Chocolate budino Reform Club

Served with a savory biscotti-like cookie, caramel sauce, and ice cream(?).  $40 for 4-course dinner.
Reform Club @ Specchio, San Francisco

This dessert didn’t do much for me.  In fact, I hardly remember eating it as evidenced by me not knowing if that was ice cream or not, lol!  I do remember that the caramelly sauce underneath was good and that the budino had a sparkly reflection to it.  They must have dusted it with something.  This budino was definitely more on the cake side rather than in the pudding/souffle realm.  A bit disappointing…

Tofu skin rolls Ton Kiang

Steamed bean curd skins stuffed with what tasted like a meat and shrimp mixture, in a brown sauce and topped with chopped green onions.
Ton Kiang, San Francisco

This was one of the few successes during my visit to ton Kiang.  It was very tasty and the 3 pieces were decently sized.  I’m not sure what the oily brown sauce was, but it had a nice mild flavor.  I loved the texture of the soft, filmy tofu skin surrounding the dense meat filling.  I don’t know if these skins were store bought, but I would love to see how they are made by hand.  It looks pretty cool from what I’ve seen online!
