Stuffed jalapenos Hahn's Hibachi

Fresh jalapenos stuffed with marinated steak and tempura fried.  Garnished with parsley and served with soy based dipping sauce.  $9.95
Hahn’s Hibachi, San Francisco

Omg, I love this appetizer!  The combination of the salty beef stuffed inside the jalapeno, the hot crispy tempura outside, and the salty sour dipping sauce is absolutely delicious!  You get quite a few, which is good because $9.95 is a bit high for an appetizer at a casual place like this.  These are worth it!

Braised pork steamed bun – Chairman Bao Truck

Braised pork steamed bun Chairman Bao Truck

Chairman Bao Truck, San Francisco

I’ve almost tried all the different steamed buns available at The Chairman Bao Truck – I think I just the crispy garlic tofu to go.  The braised pork was very good.  It was super tender and I love the cabbage and mustard seed topping.  These guys sure know how to make a delicious bun!
