A Good Catch

Today I went with my family and grandmother to Pacific Catch Seafood Restaurant.  It's in San Francisco. I got three tacos, one grilled mahi mahi, fried fish, and fried shrimp.  They came with sweet potato fries.

Quickly

I went to Quickly in downtown San Mateo with friends.  Above is the peach snowball with tapioca, which was quite tasty.  I'm definitely going to get that again.

This is the fried octopus.  It's a little different tasting than squid, or fried calamari.  I can now say that I've tried octopus.

Lumpia

I went over to my friend's house to make traditional Phillipino lumpia.  We used ground pork, shredded carrots, chopped celery, onion, garlic, some salt and pepper, and bean sprouts.

Mixing the filling

Frying the lumpia

The final product.  Nice and golden brown.  They were delicious.

Old Town Sushi

I ordered the combination dinner, which included a Dragon Roll which has crab meat, unagi, avocado, tempura shrimp, and salmon roe.

The huge plate of chicken teriyaki that also came with the dinner.  Old Town Sushi is the Japanese restaurant to go to if you want large portions and good tasting food.  Right in Downtown San Mateo on B Street.

Teacake Cupcakes

So friends and I went to Teacake Cupcakes store on Burlingame Ave.  and I got pink velvet and chocolate cupcakes.  A little disappointed.  Not as good as Sprinkles.

Little Lucca's

Roast Beef on a soft roll from Little Lucca's in Burlingame.  One of the best sandwich shops, ever.

Pizzawhat?

The pizookie from BJ's restaurant.  We got 2 chocolate chip and one OREOs one.

Sad Curry

Curry seafood from Gold Island restaurant in San Mateo.  It was disappointing because it was way too spicy, and they didn't give much seafood.

Naked What?

Friends and I went to Naked Fish Japanese restaurant in Millbrae for lunch.  We had a coupon for this free soft shell crab appetizer, which was alright.  Overall though, the food was subpar, and they even charge for to-go boxes, which is crazy.  Oh, by the way, their Happy house bento boxes aren't so happy when you can't do substitutions.

Last Day of Whites!

Monday was our last day of wearing all white scrubs, as well as the last clinical day for our second semester.  I'll be wearing colored scrubs during the summer for pediatrics and maternity.  So excited!

Mother's Day Dinner

Rack of lamb, roasted potatoes with rosemary, and roasted asparagus for Mother's Day.  Chocolate cupcakes for dessert.

Egg Puffs

Warm, soft, crispy, cakey egg puffs from Dessert Republic in San Mateo.

Grilled Chicken Pesto

Grilled chicken breast with mozzarella cheese, pesto sauce and roasted tomatoes on a focaccia roll.  Yum, straight from the Elephant Bar.

Scones

These are the scones I made today to go with the lemon curd I made the other day.  They look great.  I hope they taste as good as they look.

Katsu

Chicken katsu with rice from L & L Hawaiian BBQ.

Lemon curd

The lemon curd I just made with lemons from my friend's tree.  Turned out great, and easier than last time, now that I have a sieve.

Brownies

So I made brownies to bring to dinner with friends.  2 dozen brownies.  I think I need to put them a little lower in the oven.  The tops got done before the rest of the brownies, but they turned out alright.
