10th April
We had only one day to visit the city before we left for Monterey. The weather was wet and cold but that didn't dampen our joy at being in SF, HUb, my daughter and I, just like two years ago when we were together in Amsterdam, Delft and Rome. There is an advantage to being the first born. You were there when your parents were young (and energetic), and when you are an adult, they are at their youngest compared to how they will be with your younger siblings when your siblings are adults. I hope that makes sense.
Of course we ended up in a restaurant in Chinatown. It was that or John's Grill, or some other chain restaurants. I didn't do my homework and didn't have a wanted list of restaurants. CY came to join us, and she would only eat Chinese, so off we went to a large dim sum restaurant.
My roomies and I used to have Singapore fried noodles and beef ho fun delivered to our apartment on frozen nights in Canada and I miss those dishes but this plate of Singapore fried noodles was so bad it spoilt the whole meal for me.
Dim sum in the US is about USD2.50 and up per basket, inexpensive compared to many Asian cities especially since the portion is big.
