Brunch at Mayflower, San Francisco, CA
Whenever we are out in the Richmond, getting our hair cut, we always try to make it to Mayflower, a seafood place with some very tasty dim sum. Usually, we go home about $30 lighter and thoroughly stuffed. This time it was about $45, but $16 of that was the abolone we ordered, which, upon retrospect, wasn't really worth it.
Steamed Abolone with Garlic
The garlic was very tasty, but the abolone didn't had much flavor to match its firm flesh.
Spareribs in Black Beans Sauce
These were better than usual and were fall-off-the-bone tender.
Scallop Dumplings
These were quite good and fell right out of their shells and into our hungry mouths.
Har Gow
Fresh with large chunks of shrimp and not much filler.
Sui Mai
These little pork dumplings were different than usual with fewer meaty chunks and a more uniform texture. We like the normal version better.
Jellyfish and Baby Octopus
Giao thought the jellyfish were decent, and we were both pleasantly surprised with these slightly sweet baby octopus which were subtly flavored with sesame.
Stuffed Fried Tofu
Not much on its own, but a great vehicle for soy sauce and chili sauce.
