Sheryl "missuspiggy" D.'s Profile

I'm Having a Japanese Food Baby!

I eat an obscene amount of Japanese food..almost traitorous to my Chinese culture. So what's left to do but share my Japanese food fetish with the rest of you folks? And other Japanese things such as hair straightening that I'm obsessed with!

Update - 3/14/2011

I've been to Motomachi more than a handful of times now and I've never looked back (not to Kintaro anyway). My fave is the Extra BBQ Pork ramen in either Shio or Miso while my better half prefers the Shoyu broth. I'm delighted to report that…More »

Dropped in last night to order just the soft shell crab, only to find out that they only have in a maki roll format. No problem, says the wonderful hostess, we can do it for you on its own. Fantastic service, the crab was a generous portion. She…More »

After $4.50 worth of coins were piped into the parking meter, we arrived at Guu to find it quite bustling on a Tuesday evening. A chorus of servers greeting us loudly in Japanese and I felt myself transform into a pigtailed, anime super heroine in…More »

Don't be intimidated by the prices and the slightly unfamiliar Japanese menu. It's not that expensive. I suppose this depends on how much you can eat. Our bill came to $85 for a party of four and a toddler (without the tip) and it's pretty average…More »

I never thought it was possible to inhale Japanese food, with its dainty presentations, until a week ago. But inhale is what HB and I did, when we arrived, delusional from self-inflicted hunger that day (what, is that a talking fish by the restaurant…More »

I almost gave this place two stars...then thought they deserve at least 3 for the effort. Any place that makes broth from scratch has my respect and is worth at least 3 stars, no matter how salty that broth is. I ordered a combo Shio ramen bowl…More »

After climbing up and down (that's a 1000 steps people!!) the stairs to get to and back from Wreck Beach, it was only appropriate to recuperate at an AYCE sushi place. We got there an hour before closing but everybody was totally friendly and…More »

Based on other Yelpers review, I took a chance yesterday and went for JP Ionic Straightening. My hair was done by Manami. I was not disappointed!! The service was impeccable down to the fine, fine details. I loved how they cover your eyes with a…More »

Oh baby! Gettin' down and dirty right now with my blond Japanese hairdresser as she expertly applies Super Straight solution onto my mass of curls. For all you strangers to the dark world of frizzy, curly hair, it's Japanese hair straightening. Also…More »
