Meddling Since '93

3/18 11:50 AM: Shannon had been wanting to take me to San Tung for their acclaimed chicken wings. Other than their infamous wings, San Tung is known for its traditional Chinese cuisine. We didn't have to wait long for seats because we beat the rush. The wings we ordered were nothing short of delicious and savory. Their sweet and spicy sauce stuck to the crispy skin of the chicken, and the meat was incredibly tender. The beans we ordered were delicious as well. This meal was perfectly portioned for two, and it left Shannon and me satisfied. Bottom line, amazing wings. 

3/18 11:38 AM: Waiting on the N to get into the Sunset. 

3/7 3:10 PM: After Shannon’s Microbiology test we decided to go into the city and have some curry and onigiri. We both really love curry, so we decided to try Muracci’s Japanese Grill. Shannon ordered the chicken katsu with mild curry over white rice and I ordered the traditional pork cutlet katsu with medium curry over white rice. Shannon also ordered some onigiri from Onigilly. Alongside our larger meal, we had one ume (pickled plum) and one tarako (Pollock row) filled onigiri. The curry was very authentic and hearty, and the medium flavored curry had a perfect balance of spiciness and flavor. The pork katsu contrasted perfectly between the crispy breading and the tender meat. For curry lovers, I would definitely recommend having lunch at Murraci’s Japanese Grill. Beware, the restaurant itself is pretty tiny so it’d be wise to order your food to go and eat it somewhere more spacious. Overall, the meal tasted 100% authentic and brought back fond memories of when I used to live in Japan.

3/15 12:36 PM: Shannon testing out some bokeh. 

3/15 12:18 PM: Shannon and I decided to get some Beard Papa cream puffs for dessert. We enjoyed our pastries and the great weather in Yerba Buena. Although they didn't have anymore green tea flavored filling, the caramel and chocolate options didn't disappoint. 

3/15 11:30 AM: Super Duper for lunch downtown on Mission Street. I ordered a Super Burger with cheese, grilled onions, and jalapenos. Shannon ordered a mini burger with cheese and grilled onions. We shared a side of garlic fries and their homemade pickles. Their quality of their artisanal buns enhanced the taste in my opinion. And Shannon and I really enjoyed the juiciness and the tenderness of the medium cooked patties. The side of garlic fries were a good addition and the garlic wasn't overpowering. Their homemade pickles had a very interesting taste. It could be described as a very tangy zing of sweet and spicy vinegary flavor. I will definitely be coming back for another quality burger.
