Wednesday, July 27th, 2011Burma Superstar in San Francisco
Friday, July 8th, 2011
I was told about Burma Superstar by Shalou and Eric (who got married in April and I was there, cameras in tow)(their wedding was fantastic and I can’t wait to show everyone!).
For now, just a big thank you to them for telling me about this restaurant. I had stir-fried pea shoots and coconut rice with crispy onions on top. Divine!

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011Nancy Silverton perfects the art of take out pizza
Sunday, July 3rd, 2011Mozza is the Los Angeles pizzeria created by Nancy Silverton. They are artisans and even their take out food is amazing.
I was in LA recently and caught up with Elisha and Buzzy (they had a very cool wedding in April, photos coming soon soon soon) for dinner. They suggested four restaurants, each one being a fine choice. However, they got me with their offer to order in from the famous Mozza. Apparently there are strict rules for how to serve the to-go items and of course the packaging is p-r-e-t-t-y.
Here’s what we had:
Rucola, funghi and piave salad
Meatballs al forno
Squash Blossom Pizza (with buratta, which Elisha added, per the Mozz-2-Go instructions, right before serving)
Salami and Spinach Pizza
Butterscotch Budino for dessert Can I just say, oh my, so utterly delish! I now think of my life as “Before Budino” and “After I had Budino”
High tea at The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus in San Francisco
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011At last, I’ve had High Tea at The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus in San Francisco. I went with my High Tea Buddy, Desiree. Whenever we see each other, we find a new place for tea. The Rotunda was a new favorite. It’s got that amazing glass dome ceiling (with great light, a photographer’s dream). Then there are the cushy red velvet chairs, sandwiches with crusts cut off and waitstaff that makes you feel like royalty. Oh, and I had a fantastic pot of Organic Emperor’s Jasmine White tea.
