Carnegie Deli Cheesecake

Our friend went to New York recently and brought us back and cheesecake from Carnegie Deli. We decided to host a dinner and cheesecake tasting.

We bought a Zanze’s frozen cheesecake from Mollie Stone’s (since Zanze’s is only open Tues thru Sat) to taste alongside the Carnegie Deli’s Cheesecake.

I wouldn’t say there was a clear winner as everyone liked each cheesecake for different reasons. Zanze’s is very light with very little graham but also very filling. The Carnegie Deli’s cheesecake was really dense and creamy and had a really thick crust.

I had heard Pearl’s serves a great Kobe beef burger so on this beautiful San Francisco evening, a group of us went and ordered burgers and fries to go, walked to Union Square and enjoyed dinner on the steps.

Kobe beef burger with bacon.

Chili cheese fries.

The burger wasn’t as good as I thought it would be but it was nice to sit outside in Union Square enjoying a meal with good friends. I think next time though, we’ll eat in and maybe try a buffalo burger. The bread was just a little soggy after being in the takeout box.

Alex & Jacky’s Wedding in Half Moon Bay

Leave a reply

It was a busy day yesterday full of moving and today we attended my cousin Alex’s wedding in Half Moon Bay.

In the morning, we had some noodles at Hai Ky Mi Gia with our friends and new neighbors. I ordered the chicken noodles and it had tons of chicken, almost too much. Their broth is really good.

We also went to this great coffee place, they have the best iced coffee.

Just to share some photos from the wedding. Unfortunately, it was really cold there so we had to keep our coats on the whole time but they still had a beautiful wedding.

We left right after cake as we were exhausted after moving all day on Saturday.

Namu Restaurant

I had a craving for a burger so went looking on Yelp for a place around our neighborhood. Ron and I ended up going for dinner at Namu Restaurant since they had an available Opentable reservation.

From what I could tell, the restaurant had about 10 tables and a small bar. They were just finishing up happy hour so the place was a bit empty but I think this made the service extra attentive.

We were served a complimentary appetizer of bean sprouts, zucchini, and kimchi. Only the kimchi had a strong flavor, the bean sprouts and zucchini were a bit bland, light seasoned with sesame oil and/or blanched.

Next we had the shiitake mushroom dumpling in dashi broth. Very flavorful but a small portion. The broth was probably the best part.

Short rib tacos served on top of nori. It was a bit hard to eat, more like a salad since the nori got too soft to actually pick up and eat with. Maybe if they actually toasted it, it wouldn’t have been so soggy… but who knows… tasted good though but wasn’t really a taco.

The finale, a niman ranch beef burger. I liked the condiments of daikon and sprouts. It satisfied my craving for the night.
