Why did we choose Hillsborough after seeing 100+ homes?

After looking at over 100 homes since 2022, we finally decided on Hillsborough. So, why this place? Here’s a quick rundown: 1️⃣ Palo Alto/Los Altos – Great for resale value, but not my top choice for comfort. Houses were expensive for what we got, especially near the Stanford area. 2️⃣ Cupertino – We liked the bigger homes and had some good options, but prices skyrocketed in 2023! 3️⃣ Los Altos Hills – Ideal for rebuilding, but some areas felt too isolated, and the price hikes were insane. In the end, Hillsborough checked all the boxes: spacious lots, potential ocean views, and great access to SF for work. Couldn’t resist the combo! Any tips or thoughts on the area? Would love to hear from you! #HouseHunting #BayAreaLiving #HomeSearch

Bay Area Food | 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

Bay Area Food | A festive Chinese New Year celebration 🧧 Let's eat Peking duck together

🦆 YH Beijing 颐和北京 📍 500 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117 ▫️ We made a dinner gathering with friends on the first day of the Lunar New Year and chose this American-style Chinese restaurant mainly for the Peking duck! It's necessary to make a reservation for the duck in advance, and they usually serve it three ways: roasted duck, duck bone soup, and minced duck lettuce wraps. The portion size is quite good! ▫️ Since our dining companions are from different countries, we opted for a fusion restaurant where the Peking duck is especially good! The other dishes have more of an American-Chinese taste, like this spicy tofu 🤣 it almost seems like a joke; the walnut shrimp is also very good! The shrimp is super large! The other dishes are not bad, just don't judge them based on authentic Chinese standards. ▫️ Their various kinds of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are pretty good. We ordered the crab meat, spicy, and black truffle ones, and they tasted decent! Nothing outstanding, but still tasty. The spicy one is only slightly spicy, so even those who can't handle spice can safely enjoy it; the black truffle flavor is very faint; the crab meat one was my favorite. If you're a small group, they have a platter with different flavors that you can order. ▫️ Finally, it's the Year of the Rabbit! We also ordered steamed buns in the shape of rabbits. These bunny buns are really chubby 🤣🤣🤣 chubby bunnies 🐰 Wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Rabbit! 🧧 🧧 The restaurant's Chinese New Year ambiance is truly amazing! Various hanging decorations, small ornaments, and you instantly feel like you're in the Lunar New Year! Such a festive atmosphere, love it! The restaurant was packed that night, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. #GlobalFoodieTeam #FoodDiaries #PekingDuck #MyFoodJournal #Tonight'sDinner #DateNightRestaurant #HiddenGemRestaurant #WeekendFoodAdventure #MyFoodSecrets #BayAreaFood #BayAreaLiving #ChineseNewYear #OverseasLiving

Bay Area Food | Signature Wonton and Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns at an Old Restaurant in San Francisco

🍜 Hon's Wun-Tun House 📍 733 Washington St, San Francisco, CA, 94108 In the old restaurant, Hon's Wun-Tun House, located in San Francisco's Chinatown, the new location is truly eye-catching. The clean and tidy shop, as well as the glass window where dumplings are handmade, attract people's attention and make them want to try! The new shop has not been open for long, it is spacious and clean, with a more trendy feel. The menu is also more diverse, with signature dishes including fresh shrimp wonton, wonton noodles, steamed porridge, Xiao Long Bao, and pan-fried rice rolls. Spicy Beef Tendon The beef slices are really thick! Neatly arranged with spicy oil on top, the cucumber slices underneath help balance the flavors. A great choice for an appetizer. Seaweed Shrimp Wonton Soup This bowl is really satisfying! The wontons are plump and filled with solid meat filling, visible chunks of shrimp, and the broth is refreshing. The portion of seaweed is generous. Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns Freshly cooked pan-fried buns that are super hot! They burned my mouth twice. The skin is half crispy and half tender, and inside the filling is solid. Beggar's Pouch with Intestine This one is a bit surprising! The outer skin of the intestine is super crispy, while the inside is soft and glutinous. Definitely worth a try! However, I recommend pairing it with a vegetarian dish as it can be a bit greasy. Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea + Hong Kong-Style Ying Yang The tea flavor is rich and aromatic, and it comes in a large cup, making it a great value. Char Siu Rice Noodle Rolls are their specialty, but be aware of the timing. They're only available until 3 PM, so if you want to try them, come early. We came during dinner time and missed out on them. Next time, we'll make it a point to come specifically for the rice noodle rolls. #GlobalFoodieSquad #BayAreaLiving #BayAreaFood #OldRestaurantFlavor #NewlyOpenedOldRestaurant #SanFranciscoFood #SanFranciscoExploration #SanFranciscoChinatown #FreshShrimpWonton #ChineseHeritageBrand #GuangdongRiceRolls #CharSiuRiceNoodleRolls #MyFoodDiary #HiddenGemRestaurantShare

Bay Area Food | Discover Filipino Style Brunch

🥗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

Bay Area Cuisine | You Can Also Enjoy 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
