Chicken tikka brown rice bowl - Tava Indian Kitchen
All natural hormone-free chicken marinated in tandoori spices, light tomato cream sauce simmered with Indian spices. $7.50
Tava Indian Kitchen, San Francisco CA

This place is like an Indian version of Chipotle. You choose you toppings and build your bowl, salad, or burroti. Anyway, I didn’t like it. It was mostly rice and not enough of anything else. Their scoops for the meat are tiny so there’s practically no chicken in there. You do get to choose as many sauces you want, but who cares if there’s no meat to eat it with. I need more meat!

Mmm, these were really good! The wrapper was thin and delicate and the soup and pork filling were delicious. There were probably some of the better XLB I’ve had in a while!

Halibut and fava bean - Le Pigeon
Fava bean puree, ancho chile puree, summer squash and porcini salad, porcini mushroom puree.
Le Pigeon, Portland OR

I generally don’t get excited over fish dishes, but this was delicious and refreshing. The halibut was cooked perfectly – still tender and flavorful. The other ingredient and sauces were amazing with the fillet. Omg, I loved the ancho chile puree especially. Noms!

Fresh cod and chips – Horner’s Corner

Fresh cod and chips - Horner's Corner
Locally caught rock cod in house beer batter, thick cut Kennebac fries and red cabbage slaw, aioli. $15
Horner’s Corner, San Francisco CA

Ugh, these fried fish were REALLY greasy, yuck! And they seemed over fried too. I think the oil temperature must have been off. The fries were ok, but I was expected them to be thicker cut as indicated by the menu description. They seem “normal” cut to me. Am I wrong? This was definitely not worth the price.

Bulleit bourbon Manhattan on the rocks. $10
I love single large ice cubes!

Pretzels, hot dog, beer. Complimentary
Genentech Concert, San Francisco CA

I was finally invited to attend the Genentech concert this year, yay! It’s great because they buy out AT&T park and all the food and drinks are free. We sat out on the field and watched Colbie Callait, Foo Fighters, and Usher! I got kinda drunk, but had a great time. I also won stuffed animals playing carnival games. 🙂

Portland cream - Voodoo Doughnut
This place sucked and so did their donuts! Our service guy was a little bitch and didn’t like getting questions regarding the donuts. That’s your job and I don’t think that 2 questions about what the donuts are called is excessive. I took a couple bites of each donut and threw the rest away. These lame donuts weren’t worth the calories!
