Hazel "is nuts" F.'s Profile

The broth here is more simple. I think everyone's favorite thing here was actually the dumplings so make sure to order that.

Of all the soon tofu places I've been to, this is my favorite. It has the most homemade feeling to it. The broth is thick and flavorful.

I like this place. I didn't even realize it was open 24 hours. I like that it's cheap fun and that it comes with a bar and coffee shop right next door.

I wish I had stopped by here sooner. There's one reason this place is awesome, and it is mostly because they have Portuguese Sausage Breakfast for around 6 bucks.  I recommend getting their other Portuguese Sausage dish that is served with their house salsa poured all over it. They also have a pretty good banana creme pie. You can definitely eat good here without breaking the bank.

I started getting into drinking kombucha. Mostly because I have allergy to dairy so the only way for me to have probiotics is through kombucha. It's not the greatest tasting thing in the world at first. But you get used to it, and actually start to crave it. It smells like vinegar, and goes down like vinegar, but it doesn't taste like vinegar. I've had a teacher tell me once that the the smelliest things are usually the best tasting things and this may be true. But anyway, they have a florescent sign out front that says kombucha, so i was expecting home brewed kombucha, but instead they just carry the a good selection of bottled kombucha. I'm just happy that there is a convenient place for me to get kombucha. I've had a few of their juices. Sometimes they are out of ingredients which is understandable. I like the huge patio in the back. It feels serene. I've just never had enough incentive to stay and hang out. They are also open late for a juice bar. Cash only.

All I did back home was eat, and this was definitely one of the places on island with a more creative and refreshing menu. This is located on the ground floor of the Bay View Hotel on San Vitores Rd on the hill that connects Rt 1 to Tumon. We went during lunch time, and it was pretty quiet.  I had ordered the Jalepeno and Corn Soup which was a great combination. The Mac and Cheese had the option of being spicy, which I did. It was good and saucy, but may have needed more salt. Then I shared a Miso Creme Dory, which was sweet and a little spicy. Fish was light and flaky. I always love rice and fish so this is definitely something I would order again.  I also got a bite of the house burger, which was seasoned and cooked well. Loved the griddle cheese it's served with. i would definitely keep this place on my rotation if i lived in Guam. Everything we ordered had a spice component to it, but I think that was a coincidence or that many of their menu items are spicy.

You must visit the basement here especially when there is live music. It feels like someone's nice basement down there. I wouldn't mind having a basement as cozy as theirs.  I had ordered a bubbly wine flight. (Didn't even notice-just that I had ordered a Pinot Noir). I really did like the one that ended the flight. I believe it was the pinot noir. I still remember the way those bubbles felt of the roof of my mouth.  Then when you are done listening to some music and trying some beer, you can go upstairs and buy some beer or wine. I was happy to find they had hatachino nest white ale. I love its floral notes of jasmine.

I had to celebrate Christmas in town far away from family. So what did I end up doing? I watched a movie on Christmas eve, then I had coffee at Intelligentsia the next morning, biked the river path, got hungry, and happened to see people walk into El Buen Gusto. This is an El Salvadorian place so there is a lot of seafood on the menu, but there is also Mexican food.  I ended up getting tacos, a few tamales, and of course, pupusas.The pupusas were great. So were the dessert plantains that was served with sour cream. Christmas day that involved no traveling and without the possible stress that cooking gargantuan amounts of food: pretty awesome.

I've only been in the area about three times in my lifetime. But for some reason two of three times I've been to Napa, we ended up at Azzurro PIzzeria. This is most likely because there was always someone in the group looking for a good pizza. I haven't gone through their pizza menu much, but I remember it being good pizza. We always end up with one the salads that is served on top of the pizza bread. My favorite thing here is actually their spaghetti. I just love that it has olives in it. I remember craving for it for the longest time. Service is good. Space is clean and bright. I like the big table with a bench for large groups. I've been here when it was both busy and quiet.

I came in on a Wednesday night. It is pretty quiet, but it is perfect with their courtyard setting and christmas lights. There is also a DJ spinning so it makes it for a nice place to hang out on a Wednesday night. The kitchen is open until about midnight and the offerings are definitely better than your average bar. I got the red quinoa salad and my friends got the ahi tuna tacos, parmesan fries, sweet potato fries, and pulled pork sandwich. Make sure to order any of their fries with a side of their spicy aoli. It's probably just Siracha mayo but I never thought of having it with my fries. My date said that that his ahi tuna burger was good enough for him to come back just for it. He was actually singing praises of how good it was. We were all pretty happy with our food. I ordered something from their cocktail menu and I ended up with something that had tequila. It was good. Also if you didn't know the entrance in an alley. I parked on Kingsley and Vermont, in a $5 lot. When you leave here later they force you to finish up in the back in their smaller bar. I've had a few run-ins with some interesting people here, including feeling like I was stuck back there with off duty Broadway singers.
