Dandy’s Best Eats 2020

There have been a lot of ups and downs this 2020. As your typical Capricorn, I was about to go crazy with plans being cancelled last minute. Most things I planned for this year didn’t happen.

85C Bakery

More than just hype, this place is amazing! I remember random trips to Orange County and seeing a huge line for this place. I never got to try it because I didn’t feel like waiting that long for some pastries. 85C Bakery is now more accessible and now has 17 locations in Southern California and…

Hot n Sour Soup- PF Chang’s

There’s a bunch of great food at PF Chang’s. They have gluten free and vegetarian options which is a plus, but the one I’d like to talk about specifically is their hot n sour soup. Random, right? I was at the one in Emeryville in the Bay Area when the waiter specifically suggested this soup…
