Snooping around the Fishermen ' s Grotto



As it is , I'm thinking of crabs .
 No . Lusting for it .
Especially after seeing some folks polish a gigantic pile at Henry Restaurant in Bukit Panchor the other day . 

Triggered a sudden craving for long legged King Crab in particular which I enjoyed on 3 separate occasions ( it was soooo good ) at one buffet outside Garden Grove . 
A craving which made me evetually dig out my stash of dependable creamy spaghetti sauce with crab bits from Daiso . 
Pathetic eh ? It did help stave off the desire just a little .

Castro - queer town where the rainbow flag stands proud



As we approached Castro , nobody in the bus knew what to say .
Even though the guide had earlier given us a heads up as to what the town stands for , we looked on in silence while the free and happy souls pranced and strutted freely down the streets .

Vintage trams , trolleys and streetcars - the cutest part of San Francisco


Streetcars and trams are all part and parcel of San Francisco . 
They are such bona fide vintage , working antiques , my heart skipped a beat , each time one after the next whizzed past me .
Felt as if time had stopped and I was in a warped bubble straight out of the 50s .

Grant Place - comfort food in San Francisco Chinatown


Hubs likes San Fran ( the way he likes to call it ) but me , I'm not very fond of the city except for the landmark bridge and the Transamerican Pyramid below . 



Cathedral of St.Mary of the Assumption - Cathedral Hill



Would you believe it if I told you that this was a Roman Catholic church ?
When the tour bus stopped , I seriously thought that maybe we were at some sort of planetarium or a site dedicated to extra terrestrial beings .

In-N-Out Burger - Fisherman ' s Wharf , San Francisco



Heard soooo much about In-N-Out Burger and how good it was ( even from people who didn't eat beef ? my goodness )
They ( the non beef eaters ) would tell you how they regret not being able to eat there first , then show you the thumbs up sign and declare it's the best burger ...... period . 
How ridiculous is that huh ?

And when you ask them where the nearest one was , they'd tell you 
" you have to drive there "

Thus while wandering around Fisherman's Wharf , when I came across this outlet , I almost screamed ( inside - laaa ) . Though I was going to try the famous Boudin bread bowl clam chowder afterwards , my tum would have to make extra space for one In-N-Out .
