I took a wonderful tour of Chinatown. We ate flat fortune cookies at the bakery where they were invented.
For lunch, we had dim sum. It was included in the price of the tour. It's great to eat in Chinatown with a guide to explain everything and teach us some ordering tricks and chinese etiquette. For example, if you lift the lid of the tea pot, it means "please add some more". (Click on each photo to identify each dish)
I came back to Chinatown later that day for an afternoon break at Empress of China. The restaurant is like a time capsule, kitsch but classy at the same time. It's a great deal, everything is 30% off during happy hour.
I had some peking pot stickers and a Mai Tai - $14.50 with tip
Caught a baseball game at the AT & T stadium and ate some overpriced yet delicious hot dogs and nachos, as well as a coupe of beers. The Giants lost. But junk food tastes so much better in a sports arena.
"Giant" hot dogs and a beer - $19
Nachos and a beer - $15
Money spent on food today: $48.50
