I made an Asian-style ahi tuna salad. I was going to make a Niçoise salad but decided to make it more Asian fusion-y with a soy-cilantro vinaigrette.

Ice cream on a hot day!

Really dry...

The fried oysters are really good here!

Pelmeni is from Eliseevski's in the Richmond and the seafood is from Harvest Urban Market.

I made a Cuban-style michelada (salt & cayenne rim with lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, Maggi sauce, and a generous amount of ice in the cup) to drink while watching the game.

Good pupusa. But the plate was just okay. I still prefer Balompie over this.

My usual spot for HK food in the city.

I came back for more... kinda addicted now.

Needed a burrito and beer to watch Game 4. Warriors didn't win unfortunately but we are 3-1 so I'm not worried.

Craving for fresh rice noodles satisfied!

Okay, I blame Anthony for dessert #3...

Hung out with a friend and ended up with dessert #2 today

My friend Anthony is right: this is the best pho in the city. Sweet, balanced broth. Generous portions of good quality meat. Recommend!

Beard Papa has toppings on their puffs now? I had to try it. It tastes like strawberry Pocky!

Catching up with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Eating salad to detox from the BBQ and fried chicken yesterday.

Really loved the catfish: it was thick and moist with a whisper thin crust. Perfectly cooked, and not at all greasy. Good fried chicken too! The yams were too sweet for me and the collard greens were more crisp and less traditional tasting.

Best BBQ in the city! I've lived here all my life but it was a Southerner who introduced me to this place. I got the spicy BBQ sauce which had a nice kick to it. The meats were all smoky and tender. And the collard greens tasted like someone's grandma had made them.

Back for more! I'm a noodle soup addict.

Cute little seafood place. Cioppino was excellent. The chocolate dessert was much better than the creme brûlée.

One of my favorite ice cream places in the Bay Area. The sorbet is light and frothy (I suspect it has whipped egg whites) and the Psychedelic City is a combo of three flavors (like an updated Neapolitan).

Best bbh in the city. Has blood chunks and pork hock, of course.

The flavors were very pristine, and the cost was quite reasonable considering the quality. Highly recommend. (Part 2 of 2)

Birthday sushi dinner! (a week after my bday bc reservations on Sat night are tough) I've been eyeing this place since before they got their Michelin star. Lived up to the hype! (Part 1 of 2)

My foodie dad really wanted to go to Nopa. We had to have the pork chop, which is their signature dish. The portion was gigantic, perfect for a meat eater. My personal favorites were the butter beans (I could eat a whole dish as an entree), the tartare (I love raw beef), and the duck breast. For a "fancy" place, the portions are really generous here. You won't go home hungry.
