#Staycation Bay Area style! The great thing about #Staycation Bay Area style!

The great thing about the Bay Area is you literally will never run out of cool things to discover.

To my surprise, I had never been to the Japantown in San Jose, the third in California, along with San Francisco and Los Angeles. 

It's just a couple of blocks long and packed with all kinds of adorable Japanese-themed gift shops, the  wonderful @manusushi , @royscoffee (which is a must-visit if you love converted gas stations and also vintage Coca-Cola in bottles), and a new French bakery that was mobbed.

My suggestion is to organize a bucket list day where you go to Japantown in San Jose for lunch and Japantown in San Francisco for dinner!

Enjoy! And please comment if we missed anything that we must check out on our next visit.

I spontaneously made one of my favorite sweet snac I spontaneously made one of my favorite sweet snacks: chocolate almond bar with flaked sea salt

As a lazy cook, chocolate maker and baker I'm always looking for shortcuts. Enjoy my 5-minute chocolate bark tutorial. Make it with any inclusions you like. (Brown Rice Krispies?!)

Instead of using Bay Area-made @guittardchocolate wafers, which I love, I experimented with 46% cocoa oat milk chocolate #berkeleymade by @tchochocolate 

Yummmm. It is a delicious dark milk chocolate that melted exactly like dairy milk chocolate. The perfect vegan sweet snack!

I have some more of the vegan chocolate and if you are in the Berkeley or Oakland area and want to try, please shoot me a message.
