€3.50

I know this isn’t a panini, but I forgot what they called it – oops! It tasted great though and I liked the buttery crust and the dense center.

Lasagne al forno alla Norma – Caffe Degli Specchi
With eggplant, Puglia ricotta, mozzarella, and tomato. €10
Caffe Degli Specchi, Genoa ITALY
Mmm, I loved this lasagna! It was SO cheesy-gooey and the sauce was delicious! I could’ve eaten an entire pan of this. NOMS!
Dutch crunch bbq pork buns – Mister Jiu’s
$11
Mister Jiu’s, San Francisco CA
These were definitely different from regular pork buns with the Dutch crunch exterior. I really liked the pork filling, but I wasn’t sold on the exterior since it ended up on the dry side.
Tricolore bruschette – Nessun Dorma
Tomatoes, stracchino cheese, pesto, basil. €9
Nessun Dorma, Manarola ITALY
Omg, this was delicious! And there was SO much of it! I loved the pesto and it the whole thing just tasted fresh and wonderful. The bread was also very hearty so it made for quite the meal.
House red wine.
Mongolian chicken & Szechuan eggplant – New Ming’s Restaurant
With fried rice. 2-item lunch combo $7.30
New Ming’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
I like their Szechuan eggplant, but it tends to be greasy (which I think makes it taste better but I’m a bad person, hehe). The Mongolian chicken was pretty good too, and not too salty.
Croquetes de pernil – El Berro
Ham croquettes. Variat de tapes €15
El Berro, Barcelona SPAIN
I liked these. But then there are very few croquettes that I haven’t liked, especially those found in Spain. 🙂
Mini ham sandwich – Bar Il Boccone
€2.50
Bar Il Boccone, Pisa ITALY
This was a no-frills sandwich, but it was tasty. And the bartista was super friendly (and cute)! 🙂
The Coup signature sandwich – The Organic Coup
Mary’s organic air-chilled chicken cooked in organic refined coconut oil organic spicy veggies on a toasted organic artisan bun with spicy bbq ranch. $9.99
The Organic Coup, San Francisco CA
Hmm, I liked that this sandwich (and restaurant) was all organic, but the chicken was kinda dry! The flavors were good enough but I couldn’t get past the over-cooked chicken.
Appetizer assortment – Caffe Degli Specchi
Caffe Degli Specchi, Genoa ITALY
I wasn’t sure what some of these items were, but they all tasted great! I especially liked the jammy item on the right with the savory bread on top.
Hot and sour soup – Mister Jiu’s
Early girl tomato, nastursium, lily bulb. $9
Mister Jiu’s, San Francisco CA
This fancy hot and sour soup was definitely non-traditional, but it tasted great with the same recognizable flavors of a normal hot and sour soup. I liked the subtle heat and the well developed flavors.
La bomba de la Barceloneta – La Taverna del Born
€3.95
La Taverna del Born, Barcelona SPAIN
Mmm, SO good! This large, deep fried risotto ball filled with cheese was delicious! I loved the beautiful color of the aioli on top too.
Fried olives – Aatxe
Happy hour $5
Aatxe, San Francisco CA
These pop-able bites were great to eat with the little canas of beer during happy hour. So much fun stuffing my face! 🙂
