Yank Sing, 49 Stevenson, 415-541-4949, is a place Colette and I have liked before around the Moscone Convention Center, and so, before I had to do a second symposium there, we ate at this branch with another local friend. It’s a bizarre combo of hi-tech decor, hi-flying clientele with down-home deem sum aka dim sum.
Three of us had a fine meal going from beans to duck and shrimp to pork dumplings.
With some beer and no hot drinks our bill, with tax and tip was $135.00
Perbacco, 230 California, 415-955-0663, again at Colette’s insistence, this time for dinner, when the menu is somewhat changed and the crowd incredibly louder.
Colette started with the best dish of the day – the herb agnolotti stuffed with roast rabbit and “dressed” with truffled sugo d’arrosto – just great! I had to suffer through a thoroughly delicious house-cured local anchovy dish dressed with green sauce, appropriately tart celery heart wisps and two tiny firm egg yolks – an clever idea that was 80% successful.
She then had local strawberries with onion, arugula, ricotta and balsamic – the straws being truly not-mass-produced cardboard-tasting but really good and I had tagliatelle with a 5-hour pork and porcini sugo, a dish not unlike a good Bolognese; very different tasting.
With a bottle of our favorite Marciaferro, one grappa and no dessert or coffee our total after tax and tip was $104.70.
