Dinner at Le Colonial, San Francisco, CA
After Cafe Claude, we decided to get a real meal at Le Colonial, a French-Vietnamese place with a great open-air veranda. Since it was such a beautiful day it was great to enjoy a drink and a few appetizers on a comfy couch on a veranda above street level.
Duck Confit Spring Rolls $10
Tasty, if a tad greasy.
Panko Crusted Calamari with Sweet Chili Sauce $9
A bit too bready for us, but we liked that there were so many tentacle pieces. The sauce was also too sweet and had a bit of a snotty texture. Overall, not bad though.
Crab Asparagus Soup $7
This was a much brothier, less gelatinous and oddly sweet version of this soup. It was tasty, and used nice, big chunks of crabmeat, but very different from the previous renditions of this soup that we've had.
Tempura Squash Blossoms Stuffed with Shrimp and Crab $13
These sounded better than they tasted. The stuffing had the consistency of a fish ball, but tasted a bit fresher. Overall, a little bland, and too expensive for the portion size.
