Fried calamari – Barracuda Sushi

Fried calamari - Barracuda Sushi
Montery baby squid tempura with sriracha aioli. Happy hour $5
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA

These were good – perhaps a little greasy, but they had a nice flavor from the batter. And I like the taste and slight heat of the sriracha aioli.

A-OK hand signal sidewalk stencil, Guerrero Street. It always amazes me how many different stencils there are in this city!

Chicken vindaloo – Curry Boyzz

Chicken vindaloo - Curry Boyzz
Chicken cooked with potatoes in special spicy sauce. $6.99
Curry Boyzz, San Francisco CA

Mmm, saucy Indian food! I also like that they use large chicken breast chunks. Even though I love thighs, these breast pieces remain very tender in this dish.

Chinatown, Grant Avenue

Chinatown, Grant Avenue. The hustle and bustle of Chinatown is only steps away from San Francisco’s shopping and financial districts – a very cool juxtaposition.

Smoked pork loin. 7-item Tasca tasting plates $34
LaSalette Restaurant, Sonoma CA

I love cured pork, and this was really tasty! I was sad that they only give 4 slices. I could have eaten an entire plate of this!

Buena Vista Winery
Buena Vista Winery. This is the oldest premium winery in California. It’s kinda randomly located and the grounds are tiny. My friends love this place, but I wasn’t too impressed by their wines. I think they underwent a recent remodel so their building is really cute inside!
