Christine "Lee Tai" D.'s Profile
So incompetent it's almost funny. Almost.

1. The Home Depot
Ugh, paint counter staff needs overhauling. I cannot believe the mouth of one of these dicks, nothing but diarrhea spewing from his mouth. Talks down to customers and takes fucking 40 minutes to make paint, are you kidding? I'm going elsewhere from…More »

The checkout line SUCKS ASS.
And the kitchen department could use more that one staff person at a… Read more »
2. Gelato Firenze
Oakland, CA 94610
(510) 414-9997
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Grand Lake, Lower Hills
Maybe the girl serving us was new to the job, but what we got today was R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D. There is a big ol' sign outside announcing milk tea, so naturally, I want to have a milk tea. Ordered four different milk teas/drinks. Girl behind the counter…More »
3. Imperial Tea Court
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 544-9830
This place is beautiful. And I love tea. And I'm getting married and planning to have a Chinese tea ceremony. So I called on Imperial Tea Court to reserve their venue for the event. Was quoted pricing, discussed time and what I needed (for them to…More »
4. Koi Palace
We considered Koi Palace for our wedding reception dinner. Made an appointment with Leo.
Get there, get a cold welcome, are seated a table. Table settings are cleared, even teacups are taken away. Wow, thanks. Such hospitality.
Conversation goes…More »

Whatever.
I went to Koi Palace for dinner. It was fine, the only thing I can remember clearly is the… Read more »
5. Burger Bar
Toronto, ON M5T 2M2
Canada
(416) 922-7423
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
They want to be fancy but it doesn't work. Great sounding menu of burgers but execution sucks and service may as well be self serve. I was eager to try a bison burger, and the hubbs got a six-cheese burger. His came out burning hot and mine came out…More »
6. Home Depot
Colma, CA 94014
(650) 755-9600
Categories:
Hardware Stores,
Nurseries & Gardening,

This place is whack. This particular HD.
People have no idea what the hell they're doing here, and I'm talking about the staff. They are like dumb monkeys or something. You ask them for something (if you can find anyone to ask) and they look at you…More »
7. EXPO Design Center - CLOSED
Emeryville, CA 94601
(510) 450-3300
Categories:
Building Supplies,

Kitchen & Bath,
Lighting Fixtures & Equipment
Neighbourhood: West Oakland
So they call themselves a Design Center. Actually there's a lot that Expo has in common with the SFDC: some beautiful stuff, high prices, and the feeling that your aren't gonna get any customer service unless you have membership in the Bitchy…More »
8. Hing Lung Restaurant - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 398-8838
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Ugh, I am done with this place. Done!
I know the jook is good and the donuts are good, but they don't make up for ridiculous lack of service. The waitstaff couldn't be bothered with glancing your way, or if they do, they actually don't see you; they…More »
9. Cocola Bakery - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 543-2207
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
I wanted to walk in to this place immediately because it looks so delicious from outside. Slightly reminiscent of a very art nouveau cafe in Paris, that's what drew me in. Inside, I notice that it is very pretty, but wow the techno/dance music is…More »
10. La Boulange
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 399-0714
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Boulange is OK. I really wanted to love it because it looks so welcoming and cozy and not Starbucks-y.
I must say though, this place is pricey to the point that I might get one item every other month or so.
I have tried the following items at…More »
11. Carousel Bakery

Categories:
Sandwiches,

Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
One of the biggest letdowns on the food scene.
What the hell is going on with people? How is it that a couple pieces of ham in between bread has gained a reputation as a sandwich to die for? What are all your tongues coated with? This is just salty…More »
12. Buca di Beppo
GROSS.
This is the crap you eat when you're in middle school when you get to go out with friends without chaperones for the first time. I don't know how some people have not grown out of that. Whenever I hear someone say they're going to this place,…More »
13. AAA - CLOSED
Boyfriend needed to transfer ownership of two cars from his dad. After reading up about family vehicle transfers on the dmv website, we printed and filled out the paperwork and checked the box that said it should be exempt from a smog check because…More »
14. Hamura's Saimin
GROSS.
Maybe I am spoiled to death growing up in San Francisco with awesome Chinese American food and an awesome Paw Paw to cook it for me.
This place would be closed in their first month if they were to try to open anywhere else but on this island of…More »
Recently updated lists from Christine D.
Toronto in brief (15)Hungry San Francisco natives set out to eat their way through Toronto. And see a couple things along the way. |
Milk tea aka nai cha obsession (14)I don't know why but hk milk tea is very important to me. I have gotten to be a little bit of a snob about it. I can now make my own at home, and it is damn good! But I still love to try it wherever I go, so here are my nai cha adventures. |
Getting married!!! Chinese American style. (42)Here we go ... planning the big day.And the big day need NOT be a big credit card bill. So, here I am gathering all the options I am considering for my wedding, with affordability in mind. But it's not gonna look cheap or taste cheap. Remember, pyeng you leng. Not pyeng you chou yeng. I am out for the super steals. |
Dogs Allowed Here (10)Dango is my dog baby. He is a sweet goofy 50 lb pit bull who some people are afraid of (people that are trippin) and some people love. I've decided to test the waters and try to bring Dango in to non-dog related businesses and see what happens. This is a list of random places that don't hate on my dog baby. |
My genealogy resources (10)I LOVE genealogy. I haven't brought myself to actually call myself a genealogist, but I know I love it and I can say "I do genealogy." Anyway, here are the places I use for digging for those roots. I do a lot of Chinese research, so this list may be especially helpful for those of you in the same boat. |
Fabulous Furniture (6)These are the furniture spots I like. Price and aesthetic are taken into consideration, though not always equally. Some are places I buy at and some at places I dream I could buy at. And some just help each other, like Sal Beressi fabrics for reupholstering the junk (treasure) I find on craigslist. |
