Agnolotti dal plin - Perbacco
Pasta filled with roasted meats and savoy cabbage, sugo d’arrosto. $19
Perbacco, San Francisco CA

This tasted amazing! It was rich and meaty and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I don’t have agnolotti very often, but I loved it’s shape and small size. I don’t know if it was the sauce or the filling, but this had kinda of a grainy texture that was new and fun. The flavors were SO wonderful though. I could have eaten another plate!

Mmm, this was pretty delicious! The chowder was rich and flavorful, but it wasn’t thick. All the ingredients were quality and cooked perfectly. The chowder tasted great and just made you feel good eating it. Noms!

Wow, this salumi plate was delicious! Each variety had a unique flavor and texture and I enjoyed every one. I love that they cure all of it in-house, and I also liked the super thin cuts. Noms!

Meatball and fregola soup – Claudine

Meatball and fregola soup - Claudine
With pork and ricotta meatballs, fregola, kale and parmesan, drizzled with arbequina olive oil. With added egg $13
Claudine, San Francisco CA

My first fregola soup! I liked the texture of the pasta and the individual ingredients were great, but I don’t think I was a fan of the broth. It was kinda bland and it was barely warm. I came on a cold and rainy day and really wanted something hot to eat, but this wasn’t it! There was also too much cheese in the soup and it was awkward eating around the huge melted blob of it in the middle of the bowl. There was a sourness to the broth that I wasn’t a fan of either.

I think it’s tacky when restaurants charge for bread and butter. Lame.

Roasted beet salad - Waterbar
Pt. Reyes blue cheese, watercress, toasted hazelnuts. Lunch prix fixe $30
Waterbar, San Francisco CA

Simple and delicious! I loved the perfect wedges of purple and golden beets (go Huskies!). Local Point Reyes blue cheese is great with everything, and the minimal dressing was perfect in showcasing the main components. Noms!

Popover - The Rotunda
Mmm, these were SO good! I loved the airy, eggy interior especially with the subtle strawberry butter spread all over. I thought that the exterior was a little overdone and almost burnt tasting, but maybe it was just the one I got. I would have requested a second but I didn’t want to seem like a pig, lol!

Fried egg breakfast - Pink Tulip Hotel
Served with bread and Vietnamese coffee with milk. 35,000 VND
Pink Tulip Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM

The sweet hotel server asked if I wanted one side or two sides which I figured was regarding how I wanted my eggs fried. I said two sides. What I didn’t know was that the cook literally just flips the egg before plating so it was WAY over easy (too over easy for my taste). I quickly learned for the next time, hehe!

Duck curry - Duck Deli
Cari vit. With potatoes, and served with fresh basil and French baguette. 75,000 VND
Duck Deli, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM

Mmm, this duck curry was SO good. I actually loved all the bones and skin still attached to the duck. It’s so much more flavorful and fun to eat that way. And how can you deny the bread in Vietnam?! I definitely gained a few pounds on this trip.

Chicken adobo- Philippine Airlines
With scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms, tomato, fruit, sweet roll, dinner roll. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to Manila (MNL), Philippine Airlines

I’m sure most people wouldn’t think of chicken adobo as a breakfast meal item, but it is, lol! I don’t think there’s much difference in the kinds of foods that Filipinos eat for different meals. I’m all for it!
