Oaxacan Flavors on Calle 24
Check out Donaji for some Oaxaca flavors. The restaurant’s approach to Mexican food—with a nod to vegetarian and pescatarian options—offered a refreshing variety. The space itself mirrored the food: bright and inviting. Lots of colors in the space. These are tostadas topped with scrambled eggs, avocado slices, red onion. The quesadilla was a savory hit,…
Tsukemen at Taishoken
After trying various ramen attempts in Mexico City, we found ourselves craving the authentic taste we remembered. Tsukemen, also known as dipping ramen, consists of two separate bowls: one with thick, chewy noodles, and the other with a rich, concentrated broth. The magic happens when you dip the noodles into the broth, allowing you to…
Cute robotic building
Right next to Cherin’s Appliance stands out with its eye-catching facade painted to resemble a giant robot head: It’s not a Diego Rivera but it fits the character of the city!
Someone didn’t like the bike lanes
It looks like the SF Small Business Coalition is against having the Valencia bike lanes. Personally I really like that it’s there and I could get used to having it in the center actually. Here’s the general views of the San Francisco Small Business Coalition (SFSBC). They are rallying against the Valencia Quick Build Project…
Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco
Back at home, we decided to visit Dandelion Chocolate in the vibrant Mission District. The artisanal chocolate factory’s along Valencia Street. Dandelion Chocolate was founded by Todd Masonis and Cameron Ring in 2010. These two chocolate enthusiasts embarked on a mission to bring high-quality, bean-to-bar chocolate to San Francisco. Walking into Dandelion Chocolate on Valencia…

Taqueria Vallarta reopening
Taqueria Vallarta, a cherished local eatery in the heart of our community, has recently reopened its doors in the Mission after a lengthy closure of over six months. The closure was linked to health department concerns, prompting the owners to undertake extensive cleaning. Patrons of Vallarta have long praised the authenticity of its offerings, likening…
Views from Bernal Heights and Dolores Heights
Dolores Heights offers a somewhat more urban view, framed by quintessential San Francisco homes. From this vantage point, Salesforce Tower not only dominates the skyline but also becomes part of the neighborhood’s own unique aesthetic. Perched atop a hill, Bernal Heights Park is a local favorite for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle…

Found a new graphic novel shop
Silver Sprocket is at 1018 Valencia St. This might be a pop up. I haven’t noticed this around before!
Chesa Boudin at KQED
We went to KQED today to hear more about Chesa Boudin: Love the space they have and it’s cool to see the DA in person and listening to the interview. Of course there’s a demonstration outside: The evening left us pondering deep questions about justice, governance, and the media’s role in shaping public perception.

Matcha at Stonemill
Stonemill Matcha enjoys a location close to Mission 16 St BART station. If you’re looking for tea and some cheesecake they do not disappoint. Prices are on the higher side. Their indoor dining is pretty nice with a short 15 minute wait on a Sunday afternoon.
Happy Día de Muertos
“Día de Muertos” or “Day of the Dead” is a time-honored celebration, rich in tradition and cultural significance. While some may hesitate to pair the word “Happy” with this observance, the essence of Día de Muertos is indeed a joyful and respectful remembrance of loved ones who have passed away. I’m influenced partly by movies…
Frida Kahlo and tax
Love the beautiful art work of Frida Kahlo right outside City Tax which I assume are tax accountants.
Brazilian food at Cafe Valencia
Today, we ventured out for brunch at Cafe Valencia, nestled in San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District. The place not only serves delicious food but also doubles as an adorable grocery store. One must-try is the Coxinha, a classic Brazilian treat filled with chicken and cream cheese. It’s irresistibly good and a true staple of Brazilian…

Car used in Sept 19 Mission sideshow jailed
Sideshows have been a headache in Mission District. I’m glad the San Francisco Police Department is stepping up their game in deterring sideshows. San Francisco police step up sideshow crackdown. The police towed away the car of a Pittsburg man after it was seen doing stunts. The police towed away the car of a Pittsburg…
