Din Tai Fung
We ate here last time we were here with my parents in January and wanted to come back again, this time with Trisha (Ginny was meeting up with her friends and doesn’t like dim sum anyway). We started with a couple of the salads – Seaweed & Beancurd Salad and the Cucumber Salad. I like…

Dumpling Kitchen – Noe Valley
We hadn’t got grocery shopping, so we decided to eat out for lunch. We hadn’t been to Dumpling Kitchen in awhile. We ordered the Pea Sprouts w/ Garlic (one of Andrea’s favorites), Steamed Soup Pork Dumplings (i.e. XLB. I suppose they “Americanized” their menu a bit), BBQ Beef Ribs (to try something different) and the…

Mamahuhu
We were just looking for something low key for dinner. I’ve seen them advertise this double caviar fish sandwich on the sandwich board on the sidewalk when we’ve walked by the restaurant as we’re doing errands in the neighborhood. I haven’t eaten here in at least a couple/few years, although Andrea occasionally orders takeaway from…

Yank Sing
This Saturday, I wanted to go on a longer run. I started off in Golden Gate Park and decided to take the Coastal Trail starting in Land’s End and head towards the bridge, then along Crissy Field, along the Embarcadero, and ultimately the Ferry Building – almost 16 miles in total (I took a small…

Hakkasan
We last ate at a Hakkasan in San Francisco when my parents were visiting. I remember it being elevated Chinese food and I remember the prime location it had and the interior, but I don’t really remember too much more than that. That location closed, but i did know there were many other Hakkasans still…

Din Tai Fung
We missed eating out here last year, so I was looking forward to finally eating here. It’s all about the dumplings here so we were going to definitely try a lot of those. We had ordered cucumber salad, hot & sour soup, shrimp fried rice, green beans and bunch of dumplings of course! The first…

Dumpling Home
When we went to Nightbird a few weeks ago, we passed by Dumpling Home on our way. This was also on our list of places to try, but we hadn’t prioritized it since since you can’t make reservations (line up and put your name on the yelp list once open). Andrea had been thinking about…

Panda Inn
This was our meal the evening before we were going to fly out of Ontario (California, not Canada) so we wanted someplace close to the hotel (which was close to the airport). I know my parents are always game for Chinese food. Plus this was recommended by our good friend and fellow foodie Trisha A.…

Four Kings
We’re back here at Four Kings after having just dined here for the first time a fortnight ago. We showed up right at 6pm when they opened. There was a line of less than 10 people waiting in the walk-in line and we were the only ones in the reservations line with several tables already…

Morimoto Asia
Our final dinner in Napa. Kristine wanted to find something for the entire group that was reasonably nice and was going to be palatable to the entire group, so she picked Morimoto Asia (not to be confused with Morimoto). For drinks, I started with the flight of Morimoto sake which included a ginjo, and junmai,…
