Crunchy fish tacos in Temescal

La calaca taco, in a small strip mall wedged between the 24, telegraph ave, and 51st, has some of the best fish tacos I've had. What's great is that you can order them crispy especial, and that means, inside shell is deep fried, and the taco is smothered in guacamole. Also they have habenero salsa. That's a winner in my eyes already!

San Francisco's first Chamorro restaurant and Joie's bday



My oldest sister requested that her friends and us to have dinner at Prubechu in the city for her birthday. It's the city's first Guamanian restaurant. And at around $40 you get a 7 course meal. While it may be hard to fork up that much $$ for food your grandma makes for free, I say do it! Because this is not food your grandma makes! Dishes are presented beautifully and flavors are thoughtfully combined, each dish meant to take you back to the island but also be delighted in the new way you are eating it. Place was tiny and naturally we pretty much filled the whole restaurant.

Just turned 29

I just turned 29 and of course naturally I have a lot of thoughts. What I've done. What I still need to get done. My current place of being. What the future bring me. And reminding myself that everything will be alight! Anyway. Lotsa good food moments and even bad ones today. Just like life I must take the good with the bad. Bad included a strange fish taco I had with apples in it. Strange huh? It was. But the highlight was drinks and food at 1760. That's thier addreSs 1760 Polk, St San Francisco CA. Me and my very specific cravings, I knew for months that I wanted sea urchin with fresh pasta on my birthday. And that's what I got! Uni Bucatini. Sounds strange but it's not. When sea urchin is fresh, there is no metallic of fishy taste. It was served with a cream sauce and topped with Panko crumbs. Bucatini is probably one the most fun pasta shapes out there. Long like spaghetti but hollow like a macaroni.  I am definitely thankful for the many drinks and food I received today.
