Pureed eggplant, padron, peppers, roasted tomatoes, aged balsamic vinegar. Family style supper $46 per person
Staple and Fancy, Seattle WA
This chicken was super moist and tender, but I would have liked it more if the skin had been crispier. I love padron peppers so it was great to have a pile of them on the board, and the pureed eggplant was surprisingly tasty.

Beef, masala spice and chopped onions. $7.95
Burmese Kitchen, San Francisco CA
Large chunks of tender beef in a rich, delicious sauce – how can you go wrong? This was very tasty and there was plenty to share.

Ezogiku’s signature and most popular ramen. Topped with charsiu pork, fishcake, and green onion. $8.75
Ezogiku, Honolulu HI
Mmm, this totally hit the spot! I was craving carbs and salt and this delivered on both. The restaurant was packed during lunch so we had to wait for a counter seat to open up. Glad we did because the ramen was pretty good!

Hazelnut, cherry tomato, salsa verde, pesto and shallots. Family style supper $46 per person
Staple and Fancy, Seattle WA
This tasted good, but I wasn’t a fan of the fish texture. It was an odd combination of flaky and mushy. I loved the sauces and garnishes though, hehe.

Fillet fish, chili flake, garlic and fried shallots. $7.95
Burmese Kitchen, San Francisco CA
This was delicious, although not very spicy. I like heat so I’m always a little disappointed when they promise spice and it ends up mild anyway. The fish, however, was tender and very flavorful!

Pimm’s, gin, lemon, mint, cucumber. $11
Chambers Eat and Drink, San Francisco CA
I was already buzzed when I took this pic so I can’t recall 100% how the cocktail was, lol! I think it was a little on the sour side though. 🙂
Classic red car, 24th Street. I don’t know my cars, but this one caught my eye. It also had SF 49ers flags attached to its windows. Cool!
Warm brownie topped with Mitchell’s coconut ice cream. $7
Zadin, San Francisco CA
This was ok, but then I’m not a huge dessert person. I did love the Mitchell’s coconut ice cream though!
Tawny 10 year port. $5
Una Pizza Napoletana flyers, 16th Street. I love that restaurants in SF will canvas on flyer boards, lol.
Broccolini, baby carrots, harcot vert, fennel, and herbed tartar. $26
Lot 7, San Francisco CA
Wow, that herbed tartar sauce was amazing! And all the vegetables on the plate were beautifully cooked. The salmon, however, was a tad over-done for my taste.
Toilet paper-covered bicycle, 16th Street.

Staple and Fancy, Seattle WA
This was SO simple and delicious! I wish there were more clams though since they were really juicy and flavorful, hehe.

Young tamarind leaf, onion, crushed peanuts, sesame seeds and shredded cabbage. $6.95
Burmese Kitchen, San Francisco CA
I love this tamarind leaf salad! It’s got a variety of flavors and textures and is really fun to eat. San Francisco has a few Burmese restaurants and I really need to venture out and try more of them. Who wants to join?
Chang beer. They don’t have Burmese beer, but Thai beer is close enough, hehe.

Shaken Beef. Cubes of angus filet mignon, wok-seared medium rare with onions and garlic. Served on a bed of mixed greens, brown rice, and topped with yam fries. $20
Zadin, San Francisco CA
I don’t know why I expect every version of Shaking Beef to be good! This was ok, but the beef was a little tough. Oh well, the search continues…

Artichoke, cauliflower, roasted potatoes, muhammara. $25
Lot 7, San Francisco CA
This was delicious! The tuna was beautiful and the vegetables were perfectly cooked too. I’ve never had muhammara before, but this condiment was SO tasty! I guess it’s traditionally made from aleppo peppers, ground walnuts, breadcrumbs, and olive oil and can have additional ingredients. Noms!
