"The silver lining of driving a car with low mileage is frequent excuses to stop by that one Exxon gas station on Hillside Blvd. in Daly City. Inside the convenience store is this family-run takeout counter with a phenomenal lineup of Filipino staples like dinakdakan and lechon kawali so crunchy it could set off car alarms. Never leave without getting an overflowing cup of the made-to-order Dubai chocolate strawberries." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
