THE ALL AMERICAN ROAD TRIP!! PT 2

A continuation...
Burma Super Star - SF (4/5)

This was actually my favorite restaurant of the week! This was my first time every trying any Burmese food, (to be honest, if you asked me to locate Burma on a map- I don't think I'd know where it is...) Anyway, a friend of mine was recommended it, so we went there for lunch one rainy morning. When we Yelped! it, we got a lot of warnings that it was going to be a super bustling place, because it was so popular, but when we got there - we didn't even have to wait for a table. But the place WAS packed to the brim. Literally there were like 2 feet in between each table and it was a great atmosphere. The service was quick and friendly, and everyone seemed to be breaking happy bread together.






We ordered the 'Samusa Soup', which is supposedly the most "popular" and "best" thing in the house. It was a vegetarian soup that had a mixture different veggies, predominantly it tasted like tomato soup, with a lot of other things mixed it, but one thing that I noticed that stood out, was they had this bready-texture THING inside which made the soup, the SOUP. Haha, overall the flavor was great and it tasted awesome and I would go back to try it again. We also ordered the Pumpkin Pork Stew - Tender pork stew slow cooked with kabocha squash and ginger- and it was the BEST. I've never eaten pumpkin cooked before, and it tastes a lot like squash... I suppose they are the same thing? But it tasted so awesome! We also ordered the Beef Kebat - Stir fried beef with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and mint leaves. They say it's spicey, but it wasn't at all.

BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE CO. (SF) - (3.5/5)



Supposedly my friend said this is one of the two best coffees to try in SF? I stumbled upon it by accident one rainy morning, while RUNNING ERRANDS FOR A FRIEND, and was greeted with a nice surprise. I ordered the New Orleans Iced Coffee because I was curious as to what that tasted like. It was iced coffee with a dash of mocha on the top. It was good, strong coffee and tasty. Way better than the burnt crap that Starbucks always serves. The price was a little high, I think it was $3.50 for this cup- that's not really normal for a cup of iced coffee- so this can be a once in a lifetime sort of deal.
