Starting another blog to document my love/hate relationship with food, working out and my attempts at being healthy.

Katia's Russian Tea Room

$25 per person (including tax and tip)for the afternoon tea party.  We got 4 savories and 3 desserts + unlimited house tea








Katia provides amazing service. She’s very accomodating and actually pretty entertaining.  Cute, intimate place..I recommend the cocktail piroshki (beef - the crust was super flaky and the texture really complemented the meat) and the Pel’meni.  They are like little beef raviolis served with a light curry sauce. Okay now that light curry sauce, I had to ask for extras…one of my friends even asked for the recipe (no harm in asking right? LOL). As for the desserts, although the fruit tart was a little too tarty for me, the crust itself again was amazing and the chocolate walnut meringue torte definitely made up for it. I’m stuffed and it was a very merry unbirthday to me :) (celebrated my birthday late this year because of finals!)

why did we wait to check this place out until my last week at work?

so we tried Jacks Prime Burger and Shakes for my farewell lunch and it was amazing! I had the wine country burger (caramelized onions, goat cheese etc.) and substituted it with a turkey patty and whole wheat bun....the best part is their sweet potato fries and it was so good! if you're ever in the san mateo area, check it out!http://jacksprime.com/
