Finally went to Foreign Cinema on Sat night. Do you ever eat food that's so good it makes you, like, wriggle your shoulders in your seat? Mine was like that! Plus, I love how it's open, light and airy - being cramped or unable to see makes me feel less like eating.

Did you peek in at the restaurant, Saha?
― If the US had a dictator we'd call him coach (Michael White), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 19:42 (fourteen years ago) link
I had breakfast at the Saha when I stayed at the Carlton. It was terrible, but I doubt that says anything about the restaurant.
Props to the Carlton from me too. Only bad thing was that the wi-fi was extremely slow.

I haven't been to Saha in a while but it was a pretty cool place to get a decent Arab dinner cheapish before going to shows at the GAMH.

The only thing that ever really tempts me into Bi-Rite is their ham selection... I can find better seafood, beef, chicken elsewhere for less.... but their hammmmmmmmm ugh.

I had their soft-serve ice cream this weekend. It was ridiculous.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 11 June 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link
4 reals? i tried a sample and it was non-ridiculously equal to their other ice cream (NB: cold night, i'm not huge on ice cream). MWhite, do you know if the Bi-Rite will have ice cream (to compete with the new Humphrey Slocum outpost in Faletti/Dellesio)?
― _▂▅▇█▓▒░◕‿‿◕░▒▓█▇▅▂_ (Steve Shasta), Friday, 11 June 2010 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
4 reals. I love soft-serve though and it was the salted caramel flavor. I think a soup version of that might be great.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 11 June 2010 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah the salted caramel soft-serve is dope. the line of hipsters waiting for their scoops of honey lavender and ginger brown sugar while the soft-serve window is walk-right-up = pathetic and anti-summer imo

MWhite, do you know if the Bi-Rite will have ice cream (to compete with the new Humphrey Slocum outpost in Faletti/Dellesio)?
I don't. Other competition is 3 Twins on Fillmore.
Honey Lavender ice cream sounds awesome right now. My sister and I made some in the south of France one summer.

"while the soft-serve window is walk-right-up = pathetic and anti-summer imo"
Yeah it's crazy. The line is around the block when you can just get your soft-serve in seconds.

disgusting savages
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Friday, 11 June 2010 20:58 (thirteen years ago) link
not that I don't take M. White's point, but it's one thing to crave the honey lavender and another to just turn up your nose at soft serve.
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Friday, 11 June 2010 21:17 (thirteen years ago) link
I turn my nose up at waiting in line.
― If the US had a dictator we'd call him coach (Michael White), Friday, 11 June 2010 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Not really feeling the Humphrey Slocombe love. I like trying new flavours but the few I've tried haven't actually tasted that great, including something basic like apple sorbet. Haven't tried the coffee one though, and I should because I <3 coffee ice cream. They had a limoncello one that was awesome as well. But I'll go for Bi-Rite every time. (I have tubs of salted caramel and honey lavender in my freezer right now!)
Booked a meal at Range for my anniversary, anyone been?
― Not the real Village People, Friday, 11 June 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
well then stop by the soft serve window on Sunday for salted caramel
i have got to get there on a Tuesday for the spicy mexican chocolate...
and maybe tonight for balsamic strawberry

You can get pints of the regular non-soft-serve ice cream at the soft serve counter so if you are super craving Honey Lavender you're still good.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 11 June 2010 21:32 (thirteen years ago) link
I probably eat less than a pint of ice cream per year.
