Chicken, prawns, tofu, lo mein noodle, mint, basil. $14.50

Meh, I wasn’t too impressed with this laksa. It seemed a little watered down to me. I wish there was more depth of flavor and a kick to it.

Horseradish mashed potatoes, toasted breadcrumbs. $21.50
Buckeye Roadhouse, Mill Valley CA
This brisket was nice and smoky, and the mashed potatoes and sauce were packed with flavor and yummy! I just wish that all parts of the brisket was equally moist and tender.
Seasonal vegetarian bomba rice, tomato, chayote, fried squash blossom. Chef’s tasting $45
Tinto, Palm Springs CA
I liked the texture of the rice, but it was surprisingly on the bland side. The fried squash blossom was also cold and limp by the time this dish arrived at the table.
Three meats with greens, provolone and oregano vinaigrette. $9.50
Boccalone, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was great! We grabbed them from the ferry building on our way to hike on Angel Island so they were a great treat after walking all day. I loved all the fresh charcuterie in sandwich and the bread was great too. Noms!
Classic savory biscuit made with grated cheddar cheese. $3
Biscuit Bender, San Francisco CA
I liked this biscuit. It was light and flaky, slightly baking powder-y, and the center was soft and remained a bit doughy. The cheddar cheese tasted great and provided another textural component. Mmm…
Pork marinated in achiote lemon sauce with marinated red onions, peppers and garlic. Served with rice, black beans, salad, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
La Tortilla, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavor of the pork, but it was really dry. I wish they could have used a different cut or added more fat into the dish.
Garlic, thai basil. $13.25

Wow, this ribs were delicious! They were SO flavorful, hot, sticky and wonderful. I loved the combination of flavors in the glaze. These definitely hit the spot and I couldn’t stop eating them!
Horseradish cocktail sauce, mignonette sauce.
Buckeye Roadhouse, Mill Valley CA
These oysters were fresh and delicious. I love Miyagi’s because they’re pretty small, clean tasting and briny. Mmm…
Serrano ham, pine nut escabeche. Chef’s tasting $45
Tinto, Palm Springs CA
These were good, solid even, but nothing very special. I liked the addition of the serrano ham to the brussels sprouts though for added flavor.
Housemade corned beef hash, poached eggs, toasted English muffin topped with housemade hollandaise sauce, served with hash browns. $14.95
The Cove on Castro, San Francisco CA
These eggs benedict were tasty! The corned beef hash was a yummy alternative to the typical ham slices. And again, their hash browns were pretty darn delicious!
Chevre with green chiles and plum jam. $4.25
Cowgirl Creamery, San Francisco CA
This was simple and delicious! The spicy chevre cheese wasn’t very spicy, but the green chiles were flavorful and perfect with the sweet plum jam.
Fennel, shallot, lavender, lemon, pastis-chardonnay broth.
Garcon, San Francisco CA
Hmm, I liked this ok but it was a bit too bitter. I’m not sure if it was the fennel or the lavender, but it was a bit over-powering.
