Food ~ how I love thee

Here’s a series of food related outings that I went on.

Breakfast in SF. French toasted croissants. I wasn’t too impressed but it seems that I got the wrong dish.

We waited 1 hour to get a seat.

Le Cheval – Vietnamese restaurant in Oakland. A farewell dinner for a friend who has since gone on a year long trip all over the place. First stop is Latin America, I think.

Calamari too. But, omg. These are so. good. I rather liked the fish too.

Finally, my favourite bakery in SF. Tartine.

Hello Morning Bun! How I do love thee~ =P

Tasty Morsels #10 – Trattoria Corso

Tasty Morsels – Summer edition.

There was a new Italian restaurant that I had read about on Shattuck. Apparently, it’s owned by the owner of the rather pricey and very tasty (so I heard) Rivioli on Solano with the top chef coming from another tasty restaurant on College (Oliveto, I think). And so.. Tasty Morsels!!

Calamari with fried onions and lemons. I had no idea fried lemons could taste so good.

The sausage and chilli pizza I had. It really is pretty spicy.

Pasta that zm had.

All in all, I thought it was a rather nice restaurant. Pretty decor, excellent service (though the food took a while to come), just a tad too pricey for the average poor student (i.e. me).

Blue Bottle Coffee Cafe

It was a foggy Thursday morning when we embarked on a trip to SF for coffee.

Mocha! – Smooth, creamy but just a tad to coca-y for me. Slightly bitterish.

It has some awesome reviews online though.

Breakfast! – Thick toast from Acme with mocha. Yum.

I find this endlessly fascinating. Drip coffee?

This is like soo cool! The water filters to the coffee through a little tube thingy (kinda like one of those titration thingys) and then filters back down when you take it off the heat. We spent the longest time debating on how the heat gets to the flask. Convection? Radiation?

*sigh*

Geeks, we are.

Baking. The (almost) precise measurement of flour, the whirl of the mixer, the smell of fresh baked goods wafting through the house. A plate, cake and a slice of love.
