Brunch at Foreign Cinema, San Francisco, CA

Against our better judgment, we met some friends for brunch at Foreign Cinema, a place with decent food and horrible, holier than thou, service. Giao claims that they hate Chinese people and by virtue of the fact that he looks Chinese, they are racist towards him. But Alexis is white and they aren't very nice to her either. Maybe we just are not "cool" enough. In any case, they have a nice outdoor patio, which was perfect for this sunny Sunday.


A Dozen Oysters $18
4 different kinds of oysters, most of them good, one of which was a little off in Giao's opinion.


Sardines with Roasted Bell Peppers, Fried Broccolini and Fresh Ricotta $10
Very tasty and fresh.


Beef Carrpaccio with Curry Sauce and Fried Parsnips $10
The parsnips were a nice touch and it was good, but not special.


Sesame Fried Quail with Morrocan Carrots $14
Good, but nothing special about this dish.


Two Poached Eggs with Grilled Duck Breast, Warm Salad Greens and Duck Cracklins $12
This was very tasty and apparently I was very hungry, as this picture was taken after I'd eaten about two thirds of the meal.


Lavendar Creme Brulee $7
A solid rendition, yet I didn't taste the lavendar.
