Stack's in Burlingame

361 California Dr
Burlingame, CA 94010

Occasion: Sunday Brunch on a rainy day.

French Toast
It's one of my favorite breakfast foods. I can almost always have it for breakfast. We each got a breakfast entree and decided to share this. Delicious especially after you drench it in syrup. It came with a little holder filled with an apple jam with chunks of apple. Personally, I enjoyed it without the jam. French toast is good just the way it was, a little bit of powdered sugar and syrup. YUMMY!


Italian Fritatta
Spicy Italian sausage, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives, topped with marinara sauce & mozzarella cheese
For breakfast, I really felt like an omelette, but I saw fritatta on the menu and decided to get this instead. This one appealed to me most because i love mushrooms and green peppers. The marinara sauce and the mozzarella cheese was delicious as well, but it reminded me of a pizza especially with the chopped up pieces of italian sausage. It was good and I was hungry. I cleaned the plate!! woohoo!

Sausage and mushroom skillet topped with sunny side up eggs.
Too rich for me. It was filled with diced up potatoes, sausages, mushrooms and topped with cheese. It was flavorful, but not my ideal breakfast food. There's nothing healthy about this. haha.

Crab Landing

260 Capistrano Rd
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

Occasion: Saturday Brunch!

The pesto dipping in the middle was off the hook. Their breads were warm and super soft. We filled ourselves up with the breads!

New England Clam Chowder
Loved the big chunks of clam and creamy soup. Perfect for the cold, gloomy and drizzling day!
Crab Landing Louie
with dungeness crab, avocado, hard boiled egg, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and louie dressing
Delicious. I'm glad we ordered one thing pretty light. It was very refreshing and they did not skimp on the portion of the dungeness crab. I had that in every bite of my salad. I loved everything in the salad. Diana and I shared this and the salmon.
Salmon stuffed with crab
with mashed potatoes and string beans
It was a special for the day. When our waitress described it to us that day, I totally did not think it would end up looking like sushi pieces. Each piece was wrapped in seaweed that was glazed with bread crumbs to deep fry. It was DELICIOUS and very FILLING. Loved how it was presented. The crispy outsides were great and the salmon was a bit on the dry side but I loved how it was stuffed with crab meat. So good. I love the combination of ingredients. It was a very big lunch which ruined my appetite for dinner.
Crab Sandwich
came with fries
Helder's lunch. I didn't get to try it, but he said it was pretty good, so I take his word for it!

5A5 Steakhouse

244 Jackson St
San Francisco, CA 94111

Occasion: Annie Doan's Quarter Century!


Fries
Best Fries ever!!! Love Love Loved it...especially when you dip it into their delicious aioli sauce. It is so addiciting. I love how the fries are fat!

6oz Filet Mignon
Cooked medium rare. It was nice and tender and still a bit warm when I got it. The sauce used to garnish over it was a bit sweet. Enjoyed it, but did not LOVE it.

Boiling Crab

1631 E Capitol Expressway #101
San Jose, CA 95121
Occasion: Thursday night outing to boiling crab. We were craving it!
Medium Shabang Crab
Shared this between 3 people. Medium is definitely too spicy for me.

My Very Own Mild Shrimp
We ordered three pounds of bag. I had to get my very own mild shrimp. It was delicious, but spicy at the same time...you know to the point where your nose starts running. Next time I gotta get it with no spice.
The Food on the table
There was no room to eat at boiling crab so we ordered it to go and ate it at Diana's sister's house. hahaha.

Hamburger Haven

800 Clement St
San Francisco, CA 94118

Occasion: Wednesday Night Dinner!


Mushroom Burger
One of the oldest burger joints I have been to, where they don't take ATM/Credit cards, their cashiers looked like they belong in the early 1900's. It was great. I liked the burger I had. Greasy, but tasty. It gave me a different kind of satisfaction than In and Out or McDonald's would.

Spaghetti
I tried a bite of Diana's spaghetti and to my surprise, it was pretty good. The sauce was tasty with bits of meat in it.
