Spaghetti alla Carbonara

It’s a pleasure to break the yolk and mix it up with noodles and pancetta.

I loved this Spaghetti alla Carbonara from Gamine.

They have a straight-forward French bistro menu. All dishes for our dinner, from the mussels to the beef tartare, tasted great.

It’s a cozy food spot on the border of San Francisco’s Marina and Cow Hollow neighborhoods. With candle light, good wine and great service, it was a romantic night out with my hubby.

Our server shook our hands as we left the restaurant, wishing us a pleasant evening.

So classy!

Eat Drink 2012

It has been a good year for food, drinks and memorable meals.

In Barcelona, I had the best meal of my young life at La Sarte.

Oysters at Lasarte

Back in the States, I had to work during the holidays. My hubby and I wanted to have a fancy Christmas meal after we heard about our friends and their lavish holiday office parties.
Pan Roasted Corvina @ Cliff House
We ended up at the Cliff House after my newsroom shift on Christmas Day. The kitchen plated this beautiful pan-roasted corvina and it tasted great!

New Year's Eve Dinner
My weekend fell on New Year’s Eve. I was thrilled to spend it with our San Francisco friends. Our last meal of the year involved a Portuguese chicken dish with vegetables. Inside the apartment, we popped champagne corks at midnight. We toasted 2013 with Sparkling Albariño by Bonny Doon.
