I forgot to share my own meals:
Last year, because of kids being young, we mostly ate at hole-in-the-walls and Asian eateries where bringing kids are the norm. Some were specialists and served up perfectly delicious dishes, though not necessarily memorable. A few were ‘I am still dreaming about them’ memorable. We had a chance to sneak in a few high end meals during a trip.
SFBA Wonderful:
Yum Bistro’s Crab shrimp fish garlic steamed glutinous rice. All that crabby greatness steamed into the rice.
Kumino’s fried wonton and that memorable dipping sauce and chicken karaage. Though the wonton dipping sauce hasn’t reached the same height after my first time having it.
Other Wonderful:
Hong Kong- Ming Court’s drunken har gau. My best hargau ever- the subtle huadiao aroma interplayed with the bright sweetness of the shrimp to create this unforgetting little morsel of heaven.
Hong Kong- Tasting Court’s Wild Clam Scalded with Sake. Similar effect from a different alcohol and a different shellfish.
