In my daily posterous email today, one of the people I subscribe to had posted a picture of what she made for lunch (http://piggie.posterous.com/lazy-saturday-15). Ramen noodles with sunny side up egg on top (and spam that she did not have available at that time). I had spam, egg and Ramen and I made the same dish and indeed it was delicious !
I had a great lunch at lime tree southeast asian cuisine restaurant today (http://www.limetreesf.com).
The place is very small and very easy to miss. The door is below a set of stairs and the restaurant is basically in a basement, but the food is very good. Every Saturday and Sunday, they have a crab special. We had the Singaporean Chili Crab, the Malaysia Laksa, singaporean curry noodles, Fried Rice (yeah.. very un-original) and Fried Corn Fritters.
Had great company for lunch - Deepti, Elia and Cristina. Deepti was treating me for lunch for a belated birthday treat! Thanks Deepti !
After lunch, we walked to Golden Gate Park, where SF Opera was performing for free.

This past Saturday, I was invited to Jay and Aruna's place in Hayward for a traditional Mauritian dinner. Aruna's mom, well as Pravin's mom and dad were visiting and they had decided to cook the traditional '7 carris' (7 dishes) as we call it in Mauritius with Puri. We usually serve these dishes for weddings or for religious ceremonies. We even had the fake banana leaves to eat it on. In the past it used to be real banana leaves, but with them getting scarce, now even in Mauritius they use the artificial leaves. But we had more than 7 dishes I think (we usually don't count the starch and the side accompaniments). Here are the dishes they cooked.
Rougaille - the red stuff, typical mauritian tomato dish
Sousou - the light green stuff, stewed chayotte
Songes - the black stuff, stewed leaves of taro
Cari Bari - Split peas fritters in curry
Dal
Giraumon - yellow stuff, pumpkin dish
achard Piments - Picked green chillies and apples
Takar - Tamarin Relish
Gros Pois - Lima Beans curry
Puri - Puffed deep fried bread

Recently, street food/food carts have become very trendy in San Francisco. They pop up in random parts of town serving anything from thai curry, to creme brulee passing through bel puri. They all have twitter accounts and tweet the the place where they are gonna be a couple of hours or so before they show up at the secret locations with an avid crowd of followers craving for these foods. Friday evening, they had a street food event in the mission where a few of these street carts showed up. They had the magic curry cart which serves thai red or green curry, the sexy soup lady which serves of course soup, the bacon chips guy (delicious fried bacon in home made potato fries), the bel puri man and other sweet goodies carts. here are some pics from the event.
Here are some of the food carts twitter accounts in case you are interested in following them.

Yesterday night, we had planned to do a bonfire at Ocean Beach, but Gilles went at 7:00p.m (still daylight) and told us that all the fire pits were already taken and nobody would share theirs. So we had to change plans. We (Deepti, Tamar and I) decided to eat on Clement St. We were driving by and saw the sign for Grand Opening of a new Burmese place on Clement - Pagan Restaurant. We decided to try it. It was worth it. Decor was very nice, food was very good, even though Service was not the best ! We had the Burmese Curry Chicken Noddle with Split Peas, Eggplants with dried shrimps, Fish Curry and Roti Patala and Chicken Gravy as appetizer. Here are some pics of the dishes we ordered...
