These fatty pork spareribs aren’t the healthiest things for you, but I always order them. They’re SO good! 1 pound for $3.80
Good Luck Dim Sum, San Francisco CA
Pinkish-purple royal trumpet vine (Distictis riversii, Bignoniaceae) with pink jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum, Oleaceae), Roosevelt Way.

SO, San Francisco CA
I actually ordered the “SO black bean noodles”, but I got the “Black bean noodles” instead. OMG, why do restaurants name items “SO” similarly! Anyway, the SO black bean noodles are delicious because of their spiciness. These noodles were good, but not what I was craving. Ugh, I should have known better and come AFTER the lunch rush. I was also super annoyed trying to leave when I was finished because this place was sorely understaffed. I’ve learned my lesson.
Another beautiful San Francisco morning from my balcony.
With green and red bell peppers, onions, served with steamed rice. Lunch special $7.25
Grand Palace Restaurant, South San Francisco CA
Mmm, fish in black bean sauce is always a winner for me! Soft fish filets with a salty sauce with juicy veggies, heck yeah!
“47 til infinity” girl and giraffe sidewalk stencil, San Francisco Bay Trail.
David wouldn’t eat any of these, so I was left with the chore. I guess I thought that I liked chicken feet from childhood, but maybe I was wrong. These were a hard to eat and too sweet and mushy for my taste. They were all skin and bones and I couldn’t finish them. Perhaps if they were piping hot I could have conquered, hehe! $3.60
Tai Wu Mr. Fong’s Restaurant, Daly City CA
White flowers of the Globe Lily or Fairy Lantern (Calochortus albus, Liliaceae). These looked like they were on their way out, but I was glad to have caught them before the season was over.
Wok sauteed clams with chopped onions, red and green bell peppers in a black been sauce. $5.85
Grand Palace Restaurant, South San Francisco
These weren’t all that good. I think they were overcooked or something. The clams were tough and chewy and the whole dish didn’t taste particularly special. It looks like a lot of food, but the clams they use have really thick shells which makes up most of the volume. Don’t think I’ll be ordering these again.
