Clam Chowder at Boudin Bakery @ San Francisco, USA

Boudin is the place which I missed trying when I were in San Francisco previously. This time around, I have chance to taste their famous clam chowder. It taste great and full of ingredient. The sourdough bowl remains crispy on the outside and remain the same shape during eating. The sourdough bread compliments the clam chowder very well and you can taste the clam goodness on each scoop. Boudin is a tourist attraction by itself in Fisherman's Wharf as there are demonstration window which allow visitor to see how their sourdough made. If you really like sourdough, do stop by at Boudin to get the original taste of San Francisco sourdough bread.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The clam chowder were delicious and enough of ingredients. You can get full by just having the clam chowder without eating the outside sourdough bread bowl. The salmon salad bread is good as well).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Order the combo clam chowder and the salmon salad bread if you want to get a good deal. The combo meal is around USD9.90).

Grand Lux Cafe @ Magnificent mile, Chicago

Grand Lux Cafe is a subsidiary of the Cheesecake Factory. The interior design is just like Cheese Cake factory restaurant. They have this weird system where they call you upstairs with a pager, then make you wait in a crowded hallway until your name is called. They have nice table overlooking Michigan Avenue. The fresh bread was good, hot sourdough. I heard their dessert is great as well but I don't have chance to order more as I already tummy full after having the steak.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The Salisbury chopped steak is good and well done. Taste good and moist. The wine recommended by the waitress is great as well. I get what I want. Sweet wine).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The Salisbury chopped steak price at USD15.95 and a glass of Moscato at USD8.95).


Waiting for my turn. This restaurant is fully occupied. I am so hungry. Unfortunately, I have to wait.
