What I Ate: February 12, 2009 (Paulette, South Beach Cafe, 4-5-6 Restaurant)

With my vehicle fixed (the fuel pump had died), I headed back up to San Francisco for work today. Papa brought in a box of macarons from Paulette (437 Hayes St., San Francisco, CA 94102 - (415) 864-2400) which we cut up and shared. They were good, but I didn't think they were worth $1.70 each.

For lunch, I met with a couple of the guys from Foodoro at South Beach Cafe (800 Embarcadero St, San Francisco, CA‎ - (415) 974-1115‎) and ordered an Antonio Pizza (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and prosciutto).

At dinner, Tina felt like having Won Ton Soup, so I looked on Yelp to see if there some a local Chinese restaurant where people liked the won ton soup. I ended up with 4-5-6 Restaurant (2362 Pruneridge Ave, Santa Clara, CA‎ - (408) 985-8456‎) where I had eaten years before when I lived a couple blocks away. We ended up ordering the Wor Won Ton Soup (the photo is after they served us two bowls of soup with two won tons each already).

Stir-Fried String Beans

Potstickers

I liked the Wor Won Ton Soup and would order that again. The other dishes were okay, but the rice was not good. A little hard, bland, and not the kind of rice I like eating with my Chinese food. It sucks when something so fundamental as rice decreases the enjoyment of a meal.
