Home made corn tortillas, horchata, great mole and chile rellenos in SF?
Is there such a place in the City, not looking for anything fancy just a great place to eat. Horchata should be fresh not commercial.
Lunch for a group of 10-12 in SF
I'm looking for options as we have a group that eats out 2x a week. Are only requirement is the location has to have ample free parking (we typically lunch for over 2 hours). Are budget is about $12 per person (tip included) and having beers on tap is a bonus for some.
Beef Cheeks, where to buy in the City?
Looking for a place to purchase cheeks in the City and how much per pound.

Cannot miss in Ft.Lauderdale?
Coming in with the family from San Francisco for an overnight stay at the Hilton Marina before we head off to a cruise.
I do not have a car but would not mind taking a cab to enjoy some unique dining experiences, does not have to be fancy, could be street food. We are adventurous eaters who prefer to eat where the locals dine.
Thank you for your recommendations in advance.

My son's birthday today and would like to to take him a place where we all can enjoy good Italian food.
Good Family Style Dinner at Chef Hung's in SF Chinatown

Where to for dim sum in Millbrae?
thank you KK, I live in the City and I just need a little change in the dim sum "line-up" and does not hurt to get a little sunshine as well. Based on your experiences, would 11am on a weekday be considered early?
Where to for dim sum in Millbrae?

Lahore: not on the menu must try?
Has anybody had items that are not listed on the menu?
Great America Outing today
We decided on Chinjin last night and we had a great time. We ordered the boiled dumplings, hamburger (essentially the same filling as the boiled dumplings but pan fried), sesame bread (great to eat my kids used the bread to soak up the hamburger juices, lamb pot ( very large clay pot filled with cellophane noodles, lamb, chinese cabbage, and tofu) If you enjoy lamb with it's natural gaminess, the broth is excellent. Apparently this can be ordered with sour cabbage, we opted for the regular because were not accustomed to sour cabbage (saurkraut). The cold sesame noodles, the kids did not enjoy the tahini taste but my wife and I enjoed the taste and texture of the cucumber, bean sprouts and the noodles ( never had these noodles before and thoroughly enjoyed them). Lastly, the beef tendon noodles (50/50 tendon and meat). This dish was a disappointment because we are accustomed to having the beef and tendons tender and this was not, the broth was excellent and the noodles were the same as the cold noodles (waiter did ask if wanted thin or thick). Overall a good experience, if we go again we would not order the sesame bread (too big and filling), or the beef noodle soup and if the kids are present the cold noodles. The bill came with 10% off.
Thanks you hounds for the recs.
Great America Outing today
Any recs. for dinner after a day at the amusement park? I'll be coming down from San Francisco and my family and I are very adventourous eaters, maybe some Indian.
Lahore: not on the menu must try?
Are there items that people enjoy that are not on the menu? I would love to try the goat and I need to call in advance, but I always end of going there on a spur of the moment.
Portland for 5 days?
Taking the family to Portland from San Francisco, all adventurous eaters, any place or places that I must try? The farmers market @PSU sounds really appetizing. Staying in downtown with a car.

Roasted Goose near San Miguel brewery?

Desserts in Hong Kong/Kowloon? ginger milk custard etc

Desserts in Hong Kong/Kowloon? ginger milk custard etc
I am trying to locate some desserts shops that offer milk custards, sesame paste/peanut butter dumplings I do remember a place in Mong Kok along Lady's Street and another in Central that served the above mentioned desserts.
Roasted Goose near San Miguel brewery?
I am going to Hong Kong at the end of the month and need help recollecting a roast goose restaurant that was adjacent to the San Miguel Brewery? This was about 20 years ago and maybe the place does not exist. I was a about 18 at the time and a relative drove us and the goose place seemed to be pretty isolated, but I can attest eating that goose was truly a memorable experience. The restaurant's interior was nothing to rave about and it was truly all about the goose.
My son and I are heading over in a couple of weeks and would like for him to experience eating roast goose and maybe somebody can tell if this place still exist, if s,o the address or other's can chime in on the fav. goose places.
Thank you
Shanghai Food in Hong Kong?

Tuna at S.F. Costco?
yimster, on the packaging there is a date that I assume is when the fish was packaged, is that erroneous?
Tuna at S.F. Costco?
I really enjoy eating tuna sashmi and realized that Costco in S.F has them available occasionally. Has anybody purchased the fresh tuna and ate it raw?
I would purchase but not too sure how to pick the "right" slab, any tips on selecting and prepping for sashimi.
Cuban in Fort Lauderdale?
I'm coming in next week and leaving for a cruise and will be staying at the Spring Hill Suites Marriott in Dania Beach.
Are there any cuban restaurants that I should check-out or is there a place that's a must try? I only will be able to have breakfast or lunch.
Thank you
Best countertop surfaces
Stainless hands down if you do not mind a somewhat industrial look (I chose white cabinets and bamboo flooring (the natural color not the burnt look) to soften the look): Extremely affordable, integrated sink with drainboard, impervious to heat, acids etc. Number of edging options (bullnose ect.) Someone commented that stainless is ridiculous because of the water marks and denting: who cares if you have water marks, this is a kitchen made to be used. Denting only occurs if you the stainless is not properly installed onto the 7/8 marine grade plywood backer board.
Saveur 100 likes the mooncakes at.......
I would give Mee Mee Bakery on Stockton between Broadway and Vallejo as my choice for mooncakes. There skin is very thin and they have a lot of different choices for fillings!
