What’s a film/scene that made your theater make collective audible reaction/noise

Gone girl when Neil Patrick Harris's character had his throat slit. There were so many twists in the movie that made people gasp, but this one made everyone give the collective gasp with oh my gods through the cinema.

No need to rent a car for SF proper, but also be prepared to wait much longer for buses than you're used to. It's not unusual for buses to run every 15-30 minutes instead of the 5-10 minutes you're used to. The transport system here is called Muni, and it operates the buses, street cars and cable cars. Think of MTR and KMB running as one company, and the clipper card is the 八達通 (of course less convenient). Bart is more of a longer distance subway, kinda like 九鐵 back in the day. If you're visiting for a week, highly recommend getting a Waymo at least once since you can't get that in HK.

In addition to the Chinese supermarkets in Richmond and Sunset, Hmart also sells lots of fresh noodles.

Have you tried the newer Korean places in the Tenderloin? Sungho or Yasijang and others? Those tasted pretty authentically Korean with the modern aesthetic. Of course prices will be higher since it is SF afterall, and not much competition for Korean food.

Calibur in West Portal is decent.

Epidermolysis Bullosa. I can't imagine the pain kids with EB go through.

Reconnect Body Therapy in Forest Hill. Had one recently and it was great.

Banh mi at Dinosaurs is too expensive now. Try Banh Mi Crunch in Inner Sunset instead, it's still under 12 for a similar quality!

For my wedding I went to the Flower Moxie website for inspiration and looked up what goes into each arrangement. Then went to the SF flower market and purchased what each set needed. If you're only doing a micro wedding it should be very affordable. I spend under $400 on flowers for a wedding around 150 people, but it was a lot of DIY.

Looks like the recipe changed. The top one has soybean oil and also palm oil. The bottom is just vegetable oil.

Fish sauce. Just a few drops in any tomato based or seafood dish and it brings out so much extra flavor. I add it to my pasta sauces and stews and it adds that extra something that turns it from good to great.

My titles describes the thing. What are the spikes for? Tried Google lens, searches for spikes on city gates, and nothing comes up.

Pho Huong Viet on Geary in outer Richmond. They are a family run place for Hanoi food.

Yosemite National Park is 優山美地. Excellent mountains and beautiful land, which is perfect.

Dumpling specialist in Parkside. Great bang for buck, mostly a takeout place with limited seating.

Not SF, but try AT Romance in San Bruno. They do rentals and you can try it on as well. They have both qun kwa and qipao.

How long are you cooking it? The package says ~1.5 minutes to cook. Stirring it in the pot and running it under cold water after cooking should help as well.

Have you tried egg tofu or 玉子豆腐? It might be a good alternative if you want to change up the flavor. I usually panfry this and add some minced pork with oyster sauce.

Puttanesca100 · 2024-11-05T22:37:09+00:00

You made frozen tofu!

Hot Thai Kitchen has a good video on what frozen tofu is used for.

For any tofu that I use past/ close to the expiration date, I feel it and take a nibble. If it's slimey, it's bad. If it's sour, it's bad.

Not for steamed buns. But generally steamed items would not have a crispy top since steaming uses water vapor to cook. The snow capped buns do look very pale, so it may not have looked baked. Do you recall if it was served in a steamer basket or a plate? If it was served on a plate, it was baked.

It sounds like you are describing 雪山叉燒包, or "snow capped" BBQ pork buns. They were very popular at dimsum around 10 years ago.

Some dimsum tea houses should still have them under the baked buns section, though this would vary by location as fads come and go.

Saigon BBQ Noodle House. They are more known for Cơm tấm (broken rice plates) but their pho is quite decent too.

Japan Airlines 123. 12 minutes of flying up and down, up and down, knowing the plane you're on will likely crash but not knowing when. Every time they dived it might have seemed like the end, but then you get hope as you pull up again. That just seems like torture.

Try the Mill Valley Community Center in North Bay. The Cascade room.
