Drinking a Cup of Coconut Milk Cloud ☁️

☁️ZERO& 📍 437 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94102 ▫️Finally checked in at ZERO& in San Francisco! This cup of cloud-like beverage that has taken social media by storm, I really wanted to come and try it out! The combination of coconut milk and butterfly pea flower creates an atmosphere reminiscent of the sky, with an additional cloud-shaped decoration that adds to its aesthetic appeal. I recommend asking for less sugar, as it can be a bit too sweet. ▫️The Thai Tea croissant was average, but their garlic bread is delicious, worth trying next time. #WhereToGoInBayArea #GlobalEatDrinkTeam #BayAreaLiving #FoodRecommendation #BayAreaFood #FoodSharing #ExploreLocal #BayAreaExploration #BayAreaMilkTea #InstagrammableDrinks #SocialMediaTrends #PopularBayAreaMilkTea #FollowAndYouWon'tRegretIt

😍Authentic Filipino Style Brunch in SF beyond my expectations

🥗Abaca 📍2700 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94133 · ▫️We found another amazing brunch spot! The Filipino style food is truly comforting for Asian taste buds. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a hotel and the overall style is absolutely loveable! As soon as you enter, you're greeted with abundant natural light coming from above, creating a cozy dining experience! · ▫️During brunch hours, the crowd is manageable. We went on a weekend and it wasn't too crowded, so no need to wait for seating (we had made a reservation in advance, but walk-ins seemed possible). They also have a bar and bakery, making the menu quite extensive. · 🧇Tikoy Pandan waffle It has mochi inside, which makes it soft and delicious as a dessert! · 🥓Wagyu Tapsilog It has a Korean taste to it, and although it looks small, it's actually quite filling! The combination of meat and scrambled eggs, with a crispy touch, is incredibly satisfying! · 🥩Tochino Silog The grilled pork belly is amazingly flavorful and substantial. The portion is really generous. I actually quite like their rice, it somehow complements their dishes perfectly. · ▫️Their dishes may not look huge in terms of portion, but they are solid and satisfying. Surprisingly, we couldn't finish our plates 😂 It exceeded my expectations! I thought we could even order one more dessert, but apparently, I was being too ambitious 😂 #BayAreaFood #BayAreaLiving #WhereToGoInBayArea #HiddenGemsRestaurant #Brunch #WeekendPlans #DateNightSpot #WeekendFoodHunting #InstagrammableBrunchSpots #FoodExploration

Wait! Real Texas Barbecue in the Bay Area!!

🍖Horn Barbecue 📍 2534 Mandela Parkway, Oakland, CA 94607 ▫️Since I previously went to Texas and couldn't stop thinking about the barbecue, I was thrilled to find a more authentic Texas barbecue place in the Bay Area. 🥰 Let's hurry and give it a try! ▫️They opened at 11 AM and by 11:15 AM, there was already a long line. The line moved quite slowly, with about 5-10 minutes per group. Only two groups were allowed in at a time, and we waited for about half an hour. ▫️Unfortunately, they had run out of ribs today 😭😭😭, but it was a pleasant surprise to discover that their cornbread was absolutely delicious!! #BayAreaWeekendPlans #BayAreaLiving #BayArea #Barbecue #Foodie #FoodRecommendation #FoodDiary #WeekendPlans #TexasBarbecue #BayAreaCuisine

My friend doesn’t want me to post this hidden gem but…

🍣 Hamano 📍 1332 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114 - The official description calls it a lowkey Japanese restaurant and it was indeed discovered! Before, while doing aromatherapy candles and eating Russian cuisine nearby, I accidentally came across this really inconspicuous Japanese restaurant. I thought it was just ordinary home-cooked food, but it turns out they offer omakase according to their official website. With a curious mindset, I made a reservation. It turned out to be a hidden gem of a place! - Among the few restaurants that serve a lot of Japanese food, this is one of them. It has a simple, slightly old-fashioned decor style. There are very few bar seats, only for customers who reserve omakase. The head chef is quite efficient, managing everything and chatting with the customers cheerfully. - The food is truly homely with a touch of finesse, and the ingredients are unexpectedly delicious! Moreover, many of the ingredients are directly imported from Japan, which I never expected to find here! The spot prawns are incredibly fresh! I can have three portions of Hokkaido abalone! And this crab, it's truly beautiful and generously served! - Towards the end, I was really full, very full, very full. The slices of raw fish on each nigiri were really big and substantial. Such sincerity! I would definitely come back again! Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised by their udon noodles. I never expected them to be so delicious. I could just come here next time just for a bowl of udon noodles.🙂 #BayAreaLiving #WeekendInBayArea #GlobalFoodieSquad #JapaneseFoodExploration #JapaneseCuisine #Foodie #WeekendExploration #HiddenGems #APlaceThatHasBeenDiscovered #Exploration #BayAreaCuisine

Hot and comfortable Old-School Beef Noodle House in San Francisco🍜

🍜PPQ Beef Noodle House 📍 1816 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122 - An old-school beef noodle shop in San Francisco that has maintained its taste for decades. I had a good impression when I tried it a while ago, so I couldn't resist revisiting when I saw it nearby. Since my stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, I wanted something hot and comforting, and a bowl of Pho seemed perfect. - The portion of noodle soup is generous, even the medium-sized bowl is enough. The vegetables, broccoli 🥦 and shrimp rolls, are fresh, and the service is fast! Indeed, enjoying hot noodle soup while it's still hot is the most comforting. - PPQ Beef Noodle House offers a combination of raw beef slices, beef balls, beef tripe, and more in a bowl of noodle soup, making it the most diverse bowl of beef noodle. I personally love it! You can taste all the different ingredients in one go. - Another favorite of mine is the Five-Spice Chicken. The noodle soup and chicken pieces are served separately. The broth for the noodle soup is flavorful, and the chicken is fried to perfection - crispy and tender. You can have a spoonful of noodle soup and a bite of chicken separately or mix it according to your preference. #WeekendIdeaInBayArea #BayAreaLiving #BayArea #BayAreaCuisine #FoodRecommendation #Foodie #PopularFoodOnXiaohongshu #MyFoodDiary #WeekendFoodAdventure #FoodHunting #OldSchoolEstablishment

Chicken Liver Salad in a French Restaurant 😍

🥘 Mathilde French Bistro 📍 315 5th St, San Francisco, CA 94107 ▫️ This small French restaurant near my home has been standing for years and is always on the Michelin recommended list and various food review rankings. ▫️ I've been here a few times before the pandemic, and the impression has always been great. The portions are generous, the taste is rich, and it feels authentic! ▫️ Coming back after the pandemic, I ordered my favorite Scallop that I always get, and it's still delicious! This time, I tried their new dish, Chicken Liver Salad 🥗, and it's absolutely amazing! 🥹 It's so tasty that it brought tears to my eyes! Next time, I should just order two servings and have it as my main course! The chicken liver is so tender!!! The portion they gave is very generous, the plate is fully filled with chicken livers, hardly any green leafy vegetables can be seen 😂 ▫️ The duck leg is also a classic! If you love steak, their steak is also very good! ▫️ The dessert selection is not extensive, but the portion is generous. Sharing one dessert between two people is definitely enough 🤩 Truly a hidden gem of a French restaurant right at my doorstep! #GlobalFoodieSquad #MyFoodDiary #FoodieDaily #Foodie #FoodSharing #RedBookHotFood #MyFoodSecrets #FeedPhoneFirst #BayAreaFood #FrenchRestaurant #FrenchCuisine #BayAreaLiving

My Three-Month Home Renovation Odysse

After three grueling months, my home renovation marathon has finally concluded! While my partner is buzzing with plans for our next DIY construction project, I’m left utterly drained—seriously, I never want to see a paint can again! 😅 The whole ordeal was intense; juggling work and supervising the crew left me with no time for proper meals, resulting in an unexpected 8lb weight loss in just one and a half months! Our 2100 sqft home underwent some serious changes, with walls coming down and new ones going up—thankfully, no load-bearing structures were touched! If you’re considering a renovation, here’s a pro tip: if you hire local contractors, be prepared for some blame-shifting when things don’t go as planned. Don’t let them wiggle out of responsibility! Stand your ground and demand satisfaction, or don’t hesitate to switch teams. We swapped crews mid-project, and it was as smooth as butter—just an hour to hand over the reins! For those looking to save time and money on materials, here are a few tricks: start with mid-to-high-end cabinet shops for quotes, and consider alternatives like IKEA for accessories. For countertops, opt for integrated options that match your cabinets. And when it comes to tiles, Floor & Decor is a gem for quality and convenience! #HomeRenovation #BayAreaLiving #DIYProjects #HomeImprovement What’s your biggest renovation tip?
