Filled with minced chicken, corn, onions, potatoes, and yellow curry powder coated with wheat flour. Served with sweet and sour sauce. Krua appetizer sampler, $11
Krua Thai, San Francisco
These didn’t have a very strong curry flavor which was a little disappointing, but I loved the texture of them. I wish the appetizer sampler came with more than just two samosas! I know, I’m a pig. Hehe!
Singha beer. $5
Half order of criss-cut waffle fries topped with Phat Philly’s Famous Cheddar Beer Sauce made with Newcastle Beer. $3
Phat Philly, San Francisco
Phat Philly is a guilty pleasure of mine. I pass by the place every day on way to Bart and it tempts me every time. I love these fries! The waffle fries are great by themselves, but the cheddar beer sauce puts it over the top! So good!
Japanese fried pot stickers with pork. $4.95 happy hour
Kama Sushi, San Francisco
Combine hot, fried gyoza with the salty, vinegary dipping sauce and you have a winner! Gyoza has to be one of my favorite items to order at Japanese places, and these were very good especially for the discounted happy hour price! Gotta love Kama Sushi!
Large Sapporo beer. $3.50 happy hour
Slice of sea bass on a mound of rice with a dab of wasabi and garnished with sliced scallions. $3.99 for two pieces
Slice of tuna. $3.99 for two pieces
Crazy Sushi, San Francisco
Both these nigiri have such a beautiful pink color. I loved the maguro, and I recommend maguro nigiri to all the novice sushi eaters out there since I think it’s one of the least fishy tasting. Maguro is readily available at sushi places and is more forgiving on a squeamish palette. I’m definitely no sushi expert, but I try to eat out of my comfort zone. That’s why I tried the suzuki, and I’ll say that I’m not a fan. Perhaps Crazy Sushi’s cut wasn’t fresh, but it had an odd flavor that did not agree with me. I had to dunk that piece mulitple times into the soy sauce to get it down.
I love the free side salad at Japanese restaurants with the familiar sesame, ginger dressing. Yum!
And what’s a sushi dinner without some Japanese beer? Sapporo is my prefered choice, hehe!
