San Jose Food Diary 📝🍽️

Eataly Terra 🍖🦐 Ordered the meat platter and seafood platter—pretty decent, but honestly, I feel like the atmosphere here outshines the food. Perfect for catching up with friends and snapping some aesthetic pics though! 📸💬 New Tung Kee Noodle 🍜❤️ A personal favorite for Teochew-style kuay teow! I absolutely love their light, clean broth and the bouncy beef meatballs. But honestly, I rarely order anything else here—just here for the noodles! 😌 Lo Si Ding 🍲🔥 A delicious luosifen spot conveniently located near escape room venues! Only downside: there’s always a bit of a wait… patience is key here! ⏳😅 Caffe Bene ☕️📚 A coffee shop I adored growing up—still has that cozy study vibe! Really craving their bread ice cream but haven’t had the chance to try it yet… soon, hopefully! 🍦😩 Long Men Wan Hotpot 🍲✨ Yummy hotpot, no complaints here! Warm, flavorful, and satisfying. Goku Korean BBQ Hotpot (All-You-Can-Eat) 🥩🔥 Went here with friends after an improv show. The quality was okay, but it didn’t feel like “pure joy” — the dipping sauces were pretty mediocre, to be honest. Jollibee 🍗🍻 Living in SJ means I can get Jollibee delivered — count that as a win! A friend even brought beer 🍻🥰. We DIY’d some strawberry jam bread and enjoyed pumpkin mochi whenever we wanted — simple happiness! 🎃🍓 #BayAreaFood #LifeInNorthAmerica #RestaurantRecommendations 😋🌉
