Ame With My Big Sis

March 29, 2010

On Monday night, I skipped out on bowling for one last dinner with my sister in SF. We left the kids with Jack and his cousin's family and headed to Ame (which, shockingly, was a place I've always wanted to try). Ame is located in the St. Regis Hotel in SOMA and is the brainchild of Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani (of Terra in Napa fame).

My sister and I shared a bunch of dishes and we were not disappointed. "Taste of Ame Sashimi Bar", with Crudo, Poke, Staff meal, Uni Bruschetta and Kaisen Salad:

Napoleon of Foie Gras and BBQ Eel with Sansho Pepper Balsamico Sauce :


"Chawan Mushi" (Japanese savory custard with lobster, clams, eel, and mitsuba sauce):
Crispy suckling pig with yukon gold potato puree, forest mushrooms and wild nettle sauce:
For dessert, the chocolate hazelnut tart with caramel milk chocolate chip ice cream:


It was an awesome meal to celebrate my sister's last night in the bay area. I'll miss my big sis!

Only a Few More Days...

March 28, 2010

I went down to south bay to spend one last weekend (boo hoo!) with my sister's family before they shove off to Albany on Tuesday. We were all slumber-partying at my uncle's house in San Jose while the movers/packers cleared out their house (wahhh!).

I got there early enough to catch Charlotte still in slumber:
























I'll miss you! I love you guys!

Kate's Getting Married...Soon.

March 28, 2010

On Friday night, I joined a bunch of ladies to help celebrate Kate's impending nuptials to Ray at a bachlorette...AsiaSF-style...!














We're looking forward to Kate and Ray's wedding in two weekends...stay tuned!
