Well, Rosalie and I are "hard-back-at-it" in the world of food blogging. We just enjoyed a really good Chinese feast at "Dragon Well" on our latest "blog lunch" in San Francisco.
"Dragon Well" is a small modern-style restaurant located in the heart of the Marina on Chestnut Street. This small eatery has a very interesting menu that will allow you to enjoy your American-Chinese favorites while introducing you to some "authentic" Hong Kong dishes.
All recipes include light sauces and light, refreshing dressings that titivate the salads. Every dish that includes vegetables is made from fresh produce that clearly gives each dish a lighter, healthier taste, while still enhancing the many flavors of soy, garlic and ginger.
The menu entices you to step outside-the-box and try things like "Mrs Luo's Jook", a rice porridge served with shredded chicken, crispy noodles, scallions, cilantro & ginger, served with a soy sesame sauce. OMG!
The Hong Kong noodles with prawns, flank steak, chicken and fresh veggies served over pan fried noodles sounded delicious, as well. (even "good eaters", as confirmed in our titles on our business cards, can only eat so much!)
"Dragon Well" is well known for it's Mongolian beef and, of course, it's Chinese chicken & tofu salads, but believe us, they have plenty more to offer that will expand your "Chinese" palate, and it is all delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The service is outstanding and they have an excellent wine list to choose from, as well.
The fresh "Dragon Well tea" was brewed at our table and provided the perfect finish to our meal at this delightful "Chinese restaurant find"!
The most fabdelish thing was yet to come! After we finished our meal we were handed a large bowl of chocolate and vanilla fortune cookies!!!!!!!!! To Die For!!!
Our staff photographer found the following fortune in the first chocolate fortune cookie she enjoyed.
"Something on four wheels will soon be a fun investment for you!"
My fortune was also found in my first chocolate fortune cookie.
"You will soon receive pleasant news of a personal nature."
