| Breakfast: Clear Flour Bakery
|
|
| We had breakfast from Clear Flour
Bakery. I shared a quiche lorraine, a gruyere cheese croissant, and a
morning bun (with walnuts). I also had some potstickers picked up from a
nearby Chinese joint.
Sorry, I didn't bother to take pictures.

Sorry about the weird horizontal lines; my camera does that sometimes.
(Usually I notice and retake bad shots. This time I didn't notice.)

| Dinner in Chinatown: Taiwan Cafe
|
|
|

|
| Taiwan Cafe. We headed there after getting a recommendation from a worker
in a Chinese meat shop.
| Tofu with mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Spongy tofu, slightly sweet,
served cold. Refreshing. I definitely liked it.
The dipping
sauce at left was for the dumplings, not this dish.
| Spicy beef noodles with spinach. Supposedly a classic Taiwanese dish, a
staple of their diet. After eating it, I decided I could live in Taiwan.
That is, assuming I could avoid the layer of chile oil on top. If one
gets too much of it in one's spoon, it can be a spicy surprise. The
meat was fairly spicy on its own too.
| Crab soup dumplings. Thick skins. Some had more than a spoonful of
liquid. Di Yin says they weren't mixed well. I still say they're
better than and more full than most dumplings I've had in S.F.
We ate a number before I remembered to take a picture.
