Julienne (San Marino)

By in 02: Pasadena, Favorite Food Entries

My goodness this is simply the BEST gourmet sandwich I’ve ever had!!! I wrote about Julienne long time ago here. Croque Monsieur is heavenly, I mean…I can’t believe how good croque can be. It must be the combination of pesto sauce and the very sweet bell peppers. The medium rare Beef Steak sandwich is so […]

La Nouvelle Patisserie (San Francisco: Cow Hollow)

By in 04: SF+Bay Area

Took a wrong turn and wasted lots of stamina walking nowhere around Marina. Finally we winded up on nice Union Street and stomped into the first ‘nice’ cafe we saw. JACKPOT! This French pastry place is incredibly good. We had the Strawberry mousse and vanilla custard cake, there’re iced strawberries inside. The mousse was so […]
