San Fransisco- Asian Food

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! My computer was in for repairs. So here's a continuation of my mother's and my SF Adventures! Of course, we had the prerequisite of sushi, and steamed pork buns (aka bao).

My mom and I went to a restaurant called Morph. It's Asian Fusion, which I'm usually not a fan of. But these dishes were as delish as they were gorgeous.



This was a Tuna Salad. It's got two kinds of seared tuna, and onions and sprouts that have been covered in a lemon-ginger dressing.



This was my entree. Small, yes, but filling. It's miso-marinated Alaskan cod with sauted asparagus,carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Awesome!!

I would have taken a pic of my desert (Thai pancakes with strawberries and a green tea sauce) but I ate it too fast!!



Next to Chinatown! This is what's called Dim Sum. It's like Chinese tapas, Or Epicurean Russian Roulette. My mom and I looooove a good Dim Sum, but we're never quite sure what they're giving us. What happens is that kind Chinese people wheel around carts of food and ask you if you want whatever they're serving. Usually it's impossible to decipher exactly what the dish is. So you get it and hope it's not chicken feet. My mom and I are fortunate enough to understand what we want, as we've eaten so much Dim Sum. On these plates were: sesame seed balls, some sort of rice/chicken concoction, duck, Chinese-style shumai with shrimp, and tea. Yum!!!
