Another tasty deep fried option, lol! I believe this was a vegetable version. They were decently sized and the wrapper stayed nice and crispy. 4 for $4.25

Fried chicken salad – Bakesale Betty
Project 365: Day 22
Today was another bike-to-work day! I didn’t have to work until noon so it was perfect to get some cardio in. I didn’t go to the gym in the morning, but stayed home and watched some tv and work on the computer. I was very productive!
The ride went fairly quickly, partly because there wasn’t too much wind. The 15 mile ride still took me over 50 minutes though. It’s a nice break from the gym. I don’t really have much more to report. My work vehicle got traded in for a newer one, so that was a little sad. I was emotionally attached to my work car, hehe! Now it will probably be auctioned off to a life of crime. 🙂
One more work day before the weekend – can’t wait! Work party at my place on Saturday, brunch with B2 on Sunday and possibly dinner with Hubbs. I know, my life is SO difficult! LOL
Chopped, crispy fried chicken breast atop a zesty coleslaw of cabbage, red onions, bell peppers, and parsley. $10
Bakesale Betty, Oakland CA
I really love this salad from Bakesale Betty. You get so much delicious fried chicken, and let me tell you, it’s pretty frickin’ delicious! What really surprises me is how amazing the coleslaw is! It’s vinegar based and not mayo based so it very light and the citrus-y. It definitely brightens up the salad and balances out the fried chicken. Get some of the hot sauce and dip the chicken pieces for the perfect bite!
Mongolian beef – Chef Wang Restaurant
Sliced beef with onions, green onions, and chilies. $7.95
Chef Wang Restaurant, Millbrae CA
Not impressed with this one either. The quality of the beef wasn’t very good – it was kind of tough. I guess this place was cheap and you got a lot of food, but some things just aren’t worth it regardless.
Sweet and sour pork – Chef Wang Restaurant
Deep fried pork in a sweet and sour sauce. $7.50
Chef Wang Restaurant, Millbrae CA
I think this was my favorite dish from Chef Wang. I know, it was deep fried but I was really craving something bad for you. This was delicious and hit the spot just right!
Chef Wang chow mein – Chef Wang Restaurant
Wok tossed noodles with a beef, chicken, shrimp, cabbage, onions and scallions. $5.95
Chef Wang Restaurant, Millbrae CA
This wasn’t all that great. It was pretty standard but I did appreciate that there was plenty of large pieces of proteins thrown in. This would be great if you were carb-loading! 🙂
Bean curd with wine sauce – Chef Wang Restaurant
Fried tofu with broccoli, bok choy, zucchini, carrot, onion, peas, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and garlic. $6.95
Chef Wang Restaurant, Millbrae CA
You never sure what you’re gonna get from some Chinese menus because certain dish names aren’t very descriptive. Who knew this dish would have such a variety of vegetables in it!? Pleasant surprise. 🙂
Lumberjack cake – Frances
Pink lady apple, medjool dates, maple-walnut ice cream, powdered sugar. $8
Frances, San Francisco
This sinfully dense cake was SO fickin’ good! It had a beautiful dark and rich color and it was bursting with yummy fruits which helped to keep the cake very moist. The ice cream scoop almost looks fake in the photo. I love the texture of it in the pic – it still looks super cool! Amazing flavors all around in this great dessert!

Red snapper – Frances
Chanterelle mushrooms, new potatoes, Meyer lemon gremolata, greens. $28
Frances, San Francisco
I wanna know what kind of green those were on top! They looked (and tasted) great! This was such a beautiful presentation. The fish was cooked perfectly, but I will say that this dish was slightly over-salted for my taste. Everything tasted great but my salt taste buds had to work overtime. Despite the salt issue, I’d still order this lovely dish again!
Five Dot Ranch bavette steak – Frances
Fingerling potato, roasted shallot, spinach, sunchoke puree, chopped chives. $26
Frances, San Francisco
This beef dish was an absolute winner! The steak was SO tender, warm and delicious. The hearty vegetables, smooth sunchoke puree and beautiful sauce all came together perfectly to create a wonderful plate. Yes please!
Applewood smoked bacon beignets – Frances
Served with maple chive creme fraiche. $6.50
Frances, San Francisco
Omg, this was the third time I’ve had these and they STILL knock my socks off! I’m SO in love with these beignets! I have to order them every time I eat at Frances. They’re very light and fluffy, but the amount of flavor that they pack into these things is absolutely mind-boggling! I’d go back just for some wine and a bowl of these lovely treats.
Frances red wine – Frances
Beverage director Paul blends this fresh and delicious wine with Marco Cappelli from Miraflores Winery. $1 per ounce
Frances, San Francisco
I love that you can get wine here by the ounce! Not that it really prevents you (or maybe just us) from drinking more. But it’s a great concept. The Frances red wine is actually a very tasty table red. It goes down easily and has enough flavor and body to keep you interested.
Toasted almonds. This complimentary snacks was slightly sweet and completely addicting. Frances even makes almonds irresistible!
Birria seca – San Jalisco
Barbecued goat served dry and accompanied with onion, cilantro, lemon, and Mexican style rice and refried beans. Served with a side of corn tortillas. $10.95
San Jalisco, San Francisco
I decided to order the goat, which I’ve never had a restaurant (that I can remember). We grew up butchering goats for family parties. I was feeling adventurous and curious so I chose the birria. Tasting it immediately brought me back to my childhood – that’s exactly how goat tastes! I haven’t had it for SO long but the flavor of it was familiar. I liked it! Lemme also add that the refried beans were amazing!
Chips and salsa. The salsa started out a little tomato-y which I don’t really like, but it had suck a lingering heat to it that I ended up loving it!
