I don't think so.

We've got Nijiya, Mitsuwa, Yaohan, and Pacific markets...

Oh and Marukai.... :)

we've got marukai also, and daiei - one of my favorite stores!

Back in college, my hakujin GF adored teriyaki nori.

After I graduated ahead of her and came back to the SF Bay, I would mail her care-packages with boxes of nori. She would eat the stuff like potato chips. :crazy: :hehe:

I wonder what her smile looked like with pieces of nori stuck in her teeth. :hehe:

My most exciting food find of the decade sounds like an oxymoron.

Hot and spicy Mayo.

Damn that stuff's good.

Oh, thanks... :mrgreen: it was all in Chinese characters, so I couldn't read it. I think it was actually something she bought in Taiwan....

I'm shocked... :shocked:

Just finished eating a $6.00 salmon teriyaki bento, that also came with tempura, that I picked up from the food court at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco, since I was in a hurry. Also, as it's Lent, the meal fit my Friday diet nicely. :woot:

Much to my surprise, the food was actually GOOD. :applaud: For only $6 and since it came from a shopping mall food court, I didn't expect quality. :bonk:

I highly recommend Brothers, in SF on Geary boulevard, around 5th avenue. It was recommended to me by some Koreans.

Back at work, having my usual turkey and lettuce with mayo on wheat... :sweat:
16 Mar 2005, 06:09 #1576
I didn't look through this whole thread, but the first 2 pages or so and the last few pages...
is there some places in this forum to trade/exchange/share recipes for Japanese (or other Asian) foods?
I didn't think to look through the 60+ pages in this "General Discussions" section. ^ ^()
So if anyone can tell me off of the hand, it'd be a lot of help! ^ ^()
Thanks!

Here's a bizarro food story that's true, because it happened at work today:

----------------------------------------------------------------
One of our software engineeers brought some leftover cake from his grandson's birthday party on Monday to share with us and people had been pecking at it over the past couple of days. Well, today one of our other engineers saw that the cake was stale and tossed the cake and its box into the dumpster.

Another one of our software engineers decided he needed a sugar fix and found out the cake got tossed, SO HE WENT OUT TO THE DUMPSTER TO GET A PIECE OF CAKE TO EAT. :bleh:

Un-freaking-believable. A couple of us sat there in awe and laughing as he ate this cake that was in the trash.

What was he thinking? I mean he didn't even do it secretly: he just went out to the dumpster and scooped up a piece of cake without a care in the world.

Just when you think you've seen everything... :shakehead: :crazy:
