo that I thought nobody could ruin; that is, until I came to CREAM.
It was the first warm & sunny day here in Berkeley so my friend decided to join me for my first CREAM creation. I got a sandwich with Butter Sugar…More »
16. Shan Dong Restaurant
I decided to give this place a try after reading so many good/great reviews. Maybe it was my own bad luck but my experience was far from 4/5 stars.
I went to Shan Dong for lunch with my boyfriend's parents and I was very excited since I am half…More »

Oh Plump Dumpling...
Came here with my boyfriend after giving up at the long line at Ippudo NY & being scared away by the prices at Kanoyama. This place was quiet but it looked innocent enough...
The mixed dumpling was awful! The wrapper was at least…More »

San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 404-7303
After having visited Cako on several occasions & having their cupcakes delivered to me via the boyfriend, I am sad to say that I don't think either of us will be patronizing this business again.
Overall, the frostings are too sweet & too thick. And…More »

Came here for my very first date with the now boyfriend after catching an early move. If I didn't like the guy so much, this dinner might just have completely ruined the date.
He order a dinner box with Teriyaki chicken & California roll. According…More »
