My friend Jessica asked me why I haven’t written any food posts in a while. This post’s for you! Let’s clear some things up. Pork knuckle is not actually a pig’s knuckles. Think of it as a pork drumstick…a tasty and flavor-infused drumstick. We stopped by Huhnerhaus in Berlin, hungry for a nice meal. I’d …
One of my favorite German fast food items was actually a mishmash of ingredients from different parts of the world. My friends and I were traveling in Dresden, Germany, when we came upon one of the many well-known currywurst stands in Germany. Curry 24, as this stand was called, offered a decent serving of currywurst …
Behold, some of the best macarons I’ve ever tasted. We stumbled upon Maison Pradier while exploring parts of the Paris, and I’m glad we decided to take a quick break and try some of their macarons.
After our visit to the Louvre today, we were pretty hungry and decided to splurge a bit on dinner. Imagine our surprise when we found out about an authentic French restaurant that served amazing food without breaking the bank!

We got our fish and chips fix in London, so now it was time to try some bangers and mash (aka sausages and mash). At the end of our three-hour walking tour around the city, we were famished and needed a bite to eat. Our guide recommended The Old Monk Exchange, a nice English pub …

Naturally, we’d heard some great things about Bouchon, so we decided to try it out before continuing our winery stops. Bouchon is a traditional French bistro offering seafood, steak, sandwiches, and much more amazingly-cooked …
My friends and I spent the past weekend at Tahoe. We had a blast snowboarding and chilling, but we had just a good a time exploring and discovering new eateries in the area. Fire Sign Cafe is a family-run business (since 1978!) located in Tahoe City, close to Homewood Mountain Ski Resort. It was brunch …
It’s always nice to get a little taste of home when you’ve been away from SoCal Asian food for a while. Like I’ve said before, Berkeley has many amazing eateries, but the selection of Asian food (particularly Chinese and Taiwanese food) is severely lacking. But no matter! The solution is to drive merely a few …
Sin City is known for many things, from the shiny lights to the classy resorts to the gambling and nightlife. All-you-can-eat buffets also rank at the top of the list, and Vegas is home to some of the best buffets around. Every time I visit, I always try to stop by at least one buffet.
