Old Skool Cafe
We had a delightful dinner last Friday at the Old Skool Cafe in Bayview, directly opposite Radio Africa on Third St. This is a very special place and doing some really special things -- and the food is darn good.
We had:
Abu’s West African Peanut Butter Stew. Delicious coconut milk and peanut chicken dish from Sierra Leone. Recipe was developed by Abu, a young refugee from the Sierra Leone horror, who is one of the friendly and competent staff of very young people.
Shrimp and Grits. Great cheesy grits with fine large and spicy shrimp. Shrimp and grits come in many styles and this is an excellent one, though I prefer a bit more saucy version (as at Galatoire’s in Baton Rouge).
Blackened Catfish, tasty dish with couscous.
Great Sweet Potato Pie.
Dishes run around $10 and are smallish so you can sample several. Liquor license on its way. If you are nice they might give you a glass of wine in the meanwhile.
Nice ambience and music. Excellent, friendly, enthusiastic service from young twenties youth who are learning as they go, but already very well trained. Open Thurs-Sat. Website: http://www.oldskoolcafe.org
So, if I don’t say more, this is a restaurant worth returning to. But it is also a very special place, giving young people, who have been dealt the really short end of the stick, a chance to get started in the San Francisco food scene and a chance at employment that will (as Old Skool says it) provide solid alternatives to a life of crime and poverty.
The Third Street Muni stops right in front as does the #24 Divisidero/Castro/Noe Valley bus.
Mission Bowling Club Burger [split thread]
Tried the hamburger last night. It was really extraordinary. Makes MBC a destination place just for that. Easily the best in SF. Amazing what one can do with such a basic item by taking great care with ingredients, accoutrements, and technique. The grinding, patty making is what does it. Wow! Is the word.
Local Chinook Salmon in San Francisco (for the 2012 season)?
It was available at the Ferry Bldg Market on Saturday -- very fresh and wonderful to cook. Should be there next week also -- the fish stand on the north side of the aisle running east from Gandhi.
Can you buy less than a whole fish off the boats at Pillar Pt?
So, Wise Sons Deli is open ... who's been? Beauty's Bagels? [San Francisco]
Lunch today, had the smoked Steelhead on a bialy open faced with cream cheese and it was marvelous. Have had their pastrami at other times and it is the only decent pastrami around here. In fact it is the only pastrami in the Bay Area that a New Yorker would recognize as such. As good as the Carnegie which I used to frequent well after 3 AM as a graduate student. (The Carnegie then closed at 3:45 and opened at 5:15AM.) Pickles are just like the Carnegie's.
I talked with one of the owners and he says they are so busy that they can't yet cope with opening for dinner. But he understood that late night is the time for pastrami and they seem to be working toward evening hours. They make all their stuff in house, including fish, pickles, pastrami.
Amazing that a place that was closed for Passover allows for a slice of Swiss cheese on a pastrami sandwich and serves Reubens. Guess when in Rome, need to accommodate local tastes.
Mission Bowling Club Burger [split thread]
Wasn't in the mood for a burger last night but was very impressed with the blackened sturgeon (replaced the salmon on the menu) with a potato latke, salmon roe, creme fraiche. Very nicely done. The Jerk Pork Shoulder sandwich was also quite good, and the Thai Beef Jerky was spicy and excellent as a snack/starter. The profiterole, caramel and strawberry dessert (replacing the Tiramisu on the menu) was unfortunate. Saw lots of the big burgers and will try one next time.

Vietnam House Chowdown Report [San Francisco]
Thanks to Pane and Windy for organizing. We will definitely come back to this place as there were several dishes that got my attention. It was sometimes difficult to be quite sure what one was eating as there were numerous dishes and the the Vietnamese names all seemed to run together. So, I hope I have the right dishes in my comments that follow:
Winners:
The star of the evening, and one motivator for the Chowdown was
4. Banh Khot crisp rice flour cupcakes with shrimp served with mixed greens
We ordered a second round. This is a surprising and sophisticated dish with a coconut undertone. As with much Vietnamese food one wraps the little cups in lettuce adding basil,mint, etc. At the end, I cheated and just put a little basil and mint on top and was even more impressed.
Mostly we were ordering dishes not seen elsewhere, but went for the papaya salad nonetheless. It was really outstanding, quite sweet, complex, and not very spicy. Really quite tame compared to the killer Laotian versions. Much less, if any, shrimp paste. I like both versions. This is far more accessible.
6. Goi Du Du Kho Bo shredded green papaya served with dried beef, basil, & special sauce dressing
A definitely will-have-again-dish:
8. Banh Cuon Cha Lua rice flour rolls filled with ground pork, wood ear mushroom, served with vietnamese ham, bean sprouts, mints, & dipping sauce
Easy to like and a favorite:
40. Bun Cha Ha Noi grilled pork & skewered pork mix with dipping sauce. served w/ mix vegetables
Best soup:
28. Bun Bo Hue spicy noodle soup served with chili & lemongrass.
Complex flavors, very interesting.
Losers:
OK, but with all those other delicious items, the chicken was, for me, forgettable:
22. Com Ga Xao Xa Ot chicken caramelized in garlic, lemongrass, & chili served with steamed rice
1. Goi Cuon shrimp, pork, mint & lettuce soft roll
Meh...
16. Com Thit Nuong, Bi, Cha grilled pork, shredded seasoned pork, egg meat pie served with broken rice
32. Banh Canh Cua thick noodle soup with crab meat, shrimp, boiled pork
We had two soups. This one did not do it for me although I anticipated it would when I saw its nice reddish color. Just no depth.
Vietnam House Chowdown Report [San Francisco]
Nice Chowdown at Vietnam House tonight. Here is what I believe we ordered. Descriptions are from the menu at

Anyone ever tried Stinky Tofu?
I once had to eat a whole durian on the steps of a hotel in Sumatra because they wouldn't let me in with the durian.
Anyone ever tried Stinky Tofu?
I hate to admit it, but when in Taipei in fall, we tried stinky tofu and hated it. We eat virtually everything. I even like (love) durian, ate many things at the night markets, but stinky tofu just didn't cut it for me. Perhaps, the Spices version is milder??, Robert, but I have no inclination to try it. It was nothing like Epoisse in Taipei. I guess you've got to be from Taiwan or nearby to like the stinky tofu you get in Taiwan, and then you can't live without it!
Cooking Papa (Foster City)
Intoxicated on Sichuan peppercorns at Little Sichuan in San Mateo Saturday night, I left my Amex card on the table when I left... Since we needed to go out to San Mateo to retrieve the card, I was looking for something new and good nearby and saw this thread. Thanks KK (again -- your posts were essential in Taipei last fall!).
Really fine barbecue (we did the Peking Duck which was very fresh and good) and excellent shrimp wonton soup. The broth was outstanding -- reminded me of the Taiwan night market soups. Also enjoyed the great variety of rice rolls. We had the mushroom to go with the duck.
That was enough for 2 of us, And we will be back,
New posts aren't marked anymore
I am also seeing this problem - and I have logged out and back. For long threads that I have just visited, all posts are open. This makes following Chowhound really difficult. It is an extremely serious problem.
I am also seeing lots of flakiness in links. For example, it took me 3 tries to get this reply dialog. The first several times it gave me my profile rather than the reply box!
I am running Mac OSX 10.7 latest release and latest release of Safari -- well the latest until today, but now I see a new Safari upgrade. I will try that and report back only if it fixes this problem
EDIT: New Safari does not fix problem. For example, this thread, which I just posted to and had read, opened with all posts visible.
What should i order at mission chinese food? [San Francisco]
Moving to the big time:
http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/13/mission-chinese-food-is-coming-to-new-york/?hp
Let's see if NYTimes love can make this over-rated place popular in NYC.
"Restaurants" Database To Be Eliminated
Yes. Make it better, don't eliminate it!
The present address provider is not adding much value as it only incrementally updates. I suspect that terminating this provider involves not renewing a contract and this is driving the short time fuse.
It would be much better to design a new approach before terminating this one. If the provider contract is the issue, I can't see why one couldn't extract user provided addresses and eliminate the provider addresses while rebuilding the system. This has been suggested several times on this thread.
This is clearly an important functionality and it could certainly be improved. As I suggested at a user focus group, allowing for .vcf downloads of address and other information into address books would be extremely useful.
What seems particularly unique in the present system are the (semi-)automatic links in comments so one knows what place is being talked about. This could be maintained after a redesign with, perhaps, a google integration plus user provided information.
Langkawi Malaysian in San Mateo - RIP???
Yes, have been to Shiok. "Pretty good" is the operative description. We will go back, but the dishes did not have the same feel of authenticity (e.g. lots of shrimp paste where appropriate) that one had at Langkawi. I guess you need more customers for whom these tastes are native for a restaurant to survive. To get my shrimp paste kicks, we will have to head the long way out to Rose Garden Lao in San Pablo for their papaya salad, etc.
Keep us posted on TW Bistro -- maybe they will have oyster pancakes...

Langkawi Malaysian in San Mateo - RIP???
We were headed toward Langkawi Malaysian in San Mateo tonight and tried to call ahead. Phone is out of service. Web site redirects to GoDaddy.
Can anyone confirm whether this wonderfully authentic place, which was probably the best Malaysian in the Bay Area, is now defunct or not?

Lazy Bear res for January?
Yes. It was good, but not the most successful dish of the night.
No, they were not making fun of their customers and they are far from being taken with themselves. I think David was just having a little fun.
Lazy Bear res for January?
Canteen is great. Lazy Bear is unique. We have been 4 or 5 times over the last 2 years. It is a tasting menu something like Manresa or Coi that often reaches that level, but is far more daring and surprising. The last meal started with no silverware and Jackson Pollack like plates of pureed smoked beets of various colors -- which you were to lick off the plate.
Get on the mailing list and respond when a dinner opens up. They say they give priority to new guests. I am sure if you tell them your story you will get an invite to buy a ticket.
Beijing/Northern Chinese in Sunset
Beijing does the same dish with a similar name (Chili Delight in English, I think). My Pleco iPhone app (really worth it with OCR) came up with something like Extreme Spice for the translation of Old Mandarin's Chinese description.
Beijing's version is hot, but not at the extreme of Old Mandarin. They serve it with a simple pancake to wrap it up like moo shu or Peking duck. I really like the Beijing version and thought that the Old Mandarin version was essentially almost pure chopped Thai chiles. I like extremely spicy, but even with a beef pancake, I thought it was too much and lacking in other flavors.
Both versions seem as if they could be authentic Beijing food. Is it possible that they just reflect two variations? Or is one more typical of what you would get in Beijing? Can an expert who has been to Beijing recently weigh in on this question? It has been bothering my curiosity for the last 2 weeks since we were at Old Mandarin.
And I prefer Beijing's Cumin Lamb also. It is one of the best around.
Taipei area: Shi Yang Shan Fang (食養山房) or Da Shan Wu Jia (大山無價)
Easy to catch any local train heading N from Taipei Main Station to Xike 汐科火車站. There are plenty of taxis there and they know how to get to Shi Yang (if you show them the name and address in Chinese). Walk to the N end of the (weird) station platform. The restaurant will ask you about reserving a cab to get back. Taxi costs around US$8.
Where to buy a couple dozen live dungeoness crabs?
Pillar Point Harbor, Princeton by the Sea near Half Moon Bay. Call (650) 726-8724 to hear what the boats are bringing in.
Taipei Recommendations - 2011
Yes, I forgot to mention the mountain wild veggies at the little places along the main street of Wulai. They are wonderful. Huge variety that those in the know could select from. Restaurant lady picked out a nice mix for us.
The small coffin cake we tasted in Anping (at Anping Gui Ji Local Cuisine Cultural Restaurant on Yanping St, if my memory is right) was seafood oriented, and might have had chicken parts in it.
I was wondering what the name 圓環 stood for. I don't know my greens well enough to tell you what they were using. Don't think I saw chrysanthemum garlands, but I will look at some of my pictures and see if there is enough detail to blow up. If there is, I will post one and you can try to identify. [Edit: nothing clear enough to blow up. Looks like cut greens, almost like a lettuce, rather than a cabbage.]
The chicken at Hao Da Da Ji Pai is certainly large and worth the experience. I have a photo on my site of a stall at the Huāyuán Yèshì (night market) in Tainan which seemed to be doing something similar. We were too full to try it, but it looked like it might be spicy and really good. Looks like they were using a grill in addition to a frier?? Maybe it was pork and not chicken?
And yes, I did add their chili sauce at Ay Chung - which really worked well.

Taipei Recommendations - 2011
Thanks to KK and Hong Kong Foodie and others for great advice on Taiwan food. This was incredibly helpful for our recent 2 weeks in Taiwan, mostly Taipei and Tainan. Following is summary of places we visited and a link to a site with lots of photos from the trip, mostly foodie oriented, many of places on this thread.
In addition to Chowhound, extremely useful was an iPad, Google Maps, AT&T's (somewhat more reasonably priced than they used to be) roaming cellular plan. And most of all the incredible Pleco Chinese language app with the $15 OCR plugin that allows you to use an iPhone/iPad camera to image a menu or sign. With the characters recognized you can use its dictionary to get a translation. Pleco and Google Translate and a little practice made it possible for us non-Chinese speakers to function. The iPad app, MotionX GPS, is also a gem as it allows you to pre-download OpenGPS and Bing (not Google yet) maps that can be used without paying extortion for roaming cellular service.
Taiwan was friendly, comfortable, and not expensive (restaurant prices are about 1/2 San Francisco at the same level). Food is extremely important to the culture here. It brings in visitors from two other foodie capitals, Singapore and Hong Kong. This is not surprising after you see two of the registered National Treasures at the Palace Museum, the jade carving of a cabbage and a stone that is cut to look exactly like a small piece of braised pork belly.

Taipei:
First the night markets, certainly a good reason by themselves to go to Taipei:
Shi Lin Night Market(士林夜市) (photos) sprawls over many streets as well as a crowded inside market just across the street from the JIantan MRT stop. Oyster pancakes place is inside (photo) and is very good. Also has stinky tofu, which I tried and that was enough… The smell advertises for a ways around and is unforgettable.
The following were outside, a few blocks away:
Ay Chung Rice Flour Noodle 阿宗麵線 (photo)
Legendary seafood flavor broth and noodles. Seemed similar to Tainan's famous tan tsai noodles to my uninformed noodle palate.
Hao Da Da Ji Pai (豪大大雞排) (photos) has huge flat fried chicken paillards. This is an essential stop. They also have a stand on the front row of the inside market. Long lines much of the time.
Ningxia Road Night Market 寧夏夜市 (photos) is much smaller, all outside, with a very crowded and narrow center aisle:
Yuan(?) Oyster Omelettes (Yuán Huán Biān 圓環邊蚵仔煎) (photos) in a storefront on the W side toward the N entrance. One of the best dishes of the trip was the oyster omelette here. When you watch the chef it seems like everything is being thrown in (oysters, greens, egg, flour batter) and the mess is covered with a tomato colored sauce. It is delicious and perfectly balanced.
There was a tiny stand (photo) where a young woman was desperately trying to keep up with the longest line (photo) we saw anywhere for the apparently very fashionable taro balls, available with a duck egg yolk in the center and pork fluff. It was good, but I didn't quite get what was driving the long line.
It seems that anywhere in Taipei there is a restaurant within 20 yards. Here are the ones we tried, mostly from discussions on this list. First the Xiao Long Bao (AKA soup dumplings, Shanghai dumplings) specialists:
Hangzhou Pork Steamed Buns 杭州小籠湯包 (photo)
Near Chiang Kai Shek memorial. Excellent XLB and other dumplings. Wonderful sweet pumpkin dumpling cake.
Sheng Garden (?) Loofah Pork Steamed Buns 盛園絲瓜小籠湯包
Around the corner from Hangzhou Rd. Loofah squash XLBs excellent as were the crab XLB and the pan fried dumplings and beef roll. Actually we slightly preferred this over nearby Hangzhou Pork Steamed Buns, but both excellent..
Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐) (photo)
Mother of all Xiao Long Bao places with excellent XLB, even more excellent truffle XLB 松露小籠包. This brought a Proustian moment, memories of Paul Bocuse's truffle soup near Lyon a jillion years ago. Phenomenal! Also excellent were crab roe XLBs and a wonton in spicy sauce recommended by one of the extremely professional, friendly, English speaking waiters. The beef soup was also superb and this is a great place to try this speciality of Taipei, if you can't make it to the others KK et al have recommended. We first went to the original Xin Yi Rd branch, in a narrow building with many floors. There was a very strong request from the SO to go back for more truffle XLB. We found the single floor Zhongxiao location equally good, but a bit tricky to find as it is on a parallel lane a small block off the main Ave. Google maps on an iPad with AT&T roaming cell really helped find this. In both cases we went outside of peak dining hours and had little or no wait.
Jogoya 上閤屋日本料理
Enormous Japanese influenced buffet with seafood of many varieties. A big feed and a good deal (we spent something like $80 for 2 at the most expensive time). There are several seatings. If you come too late for one window, you may need to wait a couple of hours for the next. So it is better to check on timings. Multiple locations. We went to the Nanjing Rd place on the 4th floor of the Momo store.
Kiki
Popular and somewhat hip. Interesting dishes perhaps Sichuan influenced, but nothing memorable. Perhaps I didn't order well. Several locations. We went to the Nanjing Rd place.
1010 Hunan Pop Cuisine (1010 新湘菜)
Surprisingly excellent.
Wonderful "Pork rib with chile and fennel (sic, actually cumin) spices".
Even more wonderful "Sauteed smoked pork with preserved bean". Now I understand how Hunan food can be so good.
"Steam egg with clam". This is a custard with a few manila clams. Somewhat of a texture play, but not much flavor.
"Fried shrimp skewer". Looks wonderful but a huge plate of ~17 skewers would have been too much for us two.
We went to the place near the 101 Building on one of the top floors of the Eslite Store.
Xiao Wei (小魏川菜餐廳)
Right near the main train station, this was a convenient rainy night place (near the Sheraton) after returning from Tainan. Sichuan, popular with expats and locals, listed in the Rough Guide. Old style restaurant with acceptable but not spectacular Sichuan dishes, not as good as Spices II in San Francisco or Little Sichuan in San Mateo.
We made a few day trips:
Shi-Yang Culture Restaurant 食養山房 is a famous place (reserve well in advance), a Taiwan take on kaiseki in the forested hills north of Taipei. Take the train to Xike 汐科 Station and then a taxi. An interesting experience with good and creative dishes, beautifully presented, worth the journey and the extremely reasonable price for something of this standard (~$80 for 2). The experience was not as zen as I was anticipating. We were in a cave like room with no view of the beautiful surroundings and next to a noisy party of (ahem!) ladies in the next cave. So this did not live up to memories of a great ryokan in Kyoto. Dishes were described as:
"Hand made peanut tofu"
"Steamed egg"
"Assorted hand rolls and [memorable] home brewed [fruit based] vinegar"
"Salami ([talian!] Hand Roll" Salami around wild mushroom rice.
"Lotus stew of chicken and assorted wild mushrooms and veggies". Beautiful broth, a fine chicken.
Jiufen is very touristy and somewhat interesting, fine tea and views (photo), lots of sweets. About an hour by train and bus N of Taipei. Our visit was thoroughly dampened by pouring rain. While waiting for the train back in the evening, we wandered around rainy Ruifang.
Most interesting was the night market (photos) near the Ruifang train station (2 blocks S of where the bus stops). There are stalls on the street leading to what looks to American eyes like it is going to be a supermarket, but is actually an indoor night market. It was fun to watch many ladies arrive on motor scooters, dressed full length for the rain, then come in to shop for their family's dinner, helmet still on. (photos) On the street, there was even a scooter drive-in tofu stall (photo). At the entrance to the inside market is an excellent stall selling tandoor cooked hu jiao bao (pepper bun) 胡椒餅 (photo).
Overnight trip to Wulai, easy to reach by bus from the end of the MRT line. Stayed at Fullmoon Spa 明月溫泉, in a room with a hot spring bath with a view, great after a long hike in pouring rain. Forgettable dinner/breakfast included. Interesting aboriginal influenced food on the main drag. Delicious fried local river shrimp and little fishes. Also wild boar. Nothing much over a US$ like the night markets.
Tainan far in the south of Taiwan (via most efficient high speed railroad):
Hua Yuan Night Market (Huāyuán Yèshì 花園夜市)
An incredible large outdoor market on Thursdays (and Saturday, I think). Extremely well organized, large aisles. Huge variety of stalls. (photos). Most memorable: candied fruit skewers with superbly ripe strawberries. Also coffin cake (棺材板; guāncáibǎn), a dish apparently invented when US troops were in the neighborhood accompanied by US bread. A fried thick white bread, cut in the shape of an open coffin, with what looks like some school cafeteria cream of turkey, but is really seafood and delicious. Also, a chef carefully making large perfectly spherical seafood balls (photo). I believe this comes from Japan, but I don't know the name. Amazing technique and quite tasty.
Other Tainan restaurants we visited:
Chou's Shrimp Rolls 周氏蝦卷 half way out to Anping, the shrimp rolls are fried and bad for you, but irresistible - and worth the voyage (from SFO).
Another place, 陳家蚵捲 (Chen Oyster Rolls), out in Anping itself also has good shrimp rolls, but their speciality are great oyster rolls. It is at the NE corner of Anping Rd and Gubao Rd
Tu Hsiao Yeh (度小月) is the National Treasure slack season soodles (tan tsai noodles, 擔仔麵) place. The more visited and atmospheric location (photo) is on Zhongzheng Rd. We first went to a more typical Tainan open front location next to Chihkan Tower. The broth and noodles at both places were first class, but I think the shrimp and oyster rolls and the whole night market scene in Tainan are even more worthy national treasures.
JJ-W Hotel 佳佳西市場文化旅店 in Tainan is a conveniently located small designer boutique hotel with fine local breakfasts and comfortable 5* rooms at very reasonable prices. One of the best places we have stayed anywhere in a long time.
help me plan my tartine strategy
No, I doubt they will slice it for you. One wouldn't want to do that to a Tartine loaf.
Also, nowadays they only accept 3 day advance reservations for bread.You can't call the same day or the day before.
where to eat returning from Point Reyes?
Coast Cafe, Bolinas. Use Google or a GPS to locate as Bolinas is legendary for having no sign on Route 1. Call (415) 868-2298 to check their hours. Usually open after 5 and at lunch, not Mondays.
