$9.99
Spices, San Francisco CA
Hmm, I felt like this was all noodles. There was very little beef in here so I was left wanting more. And it wasn’t very spicy either. Not my favorite.

Lite bites box – Alaska Airlines
Roasted almonds, gummi bears, fig bar with La Marca prosecco. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to Portland (PDX), Alaska Airlines
This was a cool little snack box from Alaska Airlines. I could have done without gummy bears, but oh well. More prosecco, please! Hehe!
Tuna and watermelon tartare – Le Pigeon
Watermelon dashi, sweet and spicy pickles, lime aioli, crispy rice. 5 course tasting menu $85
Le Pigeon, Portland OR
This dish was just so fresh, bright, clean, and delicious! I loved the way they made the watermelon and tuna similar in appearance. It was like a surprise to see if you got a piece of watermelon or tuna before you took a bite. Yum!
Bread and salted butter.
Ginger chicken ramen – The Ramen Bar
Shio tare, grilled chicken, soy-cured egg, yuzu. $12
The Ramen Bar, San Francisco CA
This ramen was clean and comforting. The chicken was super succulent and the ramen noodles were perfectly cooked. Wished this place wasn’t so expensive as lunches go in the FiDi.
Good Chit pilsner – Rogue Ales & Spirits
Pint $7
Rogue Ales & Spirits, Portland OR
This pilsner was clean and bright, and was a great drink to relax with on a sunny farmers market weekend in Portland.
Chocolate chip cookie and brownies – American Airlines Admirals Club
Complimentary
American Airlines Admirals Club, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Hmm, these were ok. The cookies was on the sweet side and it could have been more chewy. The brownie bites were mediocre.
Beef brisket tacos – Tortilla Kitchen
Corn tortillas, napa cabbage, pico de gallo, cilantro cream. $8.95
Tortilla Kitchen, San Francisco CA
I loved the flavors of these tacos especially the cilantro cream. The beef brisket was a bit dry though and I wished the tortillas were warmed up.
Potter’s clay baked lamb – Pineapple & Pearls
Bar seating $180
Pineapple & Pearls, Washington DC
Sadly, I don’t really remember much about this lamb except that they explained ad nauseam. I appreciated the description, but quickly forgot everything once I began eating. I do remember that the lamb was really tender and very flavorful.
Chicken siu mai – Dim Sum King Seafood Restaurant
$3.50
Dim Sum King Seafood Restaurant, Toronto CANADA
I hated this place, and I will never return.
Hot and sour soup – Spices
Tofu, egg, bamboo shoots, black fungus, scallions. Small $6.99
Spices, San Francisco CA
I love hot and sour soup and this was good. It could have been a bit more spicy, but it was tasty enough.
Homemade corned beef hash – Island Cafe
Two eggs over medium, hashbrowns, wheat toast. $11.59
Island Cafe, Oak Harbor WA
Hmm, this corned beef hash tasted weird. Perhaps there was too much vinegar or something, but it also had a weird reddish purple color. Not my favorite. At least the wheat toast was decent.
Nova Scotia crab croquettes – Amsterdam BrewHouse
Fresh lump crab croquettes, romesco and lemon aioli. $14
Amsterdam BrewHouse, Toronto CANADA
Ugh, another super cold dish! I’m so tired of eating cold food here – I could have just gone out for ice cream. And the service was bad, so there really wasn’t much going for this place beyond the beer.
