Brown rice, kimchee, daikon, cucumbers, and wasabi apple coleslaw. $9.25
HRD Coffee Shop, San Francisco CA
This was great! It tasted great and had so many different flavors and textures. The pork was tender and I really liked the wasabi apple slaw. I wish this place was closer to my office so I could go more often. 🙂
Fried quail with garlic, served with hot sauce. $10.95
Lers Ros Thai, San Francisco CA
This was lame! The quail was dry and hard and the sharp, brittle bones were really difficult to eat around. I don’t know how in the world this dish would ever make a “Must Eat” list! 7×7 was completely wrong with this one!

Cream cheese icing, buttermilk ice cream, walnuts, fennel. $10
Farallon, San Francisco CA
This was probably the most moist carrot cake I’ve ever had, and that’s a good thing! I will say that with the cream cheese icing and the buttermilk ice cream, it got really heavy after a few bites. I think they could have kept this simpler and it would have been better.

Fresh stir fried rice noodles with original homemade pad thai sauce, tofu, egg, bean sprouts, green onion, and cilantro. $8

This was tasty enough, but I wish that there was more pad thai sauce. The noodles were pretty bare, and you know how I like saucy things, hehe.

Spanish chorizo, grilled onions and peppers, chipotle aioli. Served house plantain chips. $11.50
Paladar Cafe Cubano, San Francisco CA
This tasted ok, but it was really dry especially when combined with the hard plantain chips. I liked the flavors, but not the execution.

SO much gooey cheese and buttery bread! I really liked this grilled cheese sandwich. It was delicious and with the side salad, it made for a substantial snack.
Classic Manhattan. Happy hour $6
$6
FIVE, Berkeley CA
These were light and fluffy but a little bit greasy, so I was torn. There was certainly enough of them though.
$10.95
New Ming’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love me some chicken wings! And these were pretty good. I loved the sticky sauce and the wings were on the larger side, but you could definitely tell that they were frozen and not very fresh.
Breaded deep-fried pork cutlet over rice. Spicy curry with sausage topping. $8.75
JapaCurry, San Francisco CA

This larb wasn’t memorable. It tasted fine, but I was expecting more since this place is pretty popular.
