These sopes were clunky and looked unappetizing, but they were actually pretty good! They each tasted very different so it was a nice plate of flavors to begin the meal.

Special ham sandwich – Vietnamese Cart

Special ham sandwich - Vietnamese Cart
Banh mi with ham, cold cuts, pate, carrot, daikon, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. $4.25
Vietnamese Cart, San Francisco CA

This sandwich was cheap, delicious, and pretty legit! The flavors were right on for a banh mi and the lady who own the cart is really sweet. With these sandwich, the bread is really important and the French roll that she uses is great. It has a nice crispiness on the outside with a soft, airy center. Noms!

Antipasto di burrata – Poesia

Antipasto di burrata - Poesia
Fresh burrata cheese served with crostini with ‘Nduja sausage, calabrese olives, salami. $16
Poesia, San Francisco CA

I liked this and thought that it had wonderful flavors, but I was kind of annoyed that the burrata wasn’t center stage. I thought from the menu item that it was going to be a burrata dish, but it was really a big crostini with several ingredients. I liked it, but it wasn’t what I expected.

I am embarrassed to admit that I ate this all by myself as my lunch, lol! In my defense, it was in celebration of someone’s birthday. It was pretty good. Nothing special, but the ice cream parlor has a nice vibe and the workers are really friendly.
