Bay Area Food | Try a plate of 🇯🇵🇮🇹 Mentaiko Pasta

🍝La Casa Mia 📍3548 Homestead Rd, Santa Clara, CA 95051 ▫️A combination of Japanese and Italian cuisine, it's a bit unusual! The atmosphere of the small restaurant is very vibrant and clean. When I saw recommendations, I decided to give it a try. The menu is not extensive, mainly focusing on pasta and pizza. ❤️Mentaiko Cream Tagaliatelle This combination is truly amazing! The fusion is done very well, it's not overwhelmed by the Italian cheese, overall refreshing. The Mentaiko adds a seafood flavor, and the pasta is cooked al dente. ❤️Garlic Shrimp Pizza Surprisingly delicious, it's a thin-crust pizza baked perfectly, not too crispy nor too soft, just right. The garlic flavor is strong, with a slight hint of spiciness, I really liked the thickness of it! Highly recommended. ❤️Seafood Pescatore - Bianco Lastly, we also ordered a seafood stew, it was a bit disappointing. Although the taste was average, the seafood was not very fresh, and it was a bit too salty, even when paired with bread, it was still a bit heavy. ▫️I recommend sitting outdoors when the weather is nice, it has a great atmosphere. It's a restaurant with a touch of elegance, definitely worth a visit if you live nearby, but not necessary to travel a long way just for this place. #BayAreaFood #GlobalFoodies #FoodDiary #MyFoodJournal #Foodie #FoodRecommendation #FoodSharing #Pasta #Pizza #ItalianPasta #JapaneseCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant #HiddenGemSharing #UniqueRestaurantRecommendation #HiddenGemRestaurant #BayAreaHiddenGem

Bay Area Food | A festive Chinese New Year celebration 🧧 Let's eat Peking duck together

🦆 YH Beijing 颐和北京 📍 500 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117 ▫️ We made a dinner gathering with friends on the first day of the Lunar New Year and chose this American-style Chinese restaurant mainly for the Peking duck! It's necessary to make a reservation for the duck in advance, and they usually serve it three ways: roasted duck, duck bone soup, and minced duck lettuce wraps. The portion size is quite good! ▫️ Since our dining companions are from different countries, we opted for a fusion restaurant where the Peking duck is especially good! The other dishes have more of an American-Chinese taste, like this spicy tofu 🤣 it almost seems like a joke; the walnut shrimp is also very good! The shrimp is super large! The other dishes are not bad, just don't judge them based on authentic Chinese standards. ▫️ Their various kinds of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are pretty good. We ordered the crab meat, spicy, and black truffle ones, and they tasted decent! Nothing outstanding, but still tasty. The spicy one is only slightly spicy, so even those who can't handle spice can safely enjoy it; the black truffle flavor is very faint; the crab meat one was my favorite. If you're a small group, they have a platter with different flavors that you can order. ▫️ Finally, it's the Year of the Rabbit! We also ordered steamed buns in the shape of rabbits. These bunny buns are really chubby 🤣🤣🤣 chubby bunnies 🐰 Wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Rabbit! 🧧 🧧 The restaurant's Chinese New Year ambiance is truly amazing! Various hanging decorations, small ornaments, and you instantly feel like you're in the Lunar New Year! Such a festive atmosphere, love it! The restaurant was packed that night, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. #GlobalFoodieTeam #FoodDiaries #PekingDuck #MyFoodJournal #Tonight'sDinner #DateNightRestaurant #HiddenGemRestaurant #WeekendFoodAdventure #MyFoodSecrets #BayAreaFood #BayAreaLiving #ChineseNewYear #OverseasLiving
