San Francisco adventure

Yesterday was San Francisco day 2, and it was "awesome" ( you have to imagine the american accent there ) !
I slept like a baby for 12 hours straight and woke up starving, good thing the first thing we did was head to a diner for a big american breakfast. I had the corned beef hash with two fried eggs and a pancake on the side ( because why not ), and everything was absolutely delicious, the pancake was the fluffiest that I've ever had, the hash was salty, crispy and moist and the eggs were cooked to perfection, all in all an incredible breakfast !








Then we headed to chinatown and looked around the markets, I loved all the fruit and vegetables they had, but I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the dried fish and bird claws, but to each their own. We weren't really hungry after that breakfast, but in the middle of the afternoon we stopped for some tea and ended up trying bubble tea. I didn't really know what I was putting in my rose black tea, but I wasn't a fan of the texture or sickly sweet taste that I ended up with. 














Finally we headed uptown for some nice healthy salad. I had the detox and loved all the textures and flavors that changed with every bite. Plus I tried a passion fruit matte drink...delicious ! It was a lovely dinner with a very nice atmosphere.

California dreamin'

     My family road trip across California has officially started ! The four of us took a plane from Paris to San francisco yesterday and we've already experienced amazing food. 
I have always wanted to go to California for all it's innovative food trends, and general relaxed way of life.
I know whoever's reading this might not care about what I eat but if you're in the area you might want to try some places out, and I just wanted to write down everything so I'd remember it later on.

So it all started with a breakfast at the airport : bacon, mushrooms, cheese, omelette and crepes.


Then there were the meals on the plane, I love long flights, watching movie after movie while eating snacks...heaven !


We had to queue for about 2 hours at customs but they handed out cookies, there you go, my very first american cookie ! Delicious.


I had a look inside the ever so famous cheesecake factory, unfortunately there was too much of a queue, but I'll be back !


We decided to go wonder around the city for a bit to avoid falling asleep, I think we walked around for 1 to 2 hours but I just couldn't take it anymore I was so tired, so I just pointed at the first restaurant I saw hoping it would be decent, boy am I glad I was too tired to go any further, that was the best burger I've ever had ! I chose the avocado cheese burger that they cooked on the grill, and then they let you add all the toppings you want, plus all the vegetables were fresh and delicious !!



SO GOOD !



So that was it, we walked back to the hotel and I just fell asleep instantly and slept for 12 hours straight, it felt great ! 
So far, so good.
