Le Critique: Mirror, Mirror: Sibu Beauty
New Year, new channel! We are launching Mirror, Mirror as a new channel for our Le Critique series to showcase our reviews on beauty vanity products. We are not particularly experts in these, but we’ll try our best. Like many other unfortunate souls, I suffered from horrible acne breakout in my teenage years. I tried [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: The Melt
The Melt New Montgomery 115 New Montgomery Street San Francisco, CA 94105 Grilled cheese. American classic. So utterly simple. Get someone like Jonathan Kaplan, founder of the Flip camera, to complicate it and make it simple all over again. This guy made several hundreds of millions of dollars when he sold Flip to Cisco. The [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Bouchon in Napa Valley
Bouchon 6534 Washington Street Yountville, California 94599 707.944.8037 Recently, I posted about a visit to Yountville, where I raved about the land of Thomas Keller, in a quaint town in Napa Valley reminiscent of Europe. It could have easily been one of my French, Spanish or Greek holidays taken or to be taken. Travel is [...]
Le Critique: Grey’s Anatomy Music Event
The much anticipated Grey’s Anatomy Music Event came and went. Much like everyone else, I was of course skeptic, but not as much as everyone else actually. It’s because I’ve always known that Sara Ramirez is a respectable singer (hello, Tony Award winner?!), and that Chandra Wilson also has a musical background. I’ve thought several [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Centrale Kitchen & Bar
Centrale Kitchen & Bar 1825 Pacific Avenue, Stockton, CA (209) 939-1825 With the limited choices in the area, Centrale Kitchen & Bar (also turns up as Centrale Restaurant & Lounge in Internet searches) has quickly become my go-to place for a good dining experience. The food, the ambience, the service and the crowd are just the [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Angèle Restaurant & Bar
Angèle Restaurant & Bar 540 Main St Napa, CA 94559-3353 (707) 252-8115 In truth, I am easy to please when it comes to food. But you know what, this meal we had at Angèle has been one of the best meals of my life. It was the most perfect thing because every dish, basically, everything [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Universal Café
Universal Cafe 2814 19th Street San Francisco, CA 94110 Tel: 415.821.4608 For an early 1st church wedding anniversary celebration, Chef spent the night in San Francisco courtesy of his sister and brother-in-law, who was also one of our principal sponsors. Sometimes, it seems that Chef and I have been together forever that things like this, [...]
Wanderlust: New Year’s Eve in Rome
Up until 6 years ago, I welcomed the New Year in the Philippines. It was loud and chaotic, with people throwing firecrackers. In larger places that can afford P5,000 a pop, there are fireworks displays. The idea is to make noise. And plenty of it. The next day, there would be a number of people [...]
Mommy Adventures + Le Critique + IMHO: Another Kind of Program, A Different Kind of Christmas Spirit
On December 15th, Um, Mommy and I experienced a different kind of Christmas Holiday Program presented by our children’s school. I have got to say, I was somewhat culture-shocked. The program was divided into three parts. There was a play performed by the students from Kindergarten to fourth grade, some sort of “piano recital” and [...]
Le Critique: Homemaker’s Toys: Samsung 3D LED TV 8000
I don’t know if a TV is really a homemaker’s toy as it does not help me make my home. But, I’m a homemaker, and this is Chef’s and my new toy. In truth I would say we’ve earned this TV. We’ve been living together for 4 years and since we moved in, we’ve always [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: La Note Restaurant Provençal
La Note Restaurant Provençal 2377 Shattuck Avenue Berkeley, CA 94704 Last Saturday, my French class went on a field trip to know the French culture in our local community. For our semi French culture immersion, our itinerary included lunch at a French restaurant and a visit to the post-impressionist exhibition at the de Young museum. [...]
