Sweet Things

Since I'm on the subject of sweets, I decided to write this review of their decadent cakes and pastries. I think I'd like one of these bakeries like uhm, er, in my own kitchen!

Taste is crucial for a good bakery but another crucial aspect is FRESHNESS. I've been to so many run of the mill bakeries where the person at the counter whole-heartedly assured me that the cake/pastry I was about to buy was FRESH but alas, to my chagrin and sometimes anger, it turns out not! Stiff, stale bread does not make me happy.

I'm always on the hunt for a good bakery and in the thoughts of Marie Antoinette: I must eat cake! At least once a day. At least.  *sigh*

Although I haven't had an opportunity to actually physically go to the store yet, several friends have brought me cakes from this bakery for our birthdays and other business events. Let me just tell you. I LOVE their cakes!!! And I'm hard to please! I've tried their chocolate cakes of different variations and although I don't know the names, I'm pretty darn sure I can point them out when I'm there!

Keep up the good work with the DE-LICIOUS cakes! Yum.... :D

This is THE PLACE to order Korean Catering dishes if you are in the City. I've ordered dozens of their "Gam Poong Gyi" Chicken which is Garlic Chicken and anyone and everyone of my guests have always loved it! The meat on the chicken is actually meaty. Other places that sell this dish use chicken that are anorexic ~ literally comes with just the skin attached.

The Jhap Chae (rice noodles) and Gim Bahb (rolled rice with veggies in seaweed) are tasty too.  Also, their side dishes or pre-marinated meats (Kalbi & Bulgogi) are good too. Geez. I'm starting to get hungry now and I just had a burrito a half hour ago!

Too bad they don't have locations in the Peninsula and in the South Bay...*sigh*

I've been ordering take-out from here for years. I think it's well over 15 years, probably even more.

Of course, the food is not the same as the authentic dishes I've had in the small towns of Mexico, but it is still good.

The portions are huge and their carnitas burritos are mouth-watering. I always have to eat just half of the super-sized ones. Their soft tacos are good too and their pollo quesadillas are muy bien!

Good. Always busy and crowded, which is a good indication that the ingredients will be replenished often and therefore, fresh.  Portions are large too.

I bought some lingerie here because they were on sale and as usual, it wasn't smart. They have some cute pieces but they are all for the very petite, eh, er, uhm, in every aspect of the word, not just the height.  So, unfortunately, I think I'll have to shop elsewhere...=,(

I finally made it in yesterday for a microdermabrasion session and it was great. My skin is still glowing.

I've been to other skin care specialists that charge even more but Simone did an excellent job. I am definitely bringing my family and friends here! I didn't feel rushed or brushed off like some other places do when they start to get busy.

For my next session, I plan to try the eyelash extensions which I've never done before.  =)

The oysters here are to die for! My hubby absolutely LOVES oysters and the ones here are HUGE and tasty. They have 2 special sauces (one's a BBG) and you have to cut it in half or quarter portions to eat it on your plate. Jut thinking about them now makes my mouth water...

BTW, their sandwiches are always fresh as well.

I always try to stop here for lunch whenever I shop at the Petaluma Outlet.

We recently were referred to Minute Man for a postcard printing job and we spoke with Mike. We explained to him about our time crunch and what we needed done. He assured us that it would be done by that afternoon and it was. Perfect. Fast service, reasonable prices (considering that we needed same day service) and great quality work done.

If you need something printed really fast, call Minuteman Press.

We wanted to get our kitchen floor re-done and we talked with Steve. He was really knowledgeable and gave us first rate information that saved us a bundle. If you want PROFESSIONAL, HONEST advice and great quality carpeting/flooring, call and ask for Steve!
