Golden Flower Vietnamese Restaurant

667 Jackson Street

San Francisco, CA 94133

Occasion: Friday night dinner. 5.28.10

Beef Carpaccio
 My favorite place to get them! I love how they load it with tons of cilantro and crushed peanuts. I've had beef carpaccio at French and Italian restaurants, but they just don't compare to the nuc mam sauce used. I love how there's a sweet yet tangy taste to it. So delicious!

Five Spice Chicken Rice Plate
Not my usual, but that night...I felt like it. It came with a drumstick, imperial roll and rice. It was tasty and very filling and just what I wanted that night!

AT&T Park

24 Willie Mays Plaza

San Francisco, CA 94107

Occasion: May 25th. Giant's vs Washington Nationals. Giants win 4-2.

Nachos

You just have to get stadium food whenever you go to any game. This was some kind of pulled pork nacho. I like that the nacho wasn't that generic bright yellow cheese. This picture definitely does not do the nachos justice, but it was humongous.

La Boulange Cafe and Bakery

1909 Union Street

San Francisco, CA 94123

Occasion: Catch up lunch with Ella!

Goat Cheese Open Faced Sandwich with Mixed Green Salad
AMAZING! My favorite thing to get there! I love that the bread is drenched in what seems to be some kind of pesto-like balsamic vinegar sauce and the fact that it's topped with mushrooms, bell peppers and best of all...GOAT CHEESE! YUM!!! It comes with a side of salad, which makes me feel a little healthier. I love it and would recommend for anyone to give it a try...especially if they love all the ingredients!

Chloe's Cafe

1399 Church Street

San Francisco, CA 94114

Occasion: Sunday Brunch, sometime in May!

Croissant French Toast
Their croissant french toast with fresh strawberries is as good as it is hyped to be! The buttery-ness of the croissant combined with fresh strawberries that were sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar was very memorable. It made me want to say "OMG". LOL!

Banana Walnut Pancakes
I was only allowed to order one because he knew I wouldn't be able to finish anything more than that. Good call. I loved biting into the walnuts, but I thought the chunks of bananas were too big. It was good, but not as good as Ella's fluffy pancakes. MMmMMmm!

Some kind of scramble (It's been so long I have already forgotten)
It came with potato fingerlings and an english muffin with their house made strawberry jam, which was very good. It wasn't too sweet nor too thick; it was just the way I liked it to be. After my major sweet consumption of french toast and pancakes. It was good to have something savory. I remember it being good and I had no complaints. Everything we had was very good and I'm so glad I discovered this little hole in the wall place!

Asquew Grill

3348 Steiner Street

San Francisco, CA 94123

Occasion: Dinner with Ella!

Skewers
She chose a salmon skewer with veggies and I chose some kind of ahi tuna. It was just what I wanted for dinner that night; something more on the healthy side! Not too greasy or too filling! It might not look like a lot of food. But it filled our stomachs!

Corn on the cob
Love corn on the cob! How can you possibly go wrong?
