Food places and other cultural notes for the Bay Area for my visiting parents (who get tons of good Asian food where they come from):
- Rice roll express in SF Chinatown. Very good handmade cheung fan, pretty unique fillings (the special has egg and char siu and beef). My parents like this coz it’s not easy to get very high quality handmade cheung fan in Singapore
- we had Italian cakes and coffee at Stella Pastry in north beach. Sacrapanti is a delicious cake they specialize in and I really enjoy it
- They really enjoyed our visit to the Berkeley campus. They wanted me to go there when I was younger (lol) but it was just an abstract idea they had. They really liked Berkeley
- I showed them the other East bay cultural institution: Berkeley Bowl. They thought it was great but some things were worth it and some things were too expensive. I think so too!
- they were excited by Dungeness crab season and will get some today to make me a white pepper crab dish that I love
