I was referred to this Vietnamese restaurant by a friend.

When I walked in the resturant I felt that everyone was there to enjoy the food with no bad vibes. Its important to go to a place where you are welcomed by the staff but also by the customers. With that the wait staff took their time to help out the customers with good energy.

Turtle Tower is lite on the wallet and provides fresh quality food.

Turtle Tower is known for their signature pho ga (chicken noodle soup): a soup with made of chicken broth, fat rice noodels, green onions, strips of chicken, and onion. Lemon and green peppers are served on the side.

You might ask what is Pho?
Pho is a bones marrow/ beef flavor broth fthat is boiled for a few hours. Tripe, beef brisket, tendons, pig's feet, rice noddles or vermiceli or egg noddles is served in pho.
Some places use bean sprouts, jalepenos, mint, basil, with lime or lemon as a side to be placed in your pho based on your liking. Plum or hosin sause and Saracha(a hot sause) is optional pending own you taste.

They have variuous types of sakes, beers and soju coctails. The recommended drink there is the First Love: soju, mango juice & pineapple juice / Mango Passion: blended mango, soju, triple sec & passion fruit juice.

Free, fast wifi in the city?!

After not having internet at my pad for almost five months now, I've decided to go on a hunt this summer for all the free, fast wifi spots in San Francisco and its neighboring cities (particularly late night near the Sunset, but we all know that's not happenin'). I'm tired of Quickly and its slowass connection!

Stay tuned for an updated list! In the meantime, here are some spots to hit up:

Green Tea Ice Cream

After trying various brands of Green Tea Ice Creams: Double Rainbow, Mitchelle's, MaggieMud, Polly Anna's, Dryers, and Maeda En.

As far as soy Green Tea @ MaggieMudd's the creaminess is not there, you can taste the soy more than the Green Tea.

The regular green tea @ Double Rainbow, Mitchelle's, Maggie Mudd, Poly Anna, and Dryers is creamy but on the sweet side where it takes away from the green tea.

The favored Green Tea Ice Cream brand seems to be maeda en the creaminess is not overpowering where it takes a few times to swallow and the sweetness does not overpower the taste of the tea. There seems to be a balance of tea, creaminess, and sweetness. unfortunately , this brand is hard to come by. It does take effort to find this brand.

I have found maeda en at Genki Crepes (Clement St Btwn 3 rd and 4th ave), Nijiya Market(Webster & Post).

*eat some ice cream...hahhaha

People have always asked us for recommendations on where to go to eat on specific types of food. Since we always telling our friends where to eat, me and a colleague are going to use this blog to rate restaurants, cafes, dessert, grocery stores, etc. and suggest places on where to get good eats.

We will rate the restaurants by the cost, service, atmosphere, freshness, taste, and affordability.
Maybe even parking.....

We may post recipes for those folks that might want to impress your friends, and family.
