erics Chinese restaurant, Sf - Carryout
veggie egg rolls
onion pancake
crab Rangoon
white rice
veggie moo shoo with pancakes
mongolian beef
sweet & sour chicken
Spicy smoked pork
spicy eggplant with chicken, prawns, and red bell peppers
note - the spicy dishes weren’t spicy for me so I added chili oil.
I last had Chinese restaurant food / carryout about 6 weeks ago (2/26 so maybe 7 weeks ago??) so this was really delicious and extremely enjoyable. I’ll enjoy leftovers for my luncheon this week and I’ll add tofu to some of these dishes. Obviously when I try to cook Chinese food at home, I’m using much less sugar and salt.
Mega lifestyle change with restaurants and I currently can feel the carryout joy more compared to before. When I was single, I lived in a very commercial part of Sf that had restaurants 2-3 doors away from where I lived, so I started to become very very accustomed to getting every meal at a restaurant. The 2020 situation really has changed this lifestyle for me, for the better.
I first had Eric’s in 1995 as my friends lived nearby. Today I went there after dropping off my child’s friend who lives 1-1/2 blocks away. The food is good as in 1995 and prices really aren’t that much higher; maybe double which isn’t bad for 26 years later.

I had to work early this morning, so turned it off when the Giants scored the go ahead run in the tenth. Good thing as I probably would have been so pumped up, it would take me some time to fall asleep and I would sleep through my alarms.
Back on topic, tried an Italian restaurant that I have not been to in years, had Spaghetti with Meat Sauce (Ground Beef, Sausage, and Pepperoni) with a side of Garlic Rolls with a lot of minced garlic, oil, and cheese on top of it. I thought about trying their Linguine with White Clam Sauce, but decided on the former instead. It was so good, I forgot why I stopped going there many years ago.
ah - kids baseball on Saturday. Youth baseball league.
big yay for your italian meal. I have a theory that you reduced going there because you like getting the spaghetti Filipino style and you stopped getting the spaghetti with meat sauce. Now you can enjoy both :-)
