Jessica's Bachelorette Part 1: Vietnamese at Bodega Bistro, SF.
The bachelorette crew road tripped up to SF from LA! I was excited to meet up with them and take them around a little! They wanted Vietnamese so I thought we'd try Bodega Bistro...
Vietnamese crepe. Yummy, but not the best Vietnamese crepe I've had.
Vermicelli noodle salad with pork and imperial rolls! This is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes. I could eat this every day! This once had great, flavorful pork and nice imperial rolls, BUT they didn't have enough imperial roll. Also, they only gave fish sauce with this. I decided to use the sauce from the Vietnamese crepe dish with this and it was lovely.
The service here was pretty slow, and the prices were a little bit high, but the dirty little secret here is to order off the lunch menu, always! It'll definitely bring down your cost. ;) I shared the above three meals with two girls. Paying for those + tax & tip was $13, and for SO much food!

Greasy Chinese Vietnamese at Tu Lan, SoMa, SF.

What we ordered:
#20. Mi Xao Don - Shrimp, Pork, Chicken
#39. Veg. & Crispy Noodle, Bo Luc Lac - Beef Cubes VN Style.
I didn't get a shot of the food because I didn't have my camera, but this place is a gem!! A gem, I say!!! Haha. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but I love it so.
#39. Oh my goodness!! It was AMAZING. I'm craving it right now as I write this. Haha. It's not really like shaking beef because it has this sauce, but the sauce is oh so good!

My take on Vietnamese imperial roll cold noodle salad.
This was really yummy! :) I'm going to make my own imperial rolls soon though and then remake this dish. Yay.

Big Eat SF 2010 Dinner Party Part 1

Here is what was on the menu:
- Papaya Salad ("Somtum") with Crab from Sai Jai Thai: Eh. This is a love or hate thing and I just feel indifferent toward it. It wasn't a big hit at the party either.
- Pho Ga Chicken Soup from Turtle Tower: Delicious. Best pho ever.
- Dry Fried Chicken Wings from San Tung: Yummy.
- Nick's Crispy Baja Fish Tacos from Underdogs: Yummy.
- Niman Ranch Cheeseburger with Special Sauce from Fish and Farm: Delicious. I didn't love the pickles, but other than that this burger rocked.
- Roast Pork Sandwich from Saigon Sandwich: Yummy. I don't think there's anything that makes Saigon Sandwich stand out other Vietnamese sandwiches though.
- Apple Fritters from Bob's Donuts and Pastry Shop: Delicious. Must have warm--makes all the difference.
- Ube Ice Cream from Mitchell's: Eh. I like Mitchell's texture, etc, but I don't know why this flavor is on the list. It just doesn't have any flavor!? I would take vanilla over this, and I don't like vanilla ice cream because it's usually too plain!
- Chips & Salsa from Papalote: Delicious. The salsa is really something else!

Quick Vietnamese sandwich break, Baguette Express, Tenderloin, SF.
After A Serious Man and The Hurt Locker we got an hour break. Of course, I was hungry, so went out and shared a sandwich. The steamed pork wasn't my favorite though--not flavorful enough for me. I love the bread they use here. I asked about it and they said they sell it for $0.50/baguette! I'll definitely take them up on that for some tasty sandwiches! :) Now back for An Education and then District 9!

Birthday dinner at The Slanted Door, Embarcadero, SF.
These were okay, I like making my own spring rolls so I can stuff them with more mint and cilantro, thus making them more flavorful.
This isn't on their online menu so it must be fairly new. It was DELICIOUS. I love love love oysters, and the sausage was wonderful, too.
This too was, DELICIOUS!! It was crisp and refreshing and tasted like a light Korean salad so there was definitely some nostalgia there, too. :)
Shaking beef!! Ahhh! Haha. This is on the 7x7 list that P and I are going through. It's the same as a Vietnamese dish P had back in Texas and has been trying to find up here. He said it's the best and closest to that dish that he's tried. I thought it was quite tasty, as well. :)
This isn't on the online menu as well. They were crispy and doughy and light. Yummy, but not something I'd crave.
P and I had been trying to go to The Slanted Door for some time now. We decided to book early and go for my birthday and it was perfect. The whole meal was incredible and I want to go back and try more! :) Space wise, the restaurant was a bit too crammed for my liking, but the service was great and I'm so glad the food lived up to the praises--yay!
