Ettan
Dinner courtesy of a vendor. This was my first time dining here. It’s one of Chef Srijith Gopinathan’s restaurants who also has Copra (which we love) and formerly from Campton Place which had 2 Michelin stars. I started with a Kokam and Smoke cocktail because it had mecval and citrus. It was a bit too

Birdsong – sake maker dinner with IWA 5
We last ate here in June 2019 in between our birthdays. I remember where we sat and having a good time and I also remember the numerous homeless people out in front of the restaurant. They were a Michelin 1-star back then, but picked up a second star in 2021. Andrea had mentioned this place

Plumed Horse
This is one of the few Michelin starred restaurants in the Bay area at which I haven’t dined, so when there was a vendor dinner being hosted there I did accept the invite (plus this is a vendor I very much do like and they also had a presentation from the hacker Freaky Clown). I

Liholiho Yacht Club
This was a random Thursday dinner since Andrea was working downtown in the office and so we figured we may as well grab some dinner downtown. We were trying to go relatively low key since we had just been gorging ourselves in Las Vegas over the extended weekend. We ended up going to LihoLiho Yacht

Morimoto
Our last meal here. I picked Morimoto since it would be different from the two meals of Chinese food we already had at Din Tai Fung and Hakkasan. We had eaten at Morimoto Asia in Napa in October, but found it meh. Many years ago (2012!) we had eaten at Morimoto in Napa and I

Goldilocks
We had a great time here last year, so we had to come back. We were having dinner later so we did try to be judicious in our ordering. We ordered lumpia, kare-kare, sinigang with pork, and pork adobo fried rice. For dessert two options for halo halo, the regular and the golden halo halo

Hakkasan
We last ate at a Hakkasan in San Francisco when my parents were visiting. I remember it being elevated Chinese food and I remember the prime location it had and the interior, but I don’t really remember too much more than that. That location closed, but i did know there were many other Hakkasans still

Sugarcane
Quick lunch in the Ventian. Decided on this place since it had a lot of lighter dishes since we would be eating out at Hakkasan later this evening. We both started with some bloody mary’s. It was a decent bloody mary and came with a whole piece of bacon. I assume that was there to

é by José Andrés
This has to be one of the more difficult reservations to get in Las Vegas given that it only seats 9 (with perhaps only the Omakase seating for Wakuda being more difficult with only 6 seats…challenge accepted!). I hadn’t planned far enough in advance to book a reservation, but asked to be on the wait

Din Tai Fung
We missed eating out here last year, so I was looking forward to finally eating here. It’s all about the dumplings here so we were going to definitely try a lot of those. We had ordered cucumber salad, hot & sour soup, shrimp fried rice, green beans and bunch of dumplings of course! The first
