Steamed rice, salad, fish sauce. $7
Que Huong Vietnamese Deli, San Francisco CA
This was pretty tasty, but the chicken was a little dry. It had a nice flavor though. There was also a good amount of food for seven bucks. Nice!
Seal Rocks.
Sicilian meat balls with pine nuts and raisins, braised chard, spicy tomato sugo. $13
Barbacco, San Francisco CA
More, please! These meatballs were absolutely perfect. They had a great texture that wasn’t too dense. The tomato sauce was sublime and I just wanted more, lol! This dish definitely belongs on the 7×7 list (unlike some other dishes).

Tuscan chicken liver pate with balsamic braised onion, roasted hen of the woods mushroom with parmigiano, roasted peppers with anchovy and capers. Each $3
Barbacco, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these were SO good! Each bruchette was very distinct and delicious in its on way. I wish I had more time to try the other preparations. I will definitely be back!
Strawberry mint limonata. $3
Basic toppings with bbq pork (1 slice), green onion, mushroom. Add chasu, boiled egg, and spinach. $13.95
Ramen Underground, San Francisco CA
I think this ramen is kinda expensive for a regular lunch. Once you add extra toppings, and tax and tip, you end up spending more than fifteen bucks for a bowl of soup! The quality has also gone downhill. The charsu pork slices were tiny and torn up – very sad. I don’t think it’s worth it any longer to wait in the ridiculously long line for this food.

Macrina demi-baguette with spicy pork, guacamole, nunya sauce, signature slaw, and homemade pickled peppers and onions. $8
Marination Station, Seattle WA
Wow, this sandwich was delicious! It was big and messy and packed with flavor! The spicy pork was tender and the bread was great. Noms!
Dogwood tree, Poulsbo.
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.

Bread and butter. $2
I think it’s tacky when restaurants charge for bread and butter. Lame.
Sunrise from my balcony.
With egg fried rice, hot and sour soup, and barbecue pork. $8.50
Judy Fu’s Snappy Dragon, Seattle WA
This dish was REALLY salty! I liked the flavor of the garlic beef, but after a while I couldn’t taste anything else because of the high sodium content. The hot and sour soup was yummy though. The barbecue pork was good, but the fried rice was an afterthought.
Hot and sour soup.

Marination Station, Seattle WA
Mmm, I love spam musubi and this was really tasty! So salty and umami, noms!
Spring plantings, Port Orchard.
With egg fried rice, hot and sour soup, and barbecue pork. $8.75
Judy Fu’s Snappy Dragon, Seattle WA
Wow, this place has a really great lunch combo deal! I guess they tend to over-sauce their crispy chicken so my brother suggested getting the sauce on the side. The food was pretty good. I liked the barbecue pork and the chicken wasn’t too greasy.
Sesame chicken sauce requested on the side.
Suzzallo Library, University of Washington.
With grilled onions and hot peppers.. $6.50
Rosamunde Sausage Grill, San Francisco CA
Mmm, so hot and greasy! The sausages are great here, but I have to give it to them when it comes to the toppings. They’re great and they definitely pile it on. Pair it with a some beer and you have a great meal.
Weihenstephan beer. $6.50
Bernal Heights Park.
With cheese, beans, jalapeños, pico de gallo and sour cream. $12.99
Pappasito’s Cantina, George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)
This was kinda gross. The nacho cheese had that weird slimy texture and the chicken was super dry. The pico de gallo salsa was also really bland. I had a few bites and threw the rest away. I didn’t want to risk an angry bathroom visit on my next leg, lol!

Double patties, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle, sloppy sauce, frites. $14.50
Del Frisco’s Grille, Washington DC
And this was my last lunch in DC with a few people from my work group. It kinda made me sad, but it was nice working with the team at headquarters. Anyway, this burger was pretty good. It was juicy and had a lot of flavor. I loved the little squirt bottle filled with ketchup, and the parmesan fries were addicting. Noms!
