Food Festival – Hiller Aviation & Museum

I don’t know how it is for the rest of the world but here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and almost all of California, the food truck scene is blowing up.

Every Wednesday there is a Food Festival at the Hiller Aviation & Museum in San Carlos. There always are several trucks at this event that range from Asian fusion dishes (Senor Sisig, Nom Nom, Chairman Bao) to gourmet burgers (3-Sum Eats, Brass Knuckle) and lobster rolls (ShackMobile). There’s even desert on some days (Kara’s Cupcakes)!  Every week brings a different line up so if there were certain trucks that you were looking for you’d have to check on Hiller’s events page to find out.

Since the weather was nice out today, there was a crowd out in front of Hiller. It has been a while since I’ve seen so many people here at Hiller for the food fest since it has been pretty cold lately. Today the weather was real nice that you can feel the sun warming you up as you wait in line. Today it seemed that every truck had the average wait time in line with about 30 mins, not that bad.

For lunch I chose one of my favorite food trucks Senor Sisig. I had the pleasure on enjoying a chicken “Senor” Sisig burrito that was silog on top of it! Having the burrito silog means they add a fried egg inside the burrito. When I first had a “Senor” Sisig burrito, I never knew how yummy and juicy an egg can make a burrito.

Luckily for me there were no desert carts around for me to be a bigger fatty lol.

This visit to Hiller Aviation & Museum was bitter sweet since I am resigning from my current job at Element Case and moving on to Flor in San Francisco. It will be a real challenge to find some food trucks near me in the Filmore district so I’m doing my best in enjoying these last few trips to Hiller.

Perfect Morning

A Perfect Pair taken w/ HTC EVO, edited w/ Be Funky

Well almost. I missed my train to work by 2 mins. Missing my train doesn’t mean that I’ll be late to work, I’ll just be on time and not early.

The next train that I can catch is in 27 minutes. So instead of just waiting around and reading the paper I walked over to Starbucks, which is only half a block away. Over at Starbucks I grabbed a tall cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal.

A cup of Starbucks coffee and their a bowl of their Perfect Oatmeal are pair to die for. The coffee is good, I like to add two packets of brown sugar and enough half and half to almost match my skin tone. The oatmeal comes with toppings that you can add; brown sugar, mixed nuts, and mixed berries. I like to add all the toppings in my oatmeal starting with the brown sugar, then the mixed nuts, and finally adding the mixed berries last. Then I would mixed all the ingredients together and enjoy while taking a sips of coffee throughout the course.

A perfect enough morning for me 🙂

Philz for Friday

Philz Coffee
Enjoying a cup of Philz on Caltrain 🙂

Like many of you, I am ending the work week with an 8 hour day at work today. Since it is Friday I decided to treat myself to Philz Coffe.

Philz Coffers is by far the best romantic coffee experience that I ever had. For those of you that are unfortunate to not live, work, or ne able to visit the San Francisco Bay Area let me give you a quick description to what type of coffee-house.

At Philz they only serve drip coffee that is individually hand-made per order. The flavors of coffee that are offered are a fusion of 2-7 beans from around the world to create unique flavors that any coffee aficionado would love. With flavors such as Tesora, Soo Good, and Aromatic Arabic (my favorite) would temp you to try a cup of their dozens of flavors. And if your finicky about your coffee, I’m sure you would find a flavors that you would love. I have been to Philz almost 50 times and have yet to try all their flavors.

Philz Coffee is something that all should try at least once in their life.

Happy Friday all!
