Chicken fried steak and eggs – Orphan Andy’s

Posted on February 16, 2012 by vicentesf

Deep fried chicken patty thing (lol) with country pork gravy and scrambled eggs. $12.45
Orphan Andy’s, San Francisco

Why do I torture myself? This is my 2am go-to meal and it’s frickin’ amazing! But I’ve come to learn that it’s not that amazing when you’re sober and having a real brunch, lol! Ugh, how many of these have I eaten in my lifetime? Too many!

Coffee.

Ugh, another late night out, lol!

September 2013. Hmm, guess I was out drinking again, lol! I am really surprised at how consistent they are with their plating. The similarity from this one to the previous is pretty amazing.

October 2013. OK, something is wrong here. I was probably drunk when I ordered this, but there is no way that I would have ordered fried eggs instead of over-medium. That’s really annoying. 😦

Chicken adobo – Patio Filipino

Posted on February 15, 2012 by vicentesf

Braised chicken in soy sauce, vinegar and garlic with fried plantains. $11.95
Patio Filipino, San Bruno CA

I loved this version of chicken adobo! It tasted rich and flavorful and I love the additional of the fried plantains. SO yummy! The chicken was super tender and you have to spoon all that delicious sauce over your rice. Noms!

Steamed rice. $1.75 per person

Cecilia’s minced chicken – Betelnut Restaurant

Posted on February 13, 2012 by vicentesf

With black mushrooms, lup cheong (Chinese sausage), green onions, pine nuts, and iceberg lettuce cups. $11.88
Betelnut Restaurant, San Francisco

This was pretty tasty but I expected it to be so much better. It didn’t come off as very special, but I did like the flavors and how the lettuce cups were trimmed and stacked.

Peruvian empanada – Pisco Latin Lounge

Posted on February 11, 2012 by vicentesf

Grilled chicken, queso fresco, aji huacatay. $3
Pisco Latin Lounge, San Francisco

This tasted amazing and I loved the aji dipping sauce. The empanada was nice and crispy/chewy on the outside and the chicken and queso were so flavorful. And for only $3 each, you can’t go wrong!

Kai pad pak – Lers Ros Thai

Posted on February 9, 2012 by vicentesf

Stir-fried chicken with cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and bean sauce. $10.95
Lers Ros Thai, San Francisco

Yet another bland offering from Lers Ros Thai. This was supposed to be a chicken dish, but perhaps the price of chicken had sky rocketed that day so only a few scrawny pieces ended up on the plate. Unfortunate.

Roasted chicken and bread salad – Zuni Cafe

Posted on February 8, 2012 by vicentesf

From the wood-fired brick oven. Roasted chicken for two with warm Tuscan-style bread salad. Approximately 1 hour. $48
Zuni Cafe, San Francisco

This is hands-down the best chicken I’ve EVER had! It was definitely worth the hour long wait. You better be dining with someone you like because you have plenty of time to chat while you wait for this amazing plate of food! The chicken is SO moist and flavorful and the warm bread salad soaks up all the yummy juices and drippings. I’m not sure what the greens were, but it was a hearty variety and held up nicely to the rich chicken and bread salad. I greedily ate a portion and nibbled on some more before getting the rest boxed up. Silverfox picked off the skin because he’s a healthy eater, so I helped myself to it, lol! The skin was the best part!

I think the portion is way too much for only two people, but a table of two guys near us quickly devoured theirs! They must have been super hungry, hehe. It’s a whole chicken so each person gets a breast, thigh, leg and wing.

And let me tell you, it even tasted amazing warmed up the next day, lol! If I could have this once a month, I would be such a happy person. I think I’ve found my last meal if I ever end up on death row!

Fried chicken and waffles – Little Skillet

Posted on February 5, 2012 by vicentesf

2 piece (breast and thigh) fried chicken and 2 waffles with house syrup and powdered sugar. $8.50
Little Skillet, San Francisco

Farmerbrown’s Little Skillet location is very cute. It’s this tiny little window in the middle of an alley near the ballpark where are the nearby techies go for amazing chicken and waffles during lunch! Noms! The chicken is fried perfectly and SO delicious. The waffles are also amazing. I love combining everything together and eating them in one bite. Gotta have the syrup and some hot sauce in every bite. It’s good, people!

Chicken enchilada – Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant

Posted on February 3, 2012 by vicentesf

One chicken enchilada topped with plenty of enchilada sauce and cheese. Served with rice, refried beans, salad, and corn tortilla. $8.95
Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant, San Francisco

Now this was good! I loved the enchilada sauce. It was dark and rich and very mole tasting. The refried beans were also delicious as was the rice. I only order the single enchilada and I’m glad I did because you get a lot of food. It also came with a side salad and a corn tortilla. Add all you can eat chips and salsa and you’ve got a filling meal! Noms!

Side salad of lettuce, carrots, cucumber, radish and salsa. Complimentary.

Spicy buffalo wings – Round Table Pizza

Posted on January 30, 2012 by vicentesf

Since I was already ordering a large pizza for myself, I thought why not add a few more calories and get some buffalo wings? Hehe! I love buffalo wings, but these weren’t very good. They were too soggy and not at all spicy. With ranch dipping sauce. 6 pieces for $3.99
Round Table Pizza, San Francisco

Kati rolls – Kasa Indian Eatery

Posted on January 30, 2012 by vicentesf

Classic Indian street food. A flaky, buttery roti (handmade bread) wrapped around your choice of filling, with marinated onions and chutney. Served with raita (yogurt). $4.50 each
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco

The food at Kasa is very comforting to me. Everything packs a punch of flavor, it fast, convenient, and relatively inexpensive. I’ve loved their kati rolls since the first time I tried them. The buttery roti is amazing and the fillings are SO tasty. I always get mine with extra hot sauce in the roll and extra raita on the side. The perfect amount is one and a half rolls! One roll is too little and two is too much. Darn, hehe!

When I took this pics, I was on my way to meet Hubbs for drinks. It was dark outside and I sat at the side counter where they have these yellow lights beaming down on you. The walls are also painted yellow so parts of the restaurant are just saturated in yellow. It made for some interesting pics.

Chicken tikka masala filling. Char-grilled and marinated naturally raised chicken in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce.

Lamb curry filling. Saucy grass-fed lamb and potatoes.

Huff’s yakitori birthday dinner – Mokutanya

Posted on January 29, 2012 by vicentesf

A group of us from work went to this yakitori restaurant to celebrate Huff’s birthday. I’d tell you what age he was turning, but I don’t know that information. Huff is good at keeping a tight lip about his age. Such a girl, lol!

I can’t remember if I’ve ever eaten at a yakitori restaurant where you take your shoes off outside of your table area and step down to sit below the level of the floor. It was kinda cool!

What wasn’t cool was when the host came by and “entertained” our table with some card tricks and a few jokes. It was OK, but it seemed forced and I felt a little uncomfortable, like I was trapped in my below-ground table while he stood above us performing for his captive audience.

The dinner went great and the food was pretty good. Apparently the noodles were really good – I didn’t have any though. I like my work group and dinner always flies by. At the end of dinner, splitting the bill was a headache, again! I think we all expect Papa Chang to take care of the check and let everyone know how much they owe, yay!

Mokutanya, Burlingame CA

Hotate yakitori. Sea scallops grilled with pepper. $4

Spicy kurobuta sausage yakitori Mokutanya

Spicy kurobuta sausage yakitori. Made with Berkshire pork. $2

Kawa yakitori. Chicken skin. $2

Wagyu beef yakitori. $3.50

Croquettes. Deep fried panko-breaded mashed potatoes, served with tonkatsu sauce. $6

Fried chicken salad – Bakesale Betty

Posted on January 26, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 22

Today was another bike-to-work day! I didn’t have to work until noon so it was perfect to get some cardio in. I didn’t go to the gym in the morning, but stayed home and watched some tv and work on the computer. I was very productive!

The ride went fairly quickly, partly because there wasn’t too much wind. The 15 mile ride still took me over 50 minutes though. It’s a nice break from the gym. I don’t really have much more to report. My work vehicle got traded in for a newer one, so that was a little sad. I was emotionally attached to my work car, hehe! Now it will probably be auctioned off to a life of crime. 🙂

One more work day before the weekend – can’t wait! Work party at my place on Saturday, brunch with B2 on Sunday and possibly dinner with Hubbs. I know, my life is SO difficult! LOL

Chopped, crispy fried chicken breast atop a zesty coleslaw of cabbage, red onions, bell peppers, and parsley. $10
Bakesale Betty, Oakland CA

I really love this salad from Bakesale Betty. You get so much delicious fried chicken, and let me tell you, it’s pretty frickin’ delicious! What really surprises me is how amazing the coleslaw is! It’s vinegar based and not mayo based so it very light and the citrus-y. It definitely brightens up the salad and balances out the fried chicken. Get some of the hot sauce and dip the chicken pieces for the perfect bite!
