The #1 Italian combo - Lucca Delicatessen
Salame, ham, mortadella, provolone, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, mild Italian peppers on Acme rosemary roll. $9.99
Lucca Delicatessen, San Francisco CA

This sandwich was delicious! The quality of the deli meats was great and everything tasted great together. I had to wait to eat the sandwich so the roll was a bit soggy by the time I got down to business, but I didn’t mind. It actually made it easier to bite through, hehe. I also requested extra peppers because I’m a pig, hehe.

Croque madame – Cafe de la Presse

Croque madame - Cafe de la Presse
French grilled ham and cheese sandwich with egg “over easy” on top, side salad. $14
Cafe de la Presse, San Francisco CA

This was pretty damn tasty! It probably wasn’t the best choice to have with the onion soup since I’m trying not to gain 100 pounds, hehe. I really enjoyed it though. It was rich and flavorful and I appreciated the nicely dressed salad to help cut some of the richness of the croque madame.

Assorted dim sum – Good Mong Kok Bakery

Assorted dim sum - Good Mong Kok Bakery
Shrimp dumpling, chive and shrimp dumpling, beef crepe roll, chicken siu mai, shark fin dumpling.
Good Mong Kok Bakery, San Francisco CA

This was pretty good, and I’m glad that the dim sum wasn’t dry like some places. They were also on the larger side which was a bonus. I loved all the different flavors and you can’t beat the low prices. There was a line for lunch and it’s kind of intimidating to order though, lol.

Lunch buffet – North India

Lunch buffet - North India
Veggie, pakora, veggie samosa, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, chana masala, gajar muttar, naan. $13.99
North India, San Francisco CA

I really liked the large buffet selection at North India. They had a great variety and had dishes that you don’t normally see for lunch buffets. However, the service was really awkward and made for an uncomfortable lunch. They just need to back off a little bit.
