Potato galette, roasted rhubarb, rhubarb mostarda. Lunch prix fixe $30
Waterbar, San Francisco CA
I loved the flavors of this dish especially from the rhubarb, but the chicken was really dry! Even the potato galette was dry so I was pretty disappointed. The plate looked beautiful though.
French Bulldog: Grey Goose vodka, St. Germain elderflower, grapefruit, lemon. $13
Vermicelli rice noodles with greens. $8.95
Sunflower Vietnamese Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Ugh, I was not impressed… The chicken was dry and really salty so don’t even think about adding any of the fish sauce – you’ll pass a kidney stone. The imperial rolls were delicious, perhaps on the greasy side. I liked the noodles and the fried scallions, but the chicken was gross.

Served with fish sauce.
Iced Vietnamese coffee. $2.95
Pork shoulder loin with honey-chili glaze. $38
Coqueta, San Francisco CA
This pork was pretty damn tasty! But I would hope that it would be for costing almost forty bucks! I thought that it was maybe a bit undercooked for pork, so I was a little afraid to eat it, but I knew that it was really good quality pork and it tasted delicious so I ate the entire thing. The exterior was nicely seared and charred in places and the slices just melted in your mouth. The honey-chili sauce was also frickin’ amazing with the pork. I really liked this dish, but it was a bit much for a lunchtime entrée.

Red bell pepper, zucchini, mushroom, garlic and basil. $9.50
Jasmine Tea House, San Francisco CA
This was a pretty standard dish and not very exciting. They do give you a lot of chicken though which is great, but the sauce was a bit bland and boring.
With chow mein. $6.29
Panda Express, Cabazon CA
Orange chicken is probably the most non-Chinese dish you can get, but I still love it, lol! Let’s face it, Panda Express doesn’t really serve Chinese food. This chicken is super greasy and made me still sick afterward but it taste familiar and yummy. What is wrong with me?!
Thinly sliced strips of Korean barbecued beef, sautéed onions and shredded carrots, served over steamed rice, topped with sesame seeds. $12.99
Go Bistro, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
This didn’t taste Korean at all! I was salty and had soy sauce, but that was pretty much it. It tasted ok, but they really should call it Korean. That’s just false advertising, or maybe wishful thinking…
Marinated flounder fillet fried to golden brown topped with pine nuts and light sweet and spicy sauce. $11.95
Jasmine Tea House, San Francisco CA
Ugh, this was not the best item to order for delivery. By the time it made it to my place, the battered exterior was soft and soggy from the sauce and being steamed from the closed container. The sauce itself was very good either. I definitely wouldn’t order this again (even for dine in).
Honey walnut shrimp and Golden Szechuan fish with chow mein. $9.79
Panda Express, Cabazon CA
Ugh, I feel sick just knowing that I consciously decided to eat at Panda Express and I chose probably the worst entree items for you! My greasy Chinese food craving got the best of me but I really shouldn’t have eaten here, but the options were limited. Anyway, I felt disgusting after eating this (and no, I didn’t even begin to finish all of it).
Grilled pork marinated in savory Filipino adobo sauce, served over rice with cucumbers and onions. $11.99
Go Bistro, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Meh, this tasted only faintly like pork adobo. That’s probably a good thing because the pork was more lean and less salty than regular adobo. The dish was more reminiscent of a Filipino adobo and an actual example of one. I probably wouldn’t order it again.
Red wine, red onion, ancho cress, green peppercorns. $26
A16, San Francisco CA
Eh, I wasn’t very impressed with this dish. I felt like it could have been more rich and flavorful, and the sauce could have been a little thicker. There also wasn’t any starch or something carb-y to balance the dish. Thank goodness we ordered a side of polenta.
Masciarelli, ‘Marina Cvetic’, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, San Martino Sulla Marrucina, Chieti, Abruzzo 2009. $16
With roasted potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and mushrooms.
Firewood Cafe, San Francisco CA
Wow, this was a lot of food! The pork was ok, a bit on the dry side, but it was definitely hearty and healthier since it was pretty lean. This was a nightly special, and I’m glad that we gave it a try.
Brown rice, lettuce, red cabbage, carrot, pickled radish, bean sprouts, grilled onion, finely sliced egg. With fried egg and bibimbar spicy sauce. $10.95
BibimBar, San Francisco CA
This wasn’t the best bibim I’ve had, but it was decent for the price. I liked that you could customize the toppings and sauces though. And there was a decent variety of items to choose from. It was fast and convenient so I’ll probably go back. I just wish they’d throw in a bit more protein.
Served with spicy/sour vegetable soup.
