food, food, food

finally, i have downloaded all the pics from my camera-phone, something that i have been meaning to do, so i can start food-blogging.

instead of writing separate entries for all the food that i have consumed (hahaha, that would be a lot!), i have decided to just put everything under this 'food, food, food' post. let's see what happens.

for the month of august -- here are some of the old (and new) places my friends and i visited to satisfy our cravings.

my favorite cup of cappuccino from urth cafe

'taste,' a new restaurant along melrose ave. this is where i celebrated
my last birthday with my friends. it is located a few steps away from
hollywood hang-out lucques, where we saw ryan philippe.

chili's, located along san bruno avenue in san bruno. it is located

steps away from the courtyard marriott where we usually stay when we
travel up north. how strange is this? the past three times i went to san francisco,
i stayed at the courtyard, in the exact same freaking room!

buddha's belly, along beverly boulevard. my friends and i had dinner
here one time. the place was packed! i did not enjoy the food, though.
j's ginger fried rice was good; m's steak was delicious, i ordered
something soup-y and it tasted blah, blah, bland.

the softshell crab appetizer was good, the sauce kinda tangy.

another appetizer: vietnamese spring rolls. cpk's version is way, way better.

my tasteless, character-less and bland meal. i don't think i'd ever
make the mistake of ordering this at buddha's belly. beware!

the ginger fried rice. something new (the name) and something old (the taste).
still, i've had better fried rice before. i like the plate.

the steak. with extenders galore. hahaha. i liked this one.
