Blistered green beans - Hawker Fare
Tossed with prik khing sauce, pork bacon. $9.50
Hawker Fare, San Francisco CA

This tasted great! I loved the texture of the green beans and they were super flavorful. The service on the other hand left much to be desired. They were friendly enough but weren’t good at anticipating a diner’s needs. Boo!

Cucumber water, watermelon, tapioca, pink peppercorn, borage blossoms. $16
The Partisan, Washington DC

These scallops were really interesting. I don’t think they were my favorite ever, but the combination of flavor was so new to me and I was honestly confused on what to think. I think that’s a good thing because at least I was really thinking about the food, but I ultimately couldn’t get into this dish.
