Brenda

Brenda Soul Food is the very first place we ate in SF this time!

Lucky us, the line wasn’t line. The restaurant is trying to expand so right now it looks small and tight. But this restaurant is located at trendy part of S.F.

We didn’t order too much food cuz we got a of places we need to try out this weekend!!!

Overall the food is good but not cheap!

I like the crawfish…

That Takes The Cake

After Brenda we went to a little cupcake place that Robert said it’s GOOD! 2 cupcakes for $5.50… price is very similar to Sprinkles. I took a bit of the mint chocolate cupcake. Sorry Rob. This place isn’t good~ Just typical cupcake stores~

Le Boulangerie & Paulette Macarons

Thanks to Rob. I was able to get some macarons while I was in SF. He did a search and found two most popular macarons place in SF. First one is Le Boulangerie. Very cute little bakery. The macarons looks so huge and tasty!! Price is right too!!! Bought 4 pieces to try it out~~~

Next we head to Paulette. Paulette only sells Macarons. More trendy small store comparing to Le Boulangerie. We do have Paulette place in LA too, but never had a chance to try it out~

Just by looking at all the macarons from two different places, I gotta say Le Boulangerie looks better and bigger. After tasting it both Marvas and I agree that Paulette is much better. To Rob. macarons isn’t his thing..hahaha But we both agree that macarons from Paulette isn’t the best ones we ever had. The best one we had is at downtown LA “Bottega Louie”…

Blue Bottle Coffee

I am not a big coffee fan, but Marvas is. She can drink so many cups of coffee. It’s so funny, she was telling me that each morning she needs few cups of coffee or else she will have headache. She drinks more coffee than milk. Well, blue bottle coffee is one of the most popular coffee place in SF. Oh my god, this coffee stand is located in a garage. The store front is not facing a street, instead it’s facing a little alley. Who cares about where this place is located, cuz there is a line!!!! Marvas ordered a coffee for me... errr I gotta say it’s so strong!!!!! I don’t like it at all the whole cup taste like COFFEE!!! GROSS~ But all their 1/2lb bag coffee beans smells so freaking good!!!!

Swan

I gotta say this is one place I really really wanna try out this time in SF. I heard so much about this place!!! And yes, on a Friday afternoon, there is a line waiting to be seated. Can’t believe it, everywhere we went there is a long line for it! Well, u know where there is a line for food, that place must taste good!

We didn’t order too much food cuz we are going to Suppenkuche German Restaurant for dinner pretty soon. I only ordered Clam Chowder soup & half dozen oysters. The clam chowder here is very soupy unlike the one you tried anywhere else thick and creamy. The clam inside my soup was very fresh. Overall I didn’t really like there clam chowder. Oysters, oysters, oysters… 3 big ones and 3 little ones… they are different types of oysters… I forgot their names but who cares cuz they are taste really crazy good! It was so cold and juice I wish I can order another dozen or more… Alrite, off we go… next is the Suppenkuche

Suppenkuche German Restaurant

Robert said this place is very famous for their boot size drinks! Yes, boot size drinks!!! I don’t drink but I am so glad everyone else in my group is… Marvas ordered a 0.3 liter size beer, Hung, Ryan, & Ray all ordered 0.5 liter, Robert ordered 1 liter beer, and Sarah & Jeff ordered 2 liter beer. I was able to take photos of the beers in different sizes. Oh, I forgot myself… I ordered a coke~

This little restaurant is so crowded, I am so glad Rob made reservation in advance! Even with reservation we waited for another 30-45 mins. But the wait is worth it!!!! Everyone had a wonderful time drinking there beer, eating German food and chatting. Whenever I think about German food I thought about PORK FEET, but nope they don’t serve Pork Feet here. Almost everyone ordered different dishes and I was able to take pix on most of the dishes. =P I gotta say, they all looks so good!!! Most of the dishes are PORK…I love pork. But due to my health condition, I am staying away from meat again. I only order potato pancake which Rob told me it’s very famous over here.

The food taste really good! The breaded pork chop that Rob. ordered taste better than Japanese Pokr katsu. Portion is just alrite I think I can easily finished it myself, but maybe cuz I love pork!

Amazingly Sarah finished her 2 liter boot beer drink way before Jeff!!! Appearly Sarah only weights 100lbs!!!!
