Here's my birthday treat to my readers. All the frequently asked questions I get once people know that I'm a food blogger:

1. How do you get to eat so much and still not get fat... errr... I mean, remain healthy? Well, for those of you who have eaten with me, I regularly end a meal with hot water and lemon. Yes, some waitstaff have conspicuously eyed me because they simply don't understand why I ordered such or ask multiple times if I meant hot water with lemon tea. I politely say no. I would like hot water with a piece of fresh lemon, please. Additionally, I eat slow or rather I take my time to eat and not rush.

2. What are your favorite restaurants in San Francisco? I've written about it here, here for best ice cream and here for best brunch.

3. How do you keep up with all the new restaurants popping up in San Francisco or prepare for a gastronomic travel? I read the restaurant section of the local news regularly, especially the ones from premiere food critic, Michael Bauer, and SF food blogger, Marcia Gagliardi. For my international travels, I research before going and even book reservations months in advance.
