Great San Francisco view from Dolores Park

Dolores Park is one of the famous park in San Francisco as it located at hilly side of Castro which offers great view of San Francisco city. This park is a recreational area for the near by residents as it is covered by lush green lawn shaded by tall palm trees, tennis courts, playground and club house. Besides that there are many events such as performances and carnivals held here. I love how there is different levels and how green it is. It is very well kept and and so peaceful. This is a good place for picnic as well.

Beautiful view of San Francisco from Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks offers great panoramic view of San Francisco and this is a famous spot for tourist who wanted to enjoy the view of the Bay Area. As San Francisco always covers in fog, many has suggested to visit this place later in the afternoon. Else you will be disappointed just to see the clouds with low visibility to view the Bay Area. Do take note that the parking space at the summit were quite limited as well during peak hours. There are telescopes for a few coins which allows you to view San Francisco from distance. It can get breezy so take a sweater up there.

Delicious breakfast of Taylor Street Coffee Shop @ San Francisco, USA

We had our breakfast at Taylor Street Coffee Shop due to near proximity from our hostel. The little coffee shop also gets quite crowded and a line forms outside the shop if you gets a bit late for breakfast. That's shows that this shop must be serving good breakfast. Coming to San Francisco without trying a good breakfast is something missing. The shop is quite small. Do come early for breakfast to beat the queue. We were lucky no need to queue as we reached here around 8.30am.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Do order their Millionaire's bacon as it is unique compared to other bacon that you had in USA. The bacon is thick and have slight tint of spiciness which makes the bacon sweet, spicy and tasty. The egg benedict with bacon and mushroom were a good combination as well).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. The price for our breakfast were reasonable by San Francisco standard as everything in San Francisco is expensive. Two person with the food shown below were less than USD40.00. The portion were big and we are able to skip our lunch by having the breakfast here).
