Q u a t s c h .: Food junkie.

I love to eat. The only parts about eating which I absolutely hate are the unwanted cellulites after and the guilt that comes with it. I am a self-proclaimed food junkie and dining is very much my number one guilty pleasure. I enjoy going out to restaurants and trying new dishes.

Here's a list of my new favorite restaurants within California. I absolutely recommend that you visit these places when you're in California.

1. Blackhawk Grille

It is located at the Blackhawk Plaza in Blackhawk City which is roughly 10 minutes away from San Ramon. This particular city is popular for having A-list residents ( celebrities, moguls, business tycoons etc.)

Tiger Shrimp White Sauce Fettuccini

2. Faz

It is located in Danville which is about 15 minutes away from San Ramon. Danville is really known for its diverse selection of cuisines and restaurants. It has dozens of streets filled with different kinds of restaurants and bars. Faz is a contemporary Persian restaurant known internationally.

Best rack of Lamb I have ever eaten.
(Paying $80 for it so worth it!)

3. Stomp!

It is also located in Blackhawk Plaza. Stomp! is known for its quirky way of serving food. They serve everything in small proportions with cute little plates. It also carries a vast selection of wine and liquor (not for me though haha).

Heavenly Mac N' Cheese

Prosciutto, Cheese & Bruschetta

4. Amber

It is also located in Danville. Amber is known for their combo sliders which I ordered ( a combo of a Crab melt, Ceasar Salad and Thai curry soup )

5. Ici

It is an ice cream store located at Berkeley. Everything they serve is organic and made in the store. Ici is famous for the wide variety of crazy yet delicious flavors they offer. The best one that I have tasted would definitely be the Mint Toffee Blood Orange.
