I was in Oakland, California for a day and a bit a few weeks ago, and I knew that I would be grabbing lunch in the area. I had a Mexican dinner planned and also another meal to discover for myself, so I went on Yelp to find the good eats and found this savory…

Humongous Sandwich from King George
Ever encounter lunches when you aren’t satisfied with your sandwich? That will never happen to you at King George, which I visited with my sister the other day. You will undoubtedly get a more than satisfying big bite sandwich here. I love all the color there is on the vegetarian sandwich with pastrami. Yes… sorry,…
Best view and Modern Californian food at Georges at the Cove, San Diego
La Jolla, San Diego. If that is a yet to go destination for you, I highly suggest you go there and to go to Georges at the Cove in La Jolla. Californian modern cuisine at its best, the view in San Diego at its best, there really is only positive here. Especially for me, because…
BLT, Shrimp and Avocado Sandwich at place in the sun, Tokyo
Out of rush and hunger, I was in search for a lunch cafe, restaurant, eatery or anything I could find between my business meetings. Very randomly, I found a standing blackboard as I walked towards my upcoming meeting, which read “place in the sun. Sandwiches and burgers” so with no doubt, I headed towards where…
Tomato soup and sandwich at Grim’s, Seattle
The other night in rainy Tokyo, I looked out the window and thought “I want tomato bisque for dinner tonight.” I was never a big fan of tomato bisque, so my next thought was “what has gotten into me?” Then I realized that only about 10 days ago, I had met really tasty tomato soup…
Good Honest Grub, Tokyo
If you’re looking for healthy, organic, American/Western food, go to Good Honest Grub. Miya introduced this place to Jessi and me, and we went for brunch at this cafe that looks like it is in a residential house. Though, the cafe was a tiny little bit hard to find, I loved its atmosphere with dark…
Nicolai Bergmann Nomu, Omotesando, Tokyo
Really digging Omotesando these days. It is a place of shopping, cafes, and restaurants, and also it is where Tokyo’s famous farmer’s market is on the weekends. I have been making many trips there lately on my bike, and I love it! My favorite Anderson Bakery is there and so is Maisen (pork tonkatsu restaurant)….
Homemade pastrami sandwich
My Mom knows best. Costco allowed us to have access to pastrami deli meat in Japan, and my mom made beautiful sandwiches. Sandwiches at my parents’ house is usually egg sandwich (this is so good. Find a post here), BLT, or grilled ham and cheese sandwich, so this was special. With whole grain mustard on…
Avocado cream cheese sandwich and hummus sandwich, Cafe Akira, Tokyo
Introduction to a vegetarian lunch at Cafe Akira, which is a cozy cafe located near my office. I am always curious when I see hummus on menus, and this place had a board with their hummus sandwich photo on it so there was no doubt that I was missing this opportunity to come here. But…
Toasted avocado, ham, and cheese sandwich
I’ve been waiting to update and sandwich post because I have several I want to post here, but I was worried that I would sandwich-out my readers and lose some of your attention, so I did not post but here it is! Don’t worry sandwich lovers, I will post what I am hiding 😉 This…
Homemade falafel
New challenge in my kitchen. I had never made falafels before but with Jessi’s idea, we bought chickpeas, garlic, cilantro (this herb has three names in Japanese… cilantro, coriander, and pakuchi (sorry, I don’t know how it is spelled)), and all the other good stuff that goes into making tasty falafels. It was a very…
Homemade toasted smoked salmon sandwich
Sandwich: “a food item consisting of two or more slices of bread with one or more fillings between them.” (Wikipedia) Very bland and simple definition in a good way because you can be creative with it. I think the key ingredient that decides the quality is the bread. So when I have good pieces of…
