When my sweet tooth calls my name, I typically don’t opt for donuts. But this time, I did because I learned about a place called Gonutz for Donuts in Fremont, CA that had amazing decorated donuts. I had to check them out.
In one of my walks to work from the Montgomery Street BART station to my office in Union Square, San Francisco, I stumbled upon Andersen Bakery, a Danish one, hidden down the stairs of the Crocker Galleria. Attracted by the arrangement of breads and pastries, I had to check it out.

Happy 2017 from one of my favorites cities in the world: Taipei, the capital of Taiwan! Married to a Taiwanese man and family, I’ve learned and tried so much of this incredible cuisine over time. For tonight’s dinner and the tastiest food, we went to not a restaurant but hit the streets of the city to Shilin Night Market. Whenever I’m in Taipei, I always make a point to eat and enjoy as much as I can here.
Scott Rossillo’s Rainbow Bagel had been on my “Must Try” list since the beginning of this year. Several months later, I finally had the chance to try this “psycedelic,” original, creative bagel at The Bagel Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Hubby and I could not leave Madrid without trying the churros with hot chocolate. For this amazing treat, we went to La Churreria Chocolateria Los Artesanos 1902 at Puerta del Sol.
About a few blocks from Parc de Joan Miro and Barcelona Sans train station, Hubby and I dropped by 365 to grab our lunch for the train. Seeing many locals there, we had to stop by and find out why this was their “Go To” place.
Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed were the beautiful baguettes. The loaves, boules & sliced bread looked just as lovely and delicious!

Bánh Mí – the Vietnamese Sandwich – is my all-time favorite lunch item. Growing up in Southern California, I could always get it freshly made at any sandwich shop in Little Saigon or my Grandma’s house.
Pressed for time but in need of a filling, comforting lunch, I like to go to Margon in Midtown West in Manhattan. It’s less than a 10-minute walk from my office, and whenever I arrive, the staff members recognize my face and always give me my order in 15 minutes or less.
I discovered Kopitiam, this hidden gem, during one of my walks in Chinatown. It’s a small “stop and go” place that serves typical Malaysian dishes for breakfast and snacks. It’s run by a Malaysian family, and their kitchen is the size of my bathroom…Tiny! Resourceful, creative…their food has to be authentic and good. I made a mental note to return.
I went back and fell in love with the place. My prior thoughts were also correct. This is now one of my top 10 places in Chinatown.
