Good fortune seafood treasury – M.Y. China

Good fortune seafood treasury - M.Y. China
Shrimp, scallop, calamari with mixed greens and mushrooms. Prosperity dinner $88
M.Y. China, San Francisco CA

This was actually pretty good (surprising since I’ve hated almost everything I’ve had at M.Y. China). The seafood was good nicely (not overcooked) and the sauce was light and didn’t overpower the ingredients.

Pork al pastor nachos – Tacos Club

Pork al pastor nachos - Tacos Club
House-made corn chips covered with cheese, pork, jalapenos, sour cream, black beans, and salsa. $9.80
Tacos Club, San Francisco CA

I liked these nachos! The pork was very tasty and tender and the toppings were quality. The house made chips were also thick and strong enough to withstand holding all the toppings without breaking. They really need a salsa bar though!

Beef brisket meat plate - 4505 Burgers & BBQ
Served with baked beans, frankaroni (crispy fried mac & cheese with hot dog inside), pickles and warm buttery parker house roll. $12.75
4505 Burgers & BBQ, San Francisco CA

Wow, everything on this plate was simple wonderful! The brisket was SO tender and juicy and packed with flavor. It was fatty and soft and I absolutely loved it. The frankaroni was also great – definitely not diet-friendly but definitely a must-try. NOMS!

As much as I didn’t enjoy this restaurant, this pasta dish was really great. I loved the flavor of the pesto and the soft mandilli had a wonderful texture.

Oxtail poutine - Wayfare Tavern
Hand cut potatoes, roasted vegetable gravy, mozzarella curd, fried kale. $16
Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco CA

Omg, this was really rich between the fries, gravy, cheese, oxtail, AND fried kale! It definitely filled me up for lunch and put me in a food coma back at my work desk, lol! It was delicious though.
