I had the beef rendang which was ok, though it was more like a curry than real beef rendang, which is suppose to have soaked up all the coconut milk and spices. What I really wanted though, and what I'm going back for is the chili crab.

I always order the duck here. And it's always 4.70 for a lunch meal. About as cheap as it gets. Seating is pretty limited so I always get it to go and eat it in the park a block away. The whole duck is great as well. A terrific design of nature. Enough fat on one bird to confit two legs, plus the carcass left over to make a sauce. It's a self contained dinner that even comes with its own cooking element.

p.s. the guy chopping up the birds has probably been working there for years but everytime I say "duck" he acts like it's the first time he's ever heard the word. If someone wants to fill me in on how to say "duck" in canto that'd be great.

Some of the best gnocchi I've ever had. The chef said the trick was to rice the potatoes hot then work in flour immediately. It's more readily absorbed that way. Pillowy and silken, served with a venison ragu.

I love this place. Everywhere I've lived, there's been a video store like this in my life. Right down to the organization of titles by directors. The fact that Taiwanese arthouse gets its rightful own place on the shelf...really won me over from the start.

It's a video store that makes me believe rental places of this kind will survive Netflix and digital distribution because of it's obscure collections and extremely knowledgeable film-loving employees.

pro-tip: only two bucks to rent on Wednesdays!

Tiny ice cream shop next to Upper Playground. They're open late but bring cash.

They usually have like a dozen flavors to choose from at any given time and it's random what flavors they'll serve up that day, but Lemon Cookie is what you want. Everything else is pretty standard fare that you can get elsewhere...but seeing lemon cookie...This is how people marooned in shark-infested waters feel when they see the helicopters coming to save them.

I was set to write a real hater review of this place because I'd locked my bike up and ordered a burrito only to wait in an alley for 30 minutes with my number because the line was so long...I even had my iphone out, ruminating on how I'd throw my daggers...

but when I got home and finally tore the tinfoil off, it was bliss. Pure Mouthhole™ bliss.

I knocked off a star because their burritos are more expensive than the surroundings (I live in the mission, the going rate is like 6 bucks for a super burrito) but nonetheless I'll be back...and next time I won't wait till 8:30 at night to try and get dinner.
