San Francisco: Souvla

8/5/2015

Dear Fork,

How have you been? It was so hot in San Francisco at 81 degree! #hot I have to admit I love it. I went to Souvla today for the first time. It's a beautiful greek restaurant with beautiful natural lighting, you know how I'm in love with this little thing. I also like how fast it was, almost certainly like a fast food restaurant, but a very healthy one.

The menu is very simple. It shows different type of meat you want (Pork, Chicken, Lamb, Veg) and you get to choose if you want them as a Sandwich or Salad. Then, there were small sections of Sides, Beverages and Frozen GREEK Yogurt. YES!!

Greek Fries

Greek Fries

I ordered at the register and grabbed the number to the table. Started off with a so-called appetizer, the Greek Fries. It's just like the regular fries but with some extra love of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and Mizithra cheese. Oh and Yeah, crispy fries. #TeamNoSoggyFries

Chicken Salad

Chicken Salad

Here comes my favorite dish! I loved their Salad. I went with their Chicken Salad. The chicken was so good. It's free range chicken, so tender and smooth, grilled to perfection. It features "granch" dressing, fennel, navel orange, pickled red onion, pea shoots, and Mizithra cheese. Look how beautiful it is. Fork, I was so happy with how delicious it was.

Lamb Sandwich

Lamb Sandwich

How about we try their lamb too? Lamb Sandwich was also amazing. It came as a pita bread wrapped around lamb leg, flavored with harissa spiked yogurt, cucumber, radish, pickled red onion and feta cheese. Deliciousness.

Fork, I had so much fun with you today exploring places. BUT, here comes my favorite part of the meal, though you weren't there. (sorry) It's dessert time!!! For such an amazing day like this, this Greek Frozen yogurt made my day. I went with the Olive oil with flaky sea salt as the topping. You must get this!!! They even have Baklava crumbles with syrup toppings! WOW...

Thanks for today.

Love,

Spoon.

San Francisco: Choux

4/24/2015

Dear Fork,

Sorry, I missed you today. I just want to let you know that I've found this new dessert spot in the city that has the cutest and most delicious looking pastry! I'm so excited to share this with you.

This place is called Choux (248 Fillmore St. San Francisco, CA 94117). It's a small little gem in the Lower Haight, offering the most beautiful looking bite-sized pastry, Choux Cream or French Cream Puffs.

I stumbled upon this place and realized they were just opened not long ago. I was so happy to have found them and got to talk to the beautiful, talented lady behind the counter who created these adorable gems. They are fresh made cream puffs with cute little designs.

I bought a box of 6-piece cream puffs. They are in different flavors. The crust is crunchy and thin, while the inside has light cream filling. They even have names for different flavors! Awwww. I got Smore's, Sophie (chocolate), Ben (salted caramel), Matcha green tea, Sunny (lemon curd, meringue) and Paul (vanilla custard). I have to say I loved the Matcha flavor best. 

#Chouxnut = best thing ever!

Not only those cuties. They also create a new invention called Chouxnut! It's Donut + Choux cream, = #Chouxnut aka the best combination ever created. Flavors change weekly, as for this week, I got their Strawberry chouxnut, which has this amazing light strawberry cream filling. OMG, I'm craving for it again as I'm writing to you. #itssofufflyimgonnadie HAHAHA

Look at the inside of this Chouxnut... WOW UHMAZING!
