I recommend The Counter. A good burger place located in Santana Row. Went there recently with some friends for lunch and personally ordered from the "Build Your own Burger" menu.



I built a turkey burger with lettuce and cucumbers and BBQ sauce. It was quite yummy! :) They have tables inside



as well as outside. Their burgers are quite juicy and are pretty good tasting! If you're looking for a good burger place, and have never tried "The Counter", I recommend it!

Trader Joe's Wild Blueberry Tarte

I recommend Trader Joe's Wild Blueberry Tarte. If you're a blueberry fan, this tart is for you! Filled with blueberries and nothing more, it's sweet tasting and the crust is just perfect. Not too dry, not too hard. I've had this many times, and each time I've had it, I've enjoyed every bite!

I believe you have to take it out and let it defrost a bit before eating it though, but I can't be positive so be sure to read the directions beforehand on the back of the box.

Trader Joe's Peach and Blueberry Panna Cotta

I recommend Trader Joe's Peach and Blueberry Panna Cotta. When I first had it, I thought it kind of tasted like Chinese 酸梅, but maybe it was just a first instinct. Personally, I think the blueberry side tastes better than the peach, but it tastes pretty good overall. Good dessert to try if you've never had it before.

Jamba Vanilla Strawberry Jubilation - Yogurt and Sorbet

I recommend Jamba's All Natural Vanilla Strawberry Jubilation Yogurt and Sorbet. Soft juicy yogurt & sorbet bars that have this sweet taste that just melt in your mouth as you take each bite.

My first time trying these bars and personally like them. I heard they have a few different flavors, but this is the only flavor I've had so far.

I recommend 薪五餅二魚 (Nutrition House). Went there for the first time for lunch today and it was not too bad. Some of the things aren't as good, but it's decent. The soybean milk is okay, but the 蛋餅's not that good.

I recommend their 冬瓜湯麵 (Winter Melon Noodles). I think that was the best out of all the things we ordered this time. If I ever go back there again, I'm definitely gonna order it.

Tong Dumpling Pot

I recommend Tong Dumpling Pot. Went there recently with some friends for lunch and thought it was pretty good. It's a small restaurant and there aren't that many tables available, but the dumplings are pretty tasty.

I recommend Marie Callender's pies. They have really good pies there. My family has been buying pies there ever since I could remember. My personal favorites from them are coconut and kahlúa cream cheese,

Others I've tried are cream cheese, custard, and pumpkin. Those aren't bad either, but they're not ones we get often.
