Kaiseki in Saratoga, dumplings in Cupertino and bingsu in Campbell
The Bay Area knows how to do Asian food. From hot pot spots to sushi restaurants to Korean barbecue, we’ve got it all (makes me proud to be half Asian!). This week, Edwina Dueñas rounded up five new Asian eateries starting their journeys along the Peninsula. Learn about a Hong Kong restaurant in San Carlos, a fine dining kaiseki spot in Saratoga, a loaded shaved ice cafe in Campbell and more.
Meanwhile, assistant lifestyle editor Karla Kane is taking over Edible Intel this week (since I just got back from Dublin, Ireland, yesterday!). She’s taking a look at tasty options for upcoming holidays and some news about a longtime Palo Alto cafe.
Stay tasty,

Palo Alto Weekly reporter Gennady Sheyner’s favorite breakfast
My co-worker Gennady Sheyner orders a toasted sesame bagel with cucumber scallion spread from Izzy’s Brooklyn Bagels every Tuesday. He’s so ravenous for this specific bagel, I decided I would go along with him one morning and try one for myself (a big departure from my usual order of a toasted jalapeno cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese).
The thing that struck me the most about the bagel was how healthy it felt. Yes, I’m aware cream cheese is not healthy, but something about the fresh diced cucumber made it feel that way, making the cream cheese less “cream cheesy” and more tzatziki-like.
Overall, it’s very tasty, but I think I’ll stick to my decadent jalapeno cheddar.
Izzy’s Brooklyn Bagels, 477 California Ave., Palo Alto; 650-329-0700, Instagram: @izzysbrooklynbagels. Open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
