Don't judge the restaurant by it's name (April 28, 2014)

Went to San Francisco for my grandmother's 80th birthday, that night we ate at La Petite Camille Vietnamese Cuisine, sounds like an Italian restaurant right? I was skeptical at first then we went inside the restaurant and ordered. For the appetizer I had the fresh shrimp spring rolls with spicy peanut sauce, it was the bomb! the spring roll has a lot of shrimp meat unlike other spring rolls I had before, the vegetables tasted fresh and they give a decent amount servings. For the main course (Pic 1) Barbecue chicken with a sweet spicy vinaigrette sauce (Pic 2) Boiled pork with a sweet spicy vinaigrette sauce too, they both taste juicy good but my favorite is the pork one. Also ordered shrimp fried rice that I ate most of it, beef fried rice and (Pic 3)beef won ton soup. Got Thai iced tea for my drink. I am very satisfied with this Vietnamese restaurant and will be eating here again when I'm in SFO again.

What's with the K-Cup (April 24, 2014)

So I went to Target and bought some K-Cups for my Keurig, after 45 minutes of staring at a bazzilion selections I decided to get a few K-Cups to try for this week. So I tried this Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee by: Archer Farms, well so far so good not too sweet and it doesn't taste like watered down coffee. I usually take a sip before I add creamer (usually whole milk or sweet cream by coffee-mate). I tried other K cups in the past but starting today I will review them all and choose my top favorite of the week.

Hot dog afternoon (April 23, 2014)

Today was craving for some hot dogs, well there is Costco but I went for something new... So I went to Sinbads hot dogs at Silver State Plaza N. McCarran Sparks. I ordered the Polish dog with everything on it ( mustard, ketchup, relish, onions and tomatoes) yes I said tomatoes! I know it was weird for me but surprisingly good, also ordered a chili cheese dog pretty tasty and a regular drink $15.00 for everything, the lady at the counter is really friendly but the place is hot and needed some ventilation. Overall not bad for a local hot dog place since the 80's and will eat here again soon.
