Boudin Sourdough Bakery & Cafe - Fisherman's Wharf - San Francisco, CA

San Francisco is a beautiful city with lots to see and do.

 

And that includes a stop at Fisherman's Wharf Pier 39, where we took the cruise to Alcatraz and to see the Golden Gate bridge up close.
 

 

It was a fun ride and offered up-close views but if you are looking to gain knowledge, information or have a relaxing ride, this was not that.

 

 

After the boat ride, I was hungry and cold so we went to Boudin Sourdough Bakery & Café where I had a Bread Bowl of Clam Chowder. It was packed but service moved quickly and we were luckily able to find a seat.

 

The Chowder was good (the right consistency and salt content) and the bread was fresh and soft. It was satisfying enough and warmed me right up!

Good Mong Kok Bakery & New Golden Daisy - Chinatown - San Francisco, CA

 

As one of the best Chinatowns in America, one of my goals during my visit to this beautiful city was to make a stop for some dim sum and Chinese food. For that, I first headed to Good Mong Kok Bakery.

 

It may have been a bit early in the morning, but I chowed down on some dumplings, Shumai and more (for very cheap by the way) and experienced some of the best I have ever had.

 

I followed up with the Noodles (which were thin compared to what I am used to) which were so good and so much better than what I am used to and interestingly enough were very simple to taste so good.

 

I also had to get a Sweet Sesame Ball which thankfully wasn't super greasy and tasted great.

 

At the recommendation from someone else in line, we went next door to New Golden Daisy to try out the Chicken Wings. They may be as good as the person suggested, but they were cold and cold chicken just is not that good so I didn't exactly enjoy them.

 

We paired the wings with Fried Rice which was more enjoyable, at least me for.

 

Out of the two places, I liked Good Mong Kok Bakery better.

Colonial Donuts - Uptown - Oakland, CA

While driving by and seeing so many people going in and out, I knew it had to be good.

 

It was a cold night and I went in trying to get a Hot Chocolate (which was exceptional by the way) and left with a few doughnuts as well.

 

The doughnuts were fresh even though it was late at night and quite impressive and standout for simple glazed.
