Review: Yuubi SF
One of my favorite sushi places lately. There’s so many different rolls and its not only yummy, its really pretty also. Like a work of art. We went there for dinner recently before Jeff’s mom leave for her Taiwan trip.
Prices are reasonable plus they have free valet parking. How great is that! And..if you check in on Foursquare, you get a big bottle of hot sake for $1.
Ok, now down to the things that we ordered. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to take pictures of all the food we ordered. =( But I did manage to get some. =D
Hmm..actually I’m not sure what this is but it was good. lol I guess its a Japanese version of fried boxing chicken.
Vegetable Tempura appetizer.
Chicken Karaage
My You Be roll. Its so pretty!.
Crispy Cube roll. Tempura rice sheet with spicy tuna and pineapple.
Sakura roll. Crispy daikon on the outside with tuna, lobster meat and mango on the inside
Chicken teriyaki. The portion is crazy big lol. We couldn’t finish it and had to take it home.
Can’t wait to go back again so I can try all the different rolls they have.
Review: Boudin Bakery
Ahhh..clam chowder…so gooood. I was craving for clam chowder for quite a while now ever since I had the dream that I was going to get clam chowder. My dream felt so real! I was walking into the shop and looking at what I wanted to order. I can even taste the clam chowder.
The next thing I knew…I was late for work because I was busy dreaming and overslept. LOL. So I told Jeff about it and he was like..ok..lets go get some clam chowder this Friday. hehe
We went to the Boudin inside Macy’s because the other location was closed. Their menu options were actually cheaper than what I expected. Soup and salad combo was only $8.59 and the options were good. I think its a good lunch place to go to.
Anyways, I got the clam chowder in the bread bowl for $6.39 and Jeff ordered the Fra’ Mani Artisan Ham & Brie sandwich that comes with salad for $7.49. The clam chowder was so good..I think I can eat 3 bowls in one sitting. hehe
Breads and cookies on display. The Easter cookie is so cute!
Waiting!

Office Birthdays
We celebrated Tiffany and Danny’s birthday in the office recently. Joint celebration since their birthday was only a few days apart. We ordered sandwiches from Prime Dip and it was yum yum. We ordered it through GrubHub and there was a $10 delivery fee but it was alright since it was shared between so many people.
I also stopped by California Bakery on the way to work to pick up a Tiramisu cake and we also had soju!!
Happy Birthday to Tiff and Danny!
Jason posing!
Everyone just waiting for Tiff to cut the cake up

Review: Ozone Thai Lunch
Wheee..one of my favorite lunch spots. Its a to-go only lunch line situated outside Ozone Thai on 2nd and Brannan St.
You get to choose between white rice, brown rice and fried rice plus 2 sides for only $6 for the white rice, $7 for the brown and $8 for the fried rice. How great is that! Plus..the portions are HUGE! It usually lasts me for 2 meals lol.
Where else in the SOMA can you get lunch for 2 meals for $6. There’s usually a tofu dish, a vege dish, 2 kinds of curry and 2 other random dishes. I usually go for a curry side and a chicken/tofu side. Hmmm so yummy too.

Review: Sushi Bistro
We recently went to Sushi Bistro for our 2nd year anniversary. It was a last minute thing that we decided to go there because I was craving for sushi hehe. We originally wanted to go to Yuubi but then decided to go to Sushi Bistro instead because we’ve never tried it out and the reviews look good on Yelp.
We ordered the omega-3 roll, the new legend, the snow crab classic roll and a chicken teriyaki. The rolls were really good. The plain snow crab roll came first and we were like..wow this taste great. And then the omega-3 came and we were like..ok this is even better than the snow crab roll.
Then..when the new legend roll came..we were like..omg this is the best. hahah. The new legend was really good. I would definitely get that when I go there again. The roll portions were big and the price was reasonable.
Between the two of us, we got 3 rolls and a chicken teriyaki set and we were pretty full. Can’t wait to go back again. Oh..they also serve all kinds of sake there with a bar area.
I wanted to take more pictures but the whole place was so dim that I could barely see my food lol. I’m surprised these pictures look alright after editing it because I can’t see anything before it was edited.

Omega 3 roll – deep fried albacore, salmon, avocado and asparagus, topped with fresh albacore, salmon and tobiko, drizzled with spicy soy

Hmm..I didn’t take a picture of the new legend roll! T_T I guess I was too excited to try it. lol.
Julep Maven March
Another month another Julep box!! This month, we opted for the It girl box. It came with 3 nail polishes and a strawberry mint lip balm. The 3 polishes are Julep Shenae, Julep Simone and Julep Teri.
As usual, we split it in the office and now we have 3 girls working there so we split it evenly. hehe. I ended up with the Simone.Its a slightly metallic light purple color. I will post pictures when I use it.

Review: Naked Chorizo
A Spanish Filipino food truck. It was near us recently so we went there to grab lunch. Overall, I think the food was good but it was kinda overpriced plus portions were kinda small.
I ordered the chicken inasal which is basically lemongrass chicken over salad plus some mangoes and salsa. The chicken was good and the smell was so gooood hahaha. My only complaint was that the portion was small and that cost $8.50.
I also shared an order of lumpia with my co-worker. It was 6 lumpias for $6 but it was really small. It was only the size of my index finger but it was really yummy.
So as I said, food was good but portions were small and prices are kinda high.

Review: Neutrogena crease proof eye shadow swatches
I’ve recently received some samples courtesy of BzzAgent and Neutrogena. They gave me 4 items to try out.
- crease proof eye shadow in constant copper
- crease proof eye shadow in lasting taupe
- MoistureSmooth color stick in sweet watermelon
- healthy lengths mascara in black
I’ve yet to actually use these items but I’ve taken some swatches for the eye shadows and the color stick. The color looks really distinct and the color stick smells so good. Good enough to eat lol.
Here are some pictures of it.

All of these products can be found in stores or at neutrogena.com. What I really love about these items is that t all came in a twist-up packaging so no sharpener is needed.
Genki Crepes
Cheesecake with cream and blueberry sauce crepe from Genki’s. I think this is the best crepe on the whole menu. I get this everytime I go cause nothing else can beat this. <3
This place is always packed full of people at night. Besides the crepes, I like the melon egg puff also. Hmmm…smells so good. haha.
