Koi Palace
We were staying in San Bruno and looking for awesome Chinese food. My co-worker Allisa suggested Koi Palace in Daly City. Most of the time I eat Chinese food at hole in the wall type places.
Hong Kong Lounge
When I visit San Francisco I try to visit Hong Kong Lounge or sister restaurant Lai Hong Lounge. This trip I opted for Hong Kong Lounge. I was happy to find free street parking a few blocks away. I try my favorite dishes.

Golden Island
1st visit right before the lockdown: I noticed a under new management sign outside. Inside the place looked the same. Not many people inside for lunch. Seems like Chinese restaurants have been fairly quiet lately. I had my favorite dishes.
Lai Hong Lounge
In dreams I imagine the little flecks of sugar on top of a beautiful yellow bun. I slowly take in the fresh baked aroma with the slightest hint of char sui. I take a bite and savor the flavors and textures swirling in my mouth. This is one of my favorite dreams till I awake […]
