A special traditional boneless beef curry, topped with fresh ginger and cilantro. $8.99
Pakwan, San Francisco CA

I’m sure everyone in San Francisco knows that Pakwan is the place to go for delicious Pakistani food at amazing prices. When we were there the last time, there was a LARGE Pakistani family taking up a third of the restaurant so this prolonged the wait for food, but I think it added to the overall atmosphere. I mean the food must be good if Paskistanis are holding family functions there, right?!

This was a new one for me! I’d never tried the beef stuffed naan bread before. They also put a lot of coriander seeds in there. The filling was flavorful but dry. I think I was expecting it to be more moist. Overall, I enjoyed it but I don’t think I’ll order it again.

Metal starfish decoration, Dolores Park. They have these sea-themed park decorations throughout the city. I think they’re kinda cool, but it’s pretty obvious that they’re installed to keep skateboarders from grinding all the surfaces.

This was SO flavorful (especially with that fresh ginger, hehe)! Seriously, the dish was delicious and the chicken cuts were very tender. Mmm, this is why I love curries!

There’s something magical about a fresh, warm piece of naan bread. The ones at Pakwan are light and fluffy and utterly delicious!

Ivy covered house, 17th Street

Ivy covered house, 17th Street. Ok, I get that some home owners like that old, natural look but this is a bit ridiculous. You can’t tell from the picture, but the only other portions of the house that are visible are parts of the upper windows. I would feel creeped out living in a completely plant-covered home.
