Albert eggs benedict – Zazie
With bacon, grated white cheddar, and homemade salsa fresca. Served on an English muffin with a fabulous light lemon hollandaise, home fries and orange wedge. Two for $12
Zazie, San Francisco
The cooks at Zazie are expert egg poachers. These things are absolutely beautiful! I love their lemon hollandaise too! The bacon was so yummy, but I kind of missed the salsa fresca though. I always order their home fries because they have delicious roasted garlic cloves. Noms! My one complaint is that the eggs benedicts could come out warmer.

St. Trop eggs benedict – Zazie
With wild smoked salmon, capers, and red onions. Served on an English muffin with a fabulous light lemon hollandaise, with salad and orange wedge. Two for $13
Zazie, San Francisco
You can’t go wrong with smoked salmon, onions and capers! Add a poached egg and hollandaise sauce and you have an even better combination! These eggs benedicts are filling and refreshing at the same time. David always opts for the salad – he does eat healthier than me, hehe.

Mimosas – Zazie
La Groseille mimosa with black currant (front). $8
Corsica mimosa with fresh grapefruit juice (back). $8
Zazie, San Francisco
It seems silly to pay $8 for a glass of champagne with some juice added, but the mimosas at Zazie are super yummy! I really liked the La Groseille. The black currant was SO refreshing!
Zazie’s organic specialty coffee. $2.95
Yummy "dim" dinner – Range
We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Range on Valencia Street in the Mission. The restaurant is dimly lit so I wasn’t able to take any good food pics, but I thought I’d post these anyway for posterity, hehe. We also had the creamed nettles with a poached farm egg for an appetizer, but that pic didn’t come out at all. Enjoy!

Pink Panther cocktail – Tito’s vodka, pomegranate, tawny port, black pepper, lemon.
Yummy yummy cocktail and I loved the soft pink color!
Smoking Gun cocktail – Bulleit bourbon, maraschino, Dolin sweet vermouth, scotch rinse.
I didn’t like this cocktail as much. I think the scotch rinse was too much for me.
Pan roasted bavette steak with horseradish, barley, brussels sprouts, shiitake mushrooms and baby turnips. $28
Yum! I’m not a huge horseradish fan, but these were mild and tasted great with the perfectly cooked steak. The brussels sprouts were yummy and the baby turnips were so frickin’ cute!
Coffee rubbed pork shoulder with creamy hominy and braised greens. $25
Omg! I’m hungry just recalling this dish! The pork was so tender and juicy and the coffee rub gave it a great flavor. The sauce was to die for and tasted SO good with the hominy and greens. A definite winner dish!

Roasted chicken & yuca fries – Limon Rotisserie
“Pollo a la Brasa”. Savory free-range 1/4 chicken (breast and wing) slowly roasted over open flame. Served with two sides and “Aji” sauces. $8.50
Limon Rotisserie, San Francisco
For my sides, I chose the yuca fries and tacu-tacu (Peruvian rice) and both were delicious. The roasted chicken was absolutely delicious and oh so tender and juicy! Omg, and I can’t believe it only cost $8.50 for the chicken and 2 sides. What a steal! That’s what I call dining deliciously on a budget! The restaurant is kind of randomly located in the Mission, but I’m definitely coming back for the yummy food and great service.
Aji sauces. I’m not sure what all the sauces were, but they were SO good! Normally aji sauce is bright green and is put through a blender, but none of these fit that description. No worries, I used them for the chicken and the yuca fries. Noms!

Tacu-tacu – Limon Rotisserie
Side of Peruvian style rice topped with sliced tomatoes, red onions and chopped cilantro.
Limon Rotisserie, San Francisco
I’m not sure what’s in this rice that makes it Peruvian, but it tasted pretty good. It wasn’t as tomato-y as Mexican rice I guess, and they must use different spices.
Strawberry lemonade. $2.50
Crispy chicken – Krua Thai
Crispy chicken sauteed with onions, bell peppers, jalapenos and sweet basil leaves in Krua’s special hot chili sauce. $12
Krua Thai, San Francisco
This was a delicious plate of food! I love the hot chili sauce that they use in this dish. It wasn’t very hot, but it had a nice sweetness to it that tasted great with the fried, breaded chicken. You get a great amount of food and the prices are decent! Krua Thai hasn’t been open that long and I’m glad we tried it. It’s great tasting comfort Thai food!
Combination seafood mild yellow curry – Krua Thai
Prawns, calamari and scallops in a yellow curry with coconut milk, potatoes, bell peppers, onions and peanuts. $14
Krua Thai, San Francisco
I didn’t try this dish, but I’m sure it was delicious! The only complaint at the table was that there wasn’t a lot of seafood in the curry, only a couple pieces of each kind. So that’s kinda lame.
Krua’s zesty beef – Krua Thai
Marinated beef lightly sauteed with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and jalapenos in a hot chili sauce. $12
Krua Thai, San Francisco
Another great dish from Krua Thai! This dish was packed with lots of flavor. The sauce was delicious and the beef was nice and tender. I love that all the vegetables and even the beef are cut into large, hearty pieces. Definitely use the rice to soak up all that delicious sauce!
Colored duck – Krua Thai
Crispy boneless duck with snow peas, pineapples, bell peppers, carrots and basil leaves sauteed in red coconut curry. $15
Krua Thai, San Francisco
Fried duck in a yummy curry – how can you go wrong?! I love when the cut the carrots with the scalloped edges. It makes for a more interested presentation.
Fried shumai – Krua Thai
Dumplings filled with smoothly minced prawns and spices. Served with seasoned soy sauce. Krua appetizer sampler, $11
Krua Thai, San Francisco
Nice and shrimpy fried dumplings, noms! I’ve decided that I’m no longer a fan of the large pork siu mai that you get for dim sum. These, however, were delicious! 🙂
