Singapore Vibes ✈️ . With travel curtailed for the foreseeable future, lucky to visit one of Singapore’s oldest coffee chains (since 1919) in their first US location . Killiney Kopitiam served a Singaporean combination of cuisine from Burmese, Malaysian, Chinese, Indonesian, and Thai...all cuisines that are still gaining representation in the USA 🇺🇸 . I tried a sampling of dishes that are hard to find even in the Bay Area and really enjoyed the Nasi Lemak and Yuan Ying drink (a HK café specialty) . 📷 Nasi Lemak $8.49 ~ Deep Fried Chicken Wings served with Coconut Rice, Hard Boiled Eggs, Crispy Anchovies, Roasted Peanuts, Sambal Chili ~ Laksa $13.99 ~ Traditional Killiney Spicy Coconut Broth with Thick Rice Noodles, Shrimp, Fish Cake, Bean Sprouts, Hard Boiled Eggs & Fried Tofu Puffs, garnished with sambal chili ~ Ying Yuan ~ $3.99 ~ Tea, Coffee, Condensed Milk . 📍Killiney Kolpitiam (Palo Alto, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #noodles #soup #soupweather #singaporeanfood #nasilemak #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at Killiney Kopitiam Palo Alto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHn-xZ7D52U/?igshid=296kwo5gvxv7

Soup Weather 🍲 . As a chill develops outside, it’s the perfect time of year for piping hot soups . Happy to stop by Galbi Tang favorite Kunjip Restaurant . They have limited indoor dining but also outdoor dining tables for those who aren’t quite ready for indoor yet...many people also did takeout although I think the broth is best enjoyed boiling hot in their signature bowls . They’ve also updated their menu and modernized their Galbi Jjim dishes to have cheese as an option like Daeho . 📷 Galbi Tang $17 ~ Beef Short Rib Soup with Clear Noodles, Green Onion, Dried Jujube, Sliced Egg . 📍Kunjip Restaurant (Santa Clara, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #noodles #soup #soupweather #koreanfood #hotsoup #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at Kunjip) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHeoJAUj9pc/?igshid=q7yf07vea4yf

Dipping Mood 🍝 . Crazy times but my favorite Tsukemen always puts me in a better mood . 📷 Tokusei Tsukemen $17 ~ Pork Chashu, Menma, Nori Seaweed, Jidori Soft Boiled Egg, Sous Vide Berkshire Pork Chashu and Green Onions . 📍Taishoken (San Mateo, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #meat #chashu #tsukemen #noodle #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at Taishoken San Mateo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHMR6c1jCBr/?igshid=1sqszne6kz5r8

All The Meats 🥩 . During this pandemic, I’ve been shopper near and far, but I’d be remiss to forget the local butchers . Dittmer’s Goumet Meats (and Schaub’s in Palo Alto) are long time institutional gems that have been supplying the Bay Area for as long as I can remember . Dittmer’s is well-loved for their sandwich bar and while it’s temporary closed during COVID-19, they’re still selling a fantastic assortment of meat cuts, house-made sausages, and house cured deli meats that will make any carnivore smile . 📷 Beef Cheeks $5.99/lb ~ Oxtail $10.99/lb ~ Beef Tongue $8.99/lb ~ Baby Beef Liver $4.49/lb ~ Famous House Smoked Salmon $28.99 ~ Smoked Duck $16.99/lb ~ Head Cheese $11.69/lb ~ House Canadian Bacon $11.49/lb . 📍Dittmer’s Gourmet Meats & Wurst-House (Los Altos, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #shoplocal #meat #duck #oxtail #beef #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at Dittmer's Gourmet Meat & Wurst-Haus Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJN9G5Dm50/?igshid=v20icalxak4m

Sushi 🍣 Sunday . One of the items many miss with our new reality is sushi and many, especially with more intimate spaces, are still closed for safety despite the restrictions on indoor dining . Luckily, the Bay Area has seen an explosion in creativity for bento boxes and that’s helped tide many of us over (Sushi Yoshizumi and Ranzan are faves) . For those looking for a safe outdoor dining option, Daigo in Palo Alto is doing a fantastic job . Their whole menu is available and their very limited seating (and off California Street location) feels very safe . The sushi and appetizers are all excellent...reservations recommended . 📷 Nine Piece + Fatty Tuna Hand Roll Omakase $57 ~ Nigiri Dinner $42 ~ Asari Butter Sakamushi $15 ~ Eryngi Tempura $8 . 📍Daigo (Palo Alto, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #japanesefood #sushi #omakase #fattytuna #seafood #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at Daigo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHEa5LOjMPL/?igshid=w3hgu8re2ngp

Winner Winner Chicken 🐔 Dinner . While nearby Marufuku Ramen is the latest and greatest to join the Redwood City Dining scene, we enjoyed a more secluded dinner at the excellent Kemuri Barú . The binchotan grilled chicken thigh is one of the best izakaya items I’ve ever had with an out of this world aroma and flavor . Their oxtail udon broth is umamilicious and the beef tongue is the perfect protein accompaniment . 📷 Smoked Chicken Thigh with Yuzu Pepper $20 ~ Thick Cut Beef Tongue with Scallion Sesame Sauce (Atsu-giri Negi Shio Gyutan) $20 ~ Kemuri Udon (Long simmered OxTail broth, Chasu meat, a hint of Yuzu) $12.50 ~ Tokyo Mule $12 . 📍Kemuri Japanese Barú (Redwood City, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #japanesefood #oxtail #udon #binchotangrill #grilledchicken #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at Kemuri Japanese Barú) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_cwz6D80E/?igshid=1jrgwxch02l3q

Taco 🌮 Thursday . Quesobirria tacos are a perfect antidote for the cooler weather, especially when paired with a piping hot bowl of Birria consommé or, even better, Birria ramen . Loved dipping the Quesobirria in the instant ramen broth and having the cheese melt even more from the heat . 📷 Birria Ramen ~ $8.99 ~ Quesobirria $5 . 📍La Burrita (San Jose, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #tacothursday #ramen #tacos #quesobirria #foodtruck #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at La Burrita) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8hCXKDQJu/?igshid=6l5u3agx4cg8

Saba Saba . Continue to be a fan of the takeout items from Ranzan in Redwood City (all available for preorder the day before) . While dine-in service is now available for dinner and at 25% capacity (plus they have private rooms), I’m thankful that such high quality items are available to go as well . One of the Saba was shorter than average so they included a small bonus nigiri...it was amazing! . Thank you so much and please consider making a full nigiri bento! . 📷 Yaki Saba Sushi $40 ~ Toro Saba Sushi . 📍Ranzan (Redwood City, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpsouthbay #yelpsf #yelppeninsula #eatersf #yelpeats #sushi #saba #nigiri #shelterinplace #takeout #smallbusiness #bestfoodbayarea #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodlover #foodphotography (at Ranzan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGqcrM-j9m_/?igshid=1t79uq8tr4k1m
