Steamed bullfrog legs - Guyi Hunan
Served in bamboo tube. ¥88
Guyi Hunan, Shanghai CHINA

This was an interesting dish. The bullfrog legs were generally bland, but these took on some of the flavor of the slightly spicy sauce. The legs were difficult to eat with chopsticks (I wish I could have used my hands but it seemed like a nicer restaurant). There were also some large starchy balls in there, but I don’t know what they were. They had a really soft texture that I didn’t like very much though.

Meh, I wasn’t too impressed with this laksa. It seemed a little watered down to me. I wish there was more depth of flavor and a kick to it.

Pork tenderloin - Garcon
White cheddar grit cake, bacon, Swiss chard, prosciutto wrapped peaches, pork jus. $27
Garcon, San Francisco CA

My favorite part of this dish was the prosciutto wrapped peaches! They were so juicy, sweet and savory. The pork was cooked pretty well too, still tender and also flavorful. I thought the grit cakes looked better on paper than what was actually served.
