Eat in Oakland: Noodle Theory
Grilled Salmon Ramen in a miso broth
After hearing good things about Noodle Theory for the past few years, I finally visited this Asian fusion restaurant last week. Located on Claremont at College in Rockridge, Noodle Theory serves a variety of noodle soups and dishes with influences spanning East and Southeast Asia.
It's important to note that their menu is rather impressive. Each dish includes so many ingredients and flavors, many of which I've never experienced together, that it can be hard to select just the right one. This time around, I ordered the Grilled Salmon Ramen in a miso broth. This was one of the safer bets. They added a fresh piece of perfectly grilled salmon, ramen noodles, and bok choy to a traditional miso broth. It left me with a very clean palate. It was much lighter than the miso-based ramen I've had before.
Next time, I'll pick a more adventurous option like the Grilled Niman Ranch Spicy Pork Loin Ramen in a peanut lime cilantro broth. If you've visited Noodle Theory, what did you try?

Eat in Berkeley: Kaze Ramen
Kaze Black Garlic Oil Ramen with chashu, egg, green onion, black fungus, bean sprout, and dried seaweed
After passing by Kaze Ramen the past few months, I finally visited a couple weeks ago. Located on Shattuck at University, this new ramen spot serves a variety of ramen and sushi in Berkeley's Downtown.
I ordered the Kaze Black Garlic Oil Ramen, which came with all the traditional ingredients like chashu barbecued pork, an egg, green onion, and more. Overall, it was a solid bowl of ramen. The pork was very tender. The broth had a great taste that was accentuated by the garlic oil, making it a garlic lover's dream. It was also pretty filling and only cost about $10.
I would definitely return to Kaze Ramen the next time I'm craving a warm bowl of noodles. If you've given Kaze Ramen a try, what would you recommend?

Eat in San Francisco: Eatwell Farm's Ice Box
Goat Cheese Soft Serve
I visited Eatwell Farm's Ice Box for the first time this past weekend. Located inside the Second Act marketplace on Haight, they sell four flavors of delicious soft serve ice cream a day. Although I'm not a fan of soft serve in the slightest, I may become one after trying Ice Box's.
After sampling the Goat Cheese flavor, I knew I was smitten. It had the rich, authentic taste of goat cheese, but it wasn't overpowering. It had more character than the typical soft serve I'm used to and the subtle, though dynamic flavors I love. I enjoyed the ice cream in one of their handmade butter cones, which I also highly recommend. Although this soft serve came to six bucks a pop, it was totally worth it. This is one of those ice cream experiences that others try to live up to. It was that good.
The next time I visit, I'll try the Stoneground Chocolate or the Spiced Pumpkin.

Eat in San Francisco: Burma Bear
Lemon Pepper Salmon with Coconut Rice
I first heard about Burma Bear from Amanda, an old co-worker of mine and the powerhouse behind Disqus' Talk Shop fashion and beauty channel. She used to help out at Burma Bear when it was a pop-up and a mainstay at various food festivals across the Bay Area. This Burmese barbecue place recently opened a permanent location inside the Second Act marketplace on Haight between Cole and Shrader.
When I visited this past weekend, I ordered the Lemon Pepper Salmon with coconut rice. The salmon was fresh, moist, and perfectly seasoned. When combined with the delicious rice and pickled vegetables, the dish was simply a piece of heaven. At about ten bucks a pop, it was also quite a deal.
The next time I stop by I'll have to give their famous Baby Back Ribs or the Kale Tea Leaf Salad a try.

Coffee in San Francisco: Ritual Coffee Roasters
Cappuccino
I visited Ritual Coffee Roasters' newly renovated Mission location a few weeks ago. Situated on Valencia near 21st, this hip coffee shop has been on my list of places to try for a while.
I ordered my signature drink, a cappuccino, which was very good. Like most other cappuccinos I've had in the city and in LA, it had the bold flavor I love and was prepared perfectly.
I will definitely make a trip to Ritual Coffee Roasters the next time I'm craving caffeine in the Mission.
