Bloody Orange


I love going to the farmer's market.
It's always full of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables
from local farmers.
I try to go to the local one held every Saturday morning.
Since a few weeks ago, I found blood oranges,
small in size but I juiced them when I got home
to find that they are actually very sweet!!
Drink it first thing in the morning, it's super refreshing...

Hog Island Oysters


Whenever I visit San Francisco,
one of the must visit places on my list is
Hog Island Oyster Company inside the ferry building.
My personal favorite is the Kumamoto Oyster,
small in size, sweet and with a buttery texture.


Don't forget to try the clam chowder,
it's one of the best I've ever had!!

Auberge du Soleil

When in Napa and looking for a nice brunch place,
go to Auberge du Soleil.
It is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Napa,
for its ambience, breathtaking view,
and most importantly, the food.


Auberge du Soleil is located on top of the hill
and has a private view of the mountains
and the beautiful scenery of Napa Valley.


Just make sure to make a reservation on the patio
on a sunny day.
The view is just breathtaking...



Burrata Mozzarella and Roasted Zucchini Appetizer.


Sauteed Scallops sided with Grapefruit Salad.

It's been about two years since my visit there,
but definitely will go back again.
