Food places and other cultural notes for the Bay Area for my visiting parents (who get tons of good Asian food where they come from):
- Rice roll express in SF Chinatown. Very good handmade cheung fan, pretty unique fillings (the special has egg and char siu and beef). My parents like this coz it’s not easy to get very high quality handmade cheung fan in Singapore
- we had Italian cakes and coffee at Stella Pastry in north beach. Sacrapanti is a delicious cake they specialize in and I really enjoy it
- They really enjoyed our visit to the Berkeley campus. They wanted me to go there when I was younger (lol) but it was just an abstract idea they had. They really liked Berkeley
- I showed them the other East bay cultural institution: Berkeley Bowl. They thought it was great but some things were worth it and some things were too expensive. I think so too!
- they were excited by Dungeness crab season and will get some today to make me a white pepper crab dish that I love
@skinnylatte Making me homesick. Berkeley Bowl might be a little pricey on some things but it's one of the only global quality food markets in the country.
We used to find the best prices on Dungeness crab on Clement. There were a few places in a row. I'm looking now and it says Taiwan restaurant is permanently closed so my SF pass is obviously 20 years revoked.
@EricBono oh yeah seafood center in Richmond is still great.
Taiwan restaurant just closed but there are way more Taiwanese spots in Milpitas
@skinnylatte Thanks. Sounds great. There's been entire major demographic shifts since I left. I'll have to do my research next time I can visit.
@EricBono Fremont, milipitas, Millbrae is where I go for great Chinese food
SF still has some faves but by and large great regional Chinese food especially from newer Chinese immigrant groups is all out there. Lemme know when you’re back and I can write a list
@skinnylatte Amazing. Thank you!
