The Easter season is coming to a close, and many fast food establishments will start to take their seasonal fish sandwiches off their menus. But you can always count on a few restaurants — McDonald's in particular — to always have a fish option on their permanent menu. I've avoided giving a review of the... Continue Reading →
Donut Bar + Cool Jerk Contribution
If you haven't already guessed it, I'm a donut fiend. A trip to a new city isn't complete until I check out their donut scene. While Portland, Austin, Beverly Hills (the now defunct but fabulous Fritelli's) and San Francisco all have amazing artisinal donuts, I've been longing for San Diego to have a donut scene of...

March Birthdays, Eating Noodles + Pasta Carbonara Recipe
Everything about me screams Americanized Filipina. Although I crave Filipino food once in a while, I don't own a rice cooker. I'm married to a Caucasian husband who wore a barong to our wedding, the only Filipino thing about the event. Sure, there are the fish sandwich reviews around Lent, but we don't celebrate the...

Friday’s Fast-Food Fishtacular! – Jack in the Box NEW Fish Sandwich
The last time I had a Jack in the Box fish sandwich was for this blog. I thought it was average and unmemorable so I never went back. Sitting at a red light I spied a Jack in the Box window poster touting a "new" fish sandwich. I decided to pay another visit. After all,... Continue Reading →
A Cake for Any Occasion: Yellow Cake + Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting

But recently I had to use up a large amount of buttermilk. I could have gone the easy route and whipped up a batch... Continue Reading →
Friday Fast-Food Fishtacular— Del Taco’s Beer-Battered Fish Tacos
It's a slippery slope. That's what I told Darlene when she suggested I do a Friday fast-food fish sandwich review of Del Taco. See, Del Taco serves tacos, not fish sandwiches. But that logic was my own undoing when I reviewed the McDonald's Fish McBites last month. Fish balls does not equal fish sandwiches. So... Continue Reading →
A Glance at Grocery Store Donuts: H Mart and Whole Foods Del Mar
In my mind I had several posts ready to go: a cookie recipe, another restaurant in my neighborhood of Kearny Mesa, a food delivery service and some random food stuffs. But I didn't have the heart, at least this week, to do a post on them. Instead I shifted through photos and found random donut... Continue Reading →
Friday Fast-Food Fishtacular—Wendy’s Premium Cod Fillet Sandwich
This is just a quick update: I noticed Wendy's had a differently named seasonal fish sandwich so a return trip was in order. Was it a superficial name change or was it a complete overhaul? I had to investigate! Ever been faked out by your own taste expectations? Like when you want a Coke, you... Continue Reading →
