I have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Pineapple King bakery ever since my dear Honeyberry left the scene. It was a sad day when I discovered my beloved roti buns were gone. I had only hoped they could be replaced by something as or at least nearly as delightful. Today finally the grand opening of this bakery was amass with hungry people. The new staff was overwhelmed but courteous. Their “hot buns” consist of…
Godiva’s vanilla bean soft serve is so indulgent. We discerned that it tastes like condensed milk. Very sweet, very good. Hard to enjoy a whole cone though because of how rich it is. Good thing in my enthusiasm, I accidentally threw the remains of the toffee nut & chocolate cone. Sometimes sweets should just be a small nibble. Baby-sized, you could say.
Photo credit: Smity Well, I’m back. Finally little sister and mom can try Swich. Earl grey pudding is a must for sister because she loves that flavor in non-tea items. Topped with an almond cookie, it was just as good as I remember. They made the banana cream pie for us again & it was even better than before. What I missed the first time was a slight burnish sweet finish to the chocolate lining…
Hello sweet pomelo! Your brilliant flesh is shelled in a hard and thick exterior. You seem like you don’t care but I know you do. Why else would you taste so divine? Someone told me not to eat citrus while breastfeeding. So I avoided cuties (wink) & all the things that taste citrus-y & good. Then I decided, what the hey! I’m going to go for it. If baby tells me it’s a no-go, I’ll…
Let me tell you about a boy named Zack. He is a culinary genius, this boy. Zack made all the delightful cupcakes for my baby shower. I still have one saved in my freezer because it’s beautiful. He made such perfect frosting, not too sweet & just right. He just graduated culinary school and so sweetly shared a pecan square that is sticky and so delicious. The crust is buttery, rich & flakey. I shared…
Oh boy, just you wait until little sister tries this. She’s going to lose it. This pudding is fantastic. Let me tell you why. The thickness of the grey pudding is just right. Not the light stuff. You could call it… Grey matter! Ha! A perfect explanation for a pudding so simple & decadent at the same time. I did something. I put it in the freezer to see how it stacks up frozen. I’ve…
Another delight from Swich, my new favorite dessert spot. Honestly, the profiterole was not my favorite, despite it having coffee ice cream sandwiched in between with almond slices as garnishment. I really love pastries. Good pastries. Hot, fresh out of the oven pastries. Luckily, that banana cream pie I was drooling about earlier was clear and certain redemption. The pie, a perfect cube, is carefully constructed with large chucks of banana & its cream. A…
Crepes. That is single handedly one of my favorite snacks. And if you eat two, well, that’s practically a balanced meal. So baby got his shots Tuesday. It’s a big deal because vaccination is critical in an era where once eradicated diseases are making a comeback because parents are electing to not immunize their children. This puts not only their child at risk, but all of those that either cannot be vaccinated due to compromised…
As a new mommy and longtime foodie, I am thrilled to share my journey in food discoveries and childhood adventures! Something close to my heart, sweets, was enjoyed tonight at a local shop that opened up recently in the Sunset neighborhood in San Francisco. Swich features ice cream sandwiches but my new favorite is their pies. Their banana cream pie is a delight, encased in a square crust. Tonight I tried their apple pie, a…
