Broccoli beef cheek - Mission Chinese Food
Whole beef cheeks with gai lan (Chinese broccoli), poached oyster, smoked oyster sauce, sesame seeds, served with steamed rice. $13
Mission Chinese Food, San Francisco CA

I really enjoy the taste and texture of Chinese broccoli – it’s delicious! There’s a slight bitterness to this dish that I like. It’s not for anyone on a diet though. The whole beef cheeks are super fatty and, therefore, tender and yummy. The poached oysters and smoked oyster sauce add even more textures and flavors to this plate. Noms!

There’s something magical about a fresh, warm piece of naan bread. The ones at Pakwan are light and fluffy and utterly delicious!

Ivy covered house, 17th Street

Ivy covered house, 17th Street. Ok, I get that some home owners like that old, natural look but this is a bit ridiculous. You can’t tell from the picture, but the only other portions of the house that are visible are parts of the upper windows. I would feel creeped out living in a completely plant-covered home.

I am truly honored to receive her shipment with an important message for cancer awareness. Thanks, Mitzi!

Here’s what she mailed to me:

I’ve actually never tried these, but I’ve heard AMAZIng reviews on them. Can’t wait!

Foodie Penpals: September 2012
This special edition of Food Should Taste Good chips help spread the word about cancer awareness and supports a company dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. I’ve had these before and they’re SO tasty and better for you than regular chips.
