Mini cheeseburger combo - Super Duper Burgers
One 4 ounce patty, ground daily all natural Niman Ranch beef. “Everything on it” with lettuce, tomato, red onions, Super sauce. Served with fries and Diet Coke. $9.40
Super Duper Burgers, San Francisco CA

They cook their patties to medium and it was very juicy and tender, noms! I don’t even mind that the burger was mini because with the fries, pickles and drink it was plenty of food for me.

This is a pretty yummy plate for a cheat meal. I’d rather eat at Super Duper than some fast food joint.

I love Arizmendi’s daily pizzas! This was a new combination for me and I really enjoyed it. The chard and chipotle flavors were lovely and I always enjoy the sourdough crust. The extra sliver that they throw in is always much appreciated!

Shaking beef - Jiao
This was a great light version of shaking beef! I was pleasantly surprised that it came out as more of a large salad than a pile of meat. Surprising for me, I know, but I was in the mood for a lighter meal that day.

Tacos de pescado – Chilango

Tacos de pescado - Chilango
Fish tacos with grilled local rock cod, romaine lettuce, red onions, radish and salsa on corn tortillas. Lunch pre fixe (prifex fijo) $15
Chilango, San Francisco CA

Overall, I liked these tacos but I was annoyed by several things. The lettuce was not romaine as described on the menu. The tacos were so wet that they completely made the corn tortillas fall apart making them difficult to eat by hand. They were also messy looking and didn’t look appetizing. I did like the grilled rock cod though – they were very flavorful.

Afternoon tea - Virgin Atlantic
Mixed cheese and red onion finger sandwiches on white bread, scone served with Frank Cooper’s “Oxford” strawberry jam and Rodda’s classic cornish clotted cream, and coffee. Complimentary
London (LHR) to San Francisco (SFO), Virgin Atlantic

I’m not a big tea fan so I opted for coffee. I have to say that I really liked the finger sandwiches. They were really flavorful and the white bread with mixed cheese spread had a delightful texture and would playfully stick to the roof of my mouth. The scone with jam and clotted cream were also tasty and different. Yay!

Chicken pesto pizza – Firewood Cafe

Chicken pesto pizza Firewood Cafe
Rotisserie chicken, pesto sauce, roasted red peppers and sliced red onions. $10.95
Firewood Cafe, San Francisco CA

This pizza was ok. I usually wouldn’t say this, but I think it had too many toppings and pesto. The crust seemed weighted down by everything. I prefer some of their other pizza options.

This was at SFO and it wasn’t as good. The crust was thicker and a little burnt. Not my favorite.

Ceviche St. Germain Bistro & Cafe

Mahi mahi, shrimp, red onion and bell peppers cured in lime juice. Garnished with apple slices. $11.68
St. Germain Bistro & Cafe, Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO

This tasted all right, but the mahi mahi was starting to get squishy and have a grainy texture. The flavors were there though.

Looking out onto the San Juan Bay along the Paseo de la Princesa. This was near the start of a pleasant waterfront stroll on the Paseo. The shade trees were abundant in this section, but were nonexistent on the latter portion of the Paseo.

Octopus salad with red onions, lime, cilantro and olive oil. $8
Punto de Vista Restaurant, Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO

I enjoyed this dish. The octopus had some bite, but wasn’t too rubbery. It also had a lot of flavor. The one thing I will say is that there was way too much oil!

Project 365: Day 64

I had to work in Oakland in the morning today so I stopped by one of the Mexican food trucks in West Oakland for lunch. One of my co-workers suggested El Patron Lonchera because they have tasty tacos and the food hasn’t made him sick yet, lol!

Carnitas and lengua tacos El Patron Mexican Truck

Two carnitas (pork) and two lengua (beef tongue) tacos on corn tortillas topped with red onions and cilantro. Served with pickled carrots, radishes, and jalapenos. Tacos $1.25 each. Diet Coke $1
El Patron Lonchera, Oakland CA

These were pretty good! Both tacos had great flavor and they didn’t get me sick, hehe. The beef tongue was in large chunks (yum) and the carnitas were nicely shredded with a few crispy pieces (double yum). The guy running the food truck doesn’t speak English so you either have to gesture or try and remember your pathetic highschool Spanish grammar!  🙂

Project 365: Day 37

I made it through the week and having to work two 12-hour days. They asked me if I wanted to work around long day today, but I politely declined. I’m tired and want to spend time with Silverfox. I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Gonna hang out with old friends and meet new ones. And of course, EAT!

Swiss chard, mozzarella cheese, red onions, bread, flour, starter salt. $3
Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco

Yes! Arizmendi continues going back up my nommy bakery list. The last focaccia I had at Arimendi wasn’t so yummy, but this was really delicious! I love mozzarella cheese, and the chard and red onions added a flavorful sweetness. It tastes even better warmed up in the toaster oven!

Larb phed yang Lers Ros Thai

Chopped roasted duck mixed with rice powder, red onion, cilantro, chilies, chili powder and a lime based salad dressing. Served with iceberg lettuce cups. $9.95
Lers Ros Thai, San Francisco

This duck larb was AMAZING! I’ve never had duck larb before, and this was delicious. I envisioned the duck being minced like chicken larb, but it was chopped into chunky pieces instead. It had the traditional larb flavors, but the addition of the dark flavors from the moist and tender duck put it over the top! This was the highlight of our meal at Ler Ros Thai. The other dishes fell flat.  😦
