Where would you go if you were tired, cold, and hungry? Grand Hot Pot Lounge, better known among the Chinese as “Red House”(红馆) is an AYCE hot pot shop in Sunset District. We were all tired from Biking Across the Golden Gate Bridge, so Shine had the genius idea to go to hotpot. I gotta say, […]

Restaurant Series: Boudin Bakery
I’m a big fan of chowders in general. Coming to a city near the ocean, I was always on the hunt for good seafood. I actually made plans to visit a oyster shop with Shirley, but the line was about 50 people, and I have just one rule for eating out: I don’t wait (excessively), […]
Restaurant Series: Little Szechuan San Francisco
To Boris & Shirely, this restaurant is expensive and not worth its price. You guys don’t have to keep reading anymore. =P In all seriousness, if you like proper Szechuan cuisine, this is not the place to go. The supposedly Dongpo Pork isn’t even fresh (the meat was cold on the inside); the pea shoots were […]
Restaurant Series: Crab House Pier 39, San Francisco
Ahem. TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM. Ok. Michael has finally arrived in San Francisco, and now the Three Musketeers of SF are ready to take on the world! Our first meal, as to welcome Michael, is Crab House. I had wanted to eat some seafood since I got here (you know, #baylife […]
Restaurant Series: 重庆小面 (Chongqing Noodles) San Francisco
Just know I’m writing this post while hungry. Today is my second day in San Francisco, my roommate, Boris, has finally arrived. Boris is much more experienced since he had already done a work term in Mountain View, so he suggested we go to a Hunan-styled restaurant in Chinatown. The store we wanted had a […]
Restaurant Series: Big Rig Brewery Ottawa
Ottawa isn’t known for its beers. That’s something someone who’s drinks PBR would tell you, Ottawa is actually full of great local brewery’s, and my friend Sean‘s basement is the best of them all (personally speaking, having tried his beer). But we’re not here to talk about beer today, I had planned a lunch with […]
Restaurant Series: Pyung Won House
This started as a mistake. I thought this place was Pojangmacha, but turns out that was a little street vendor outside of this place. Still, we were famished, and Paige was greatly upset, which meant I wasn’t about to poke the tiger by suggesting another place. Despite the Yelp reviews, this place was really good, […]
Restaurant Series: The Bauer Kitchen Waterloo
I’ve eyed this place a while now, never had a chance to go in. The Bauer Kitchen is a restaurant near Uptown Waterloo, hidden behind the almighty Vincenzo’s, the restaurant has its own little courtyard, and a very lovely patio where we had situated ourselves. I ordered a soup, which was delicious, and Paige ordered […]
Restaurant Series: Copacabana Toronto (Adelaide Street)
As part of our trip to Toronto, we wanted to participate in the last day of Summerlicious Toronto. We had our eyes set on Brazilian styled barbecue for a long time; therefore, we picked the best there is: Copacabana. Unfortunately, only the Eglinton Avenue location for Copacabana participates in Summerlicious, and we weren’t able to […]
