Your favorite tea?

I have really been into tea for the past 1-2 years now, enough to start my own tea business with one of my friends, Stiff.

One of my favorite teas lately has been the Tung Ting oolong, a green oolong from Taiwan. Great flavors, sweetness on the tongue that lasts for seconds, sometimes minutes after you swallow it. Yummy!

MocMoc and Lunch

Well, it was my birthday recently and my friend MocMoc took me out to lunch at this local dinner called Dottie's True Blue Cafe. It's in the Tenderloin district, so not the nicest neighborhood but well worth the risk. When MocMoc and I got there we noticed that most people in line were tourist. First thing that we thought, "Geez, a touristy spot that's all reputation and no substance."

Well, to our surprise the meal was delicious. I would say the best offerings are the homemade baked-goods. We had a mango streusel and a pumpkin caramel bread. Both were decadent, moist and yummy. There were so many other special baked-goods we wanted to try. Everything sounded good. The regular breakfast stuff was fairly good too but I think we filled up too early on the baked-goods to appreciate it. Recommended if you don't mind the wait and the neighborhood.

On the way home, I had to show my friend that there truly are buffalos in San Francisco (yes really buffalos that move!)

Oh, boy, I am full. Time for a nice afternoon nap!

So, MocMoc, how's that for my REAL first post?
