Since my birthday this year was a biggie, we went to San Francisco. Yes, to hang out, shop, walk around, but mostly to eat at the House of Nanking!!!! It was totally worth it, as usual. I looked at the menu, but just for fun because it's more fun when you let the owner decide what you should have. We had too-die-for shrimp cakes and egg rolls, amazing sweet potato, eggplant and greens, plus melt-in-your-mouth fried calamari. The show-stopper for me is always the blossoming green tea that starts out as a ball and blossoms in to the most beautiful flower. Nanking never disappoints. If you find yourself in San Francisco - it's on the corner of Kearny and Jackson.
