English trifle – House of Prime Rib

English trifle - House of Prime Rib
Grand Marnier creme anglaise. $9
House of Prime Rib, San Francisco CA

This trifle was simple, light, and perfect after a large prime rib dinner! Although the House of Prime Rib is super touristy, it’s one of San Francisco’s oldest restaurants and is a mainstay. The prime rib is also delicious and the service is great. The host was a bit of a jerk, but I guess it’s easy to develop an attitude when having to deal with so many tourists during a shift.

Bun bo hue - Pho Express
Hue style spicy noodle soup with beef. $7.95
Pho Express, San Francisco CA

This soup was very tasty and nice and spicy. Oftentimes, restaurants will shy away from being too spicy but this had a decent level of heat. I was surprised by the spaghetti noodles though. I guess I’ve never seen that before with these soups, and I’m just used to rice noodles.
