San Francisco Day 4: City Tour & Tommy's Joynt


Leisure last day in SF. Walked around the Japanese tea garden and saw these two neat displays outside de Young Museum before hopping back on the bus to Palace of Fine Arts and across the bridge again. Recommended by the tour guide, we went to Tommy's Joynt for dinner - as featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.


San Francisco Day 3: Biked the Bridge & Fisherman's Wharf

Another beautiful sunny day for biking! We joined a bike tour by Blazing Saddles, which began at the Fisherman's Wharf area, biking past signature colorful SF houses, the waterfront, Palace of Fine Arts, and finally across the Golden Gate Bridge to the small town of Sausaulito, where we then took the ferry back (total about 3 hours). It was so much fun and the highlight of my trip - highly recommended to rent a bike! The views were amazing - the waterfront is quite like Vancouver - and for someone who does not exercise regularly, it was definitely an accomplishment.

Souffles Cafe (San Francisco)

Souffles Cafe is a Chinese-run dessert place with a large selection of desserts and teas. All the souffle flavors were so appealing! Takes 30 mins to make souffle and you can call ahead to reserve (just found out after we arrived)

Coffee Souffle

The souffles are really big. Very strong coffee taste

Almond Souffle

Very nice almond flavor but just personally didn't like too many slivered almonds inside 'cause I
prefer just the soft/moistness.

R&G Lounge 嶺南小館 (San Francisco)

R&G Lounge is a Michelin nominated Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Super packed but food is good. 

 Delicious chicken soup!


Smooth silky steamed egg with clams


Their famous salt & pepper deep fried crab - it wasn't oily but I also didn't taste much salt or pepper.
