Side of Peruvian style rice topped with sliced tomatoes, red onions and chopped cilantro.
Limon Rotisserie, San Francisco
I’m not sure what’s in this rice that makes it Peruvian, but it tasted pretty good. It wasn’t as tomato-y as Mexican rice I guess, and they must use different spices.
Strawberry lemonade. $2.50
Served with fava, mint, strawberry, aged balsamic, and garnished with wildflowers. $40 for 4-course dinner.
Reform Club @ Specchio, San Francisco
We went to this weekly pop-up held at Specchio Restaurant in the Mission. It was $40 for four courses with a $25 drink supplement, and the menu changes every week! Overall, I enjoyed the meal partly because we were there as part of a great food club. This albacore crudo was SO good! It was such a small portion though, and this seemed to be a theme throughout the courses. I must say that I was still hungry afterward. But back to the albacore, hehe. It looked beautiful (loved the wildflowers) and all the flavors worked great together. Would’ve never thought that fava, mint, strawberries and balsamic would taste that amazing together!

Who doesn’t enjoy light, sweet cream puffs? I certainly enjoyed these but let’s compare them to Beard Papa puffs. I like Beard Papa’s choux pastry better because it has a firmer texture that doesn’t get as soggy from the cream filling. I like Pacific Puffs’ chocolate cream better because it’s smoother, Beard Papa’s chocolate cream is always a little grainy. Pacific Puffs also has more flvaors. But overall, I’m gonna say that Beard Papa takes it overall for texture and flavor. BUT, the boys working Pacific Puffs make it worth it to go there too, lol!A co-worker informed me of Liliha Bakery cream puffs in Honolulu which are supposed to be AMAZING! Will have to try them next time I’m in Hawaii!
