Ferry Building Marketplace

Food options in San Francisco are endless. It was great fun exploring markets and infamous pier items like clam chowder served in sourdough bread. And of course, it is a must to explore stroll the streets of the Mission and Chinatown for authentic Mexican/Chinese dishes.

Restaurants range from cheap and affordable to high range. Yank Sing certainly fits into the latter category. Six 小笼包 (xiao long bao – soup dumplings) cost a hefty $14…The food was certainly good and I assume most customers have a love/hate relationship with this place: so good but so expensive.

Good Chinese food doesn’t have to be expensive. In Chinatown, lots of restaurants line up serving affordable and decent dishes. A bowl of beef noodle soup, congee or stir-fried vegetables as well as pastries and sweets.
