The line is actually long - 45 minutes from the back door and then you go inside, order from the cashier and wait for the table, basically adding 10 -15 minutes Was it worth it? Not really, people are raving too much about it and honestly it was just a "meh" Egg's Benedict Classic - It was good but I prefer actually the mission beach cafe's egg's benedict The french toast sampler - it didn't really taste good, feels like they added all bunch of fruits and egg on a bread, and expect prolly to make it tasty with a maple syrup (and actually they were nice enough to give us a home-made jam) Service-wise, they were really nice though. So really it's a 4 for food and 4.5 for service and 3.0 for the super long wait which I think

Tried the Pine Nuts Yellow Croaker (whole Fish) interesting as it was kinda crunchy/crispy so I liked it It was with Sweet and source sauce Bokchoy Sprouts with Bean curd The bean curd was cut like some noodles. Food was slightly bland but good. Shanghai Thick Chow Mien This was very "Chinese" for me.. with thick and very filling kind of noodle. Not my thing though but it was good.

Didn't had all the the stuff e.g Smoke Ham and Gruyere Morning Bun that I want but still had the two things I was planning to buy Everything Croissant Was interesting with the flaky croissant and poppy seeds The cream cheese (not sure but tasted like goat cheese) Ginger Pull-apart Flaky and Good Tad Sweet but not too sweet enough Didn't really get that hint of ginger though Remaining pastries at 1.30 PM Sunday but still a lot. Ginger Pull Apart Coffee (Latte) is good too! Everything Croissant!

Dumpling Time (San Francisco, SOMA)

Just wonder how long is the wait for normal time. Tried their KING DUM - was really hard to sip the dumpling but was good.  The only issue is that the skin was obviously thicker than normal so not my type though it was good for instagram.  I like it like Din Tai Fung - soft and thin skin that makes it easy to eat. Ordered Pork Gyoza - Yummmmy and a little spicy Ordered Seared Pork Buns - Love it Overall - I think this place is good but a bit pricy (just very San Francisco).  I think it's worth trying this out.

OMG! Tried 3 things today Beef Heart Tartare (16) Not really much on this and can't taste from other Tartar but this tasted slighly blander which is actually I prefer. Pig Skin Puttanesca (16) The actual Noodle was Pig Skin - but it actually tasted more like the Chinese Cold Dish - Jelly Fish - same texture and taste.   "Ham"burger with Foie Gras (15 + 20 dollars additional for Foie Gras) Really Liked This!!!! "Ham" because it is not BEEF patty but rather made of Brined Ground Pork. For the drink City of Rose (13) pretty much like Rose with some vermouth. Not sweet, kinda a bit bland though slightly refreshing What to try Next? Impossible Burger (only for Lu
