I liked this dessert because it tasted great, but it was really difficult to eat. The cookies were a bit too hard to break through so the chocolate mousse just kept oozing out every time you tried to cut into it. Hmm…

West coast oysters – Anchor & Hope

West coast oysters - Anchor & Hope
Lil’ Skookum WA, Fanny Bay BC, and Kumamoto WA. $17.50
Anchor & Hope, San Francisco CA

I met some co-workers out for happy hour at Anchor and Hope one day. The bar area was packed during that time of day, omg! I tried a few things, but by the time David arrived happy hour was over and we still wanted more oysters. We ordered a sampling of west coast oysters because we prefer the smaller sized variety from that area. I remember that they tasted pretty good, but they weren’t properly cleaned and there were a few shell shards in the half shell. Lame.
