San Francisco - only one of us...

Sorry... with school, I just haven't had time to blog for a while. But now finals are done and play time begins...

Even with busy schedules, we still have to eat right???
I will try to keep my blog up to date - backdating might be necessary...


Right after our Vancouver trip, Christoff was off to San Francisco by himself. I would have gone, but didn't have vacation days. He was off to see Throbbing Gristle and take care of his California license. Don't ask me why he still has a California license.


Pupusa!!!! That's right. Pupusa is an El Salvadorian delight, handmade pancake made out of corn, is served with salsa and some veges. We don't seem to find this in New York, so this was his first stop.


Safeway... grocery stores are different in San Francisco. Products that they carry are different, it's a lot more spacious, and people who work there are nicer. Chris packed up his suitcase with Las Palmas and chorizo.

Chris bought this at a Japanese market. Yes, it looks really disgusting, but it was soooo good.
First I refused to eat it, but I finished the whole bag by myself.

San Francisco...

New York Times had an article about San Francisco -

I miss the sun & fresh produce!

More on food in San Francisco

We visited more restaurants, cafes, farmer's market (together or separately), but don't have pictures from all the places. So, I will just list them -


Osha Thai Noodle Cafe (Original)
696 Geary Street
415-673 2368
http://www.oshathai.com/
Apparently, Osha is expanding with multiple/fancy locations.
However, one on Geary was still nice to go back to.


Great Eastern Restaurant
649 Jackson Street
415 986 2500
We couldn't be in San Francisco without having Dimsum with Chu family.
We still think Dimsum is better in San Francisco than in New York.


UN Plaza Farmers' Market
Sundays: 7AM - 5PM
1182 Market Street (at 8th Street & Grove)
The above picture was taken at the market

Back in San Francisco, Pork Store again...

We were in San Francisco for a wedding.
Being back in San Francisco, we couldn't miss Pork Store. Especially with time difference, it wasn't that hard to get up early in the morning and get in line.

Here are pictures of everyone's dish.
I don't think I need to describe, except for the fact that real breakfast is a good thing...

Pork Store Cafe, San Francisco

Hungry after late night?
Pork Store can take care of that!
You will never find a place like this anywhere else in the world. So we made sure we had our breakfast here when we went back to San Francisco.

Make sure to be there early; otherwise, you will find yourself waiting in line forever!
But even if you find yourself waiting in line... it's always worth it!

Order Porkchop with egg and biscuit / OR BALT
