japanese curry and southern fried chicken

october 17, 2008

i’m sure you’ve been asked a scenario where you had to choose one meal you’d eat for the rest of your life, given this would be the only type forever and ever and ever. i love curry, and i’m pretty sure i can eat curry everyday for weeks and weeks (i probably can’t eat it for the rest of my life, though… i.e., i ate ramyun everyday for weeks in middle school, whereafter i couldn’t eat it again for 2 years; i ate a lot of california rolls when my parents first opened a sushi restaurant, whereafter i couldn’t eat another california rolls for a year; in college i ate katsu for a few weeks straight working at sushi.come because it was the only thing they would feed me, whereafter merely looking at one made me want to puke). anyway… i knew today would be a good day when, on the bus to work in the morning i saw a sign for a japanese curry house out of the corner of my eyes not too far from work!! i was so excited for the discovery of muracci’s japanese curry & grill that i ate it for lunch with chris a few hours later. it was absolutely delicious. they also had these mini rolls, that were probably the best pastry/bread roll i’ve had in sf.

i rendezvoused again with chris right after work for some friday evening twilight golf at lincoln park gc. when daylight is as limited as it was today, the game of golf becomes more or less of ‘how many holes can we finish’ as much as who can play the best game. actually, maybe it’s more like 90% completion of the course and 5% score. the other 5% is probably left to, ‘can i actually find my ball in the dark?’ and ‘i can’t see anything, i might die’. regardless, it was fun times and i believe it would get me ready for the real thing on sunday.

(beautiful location with golden gate bridge backdrop; terrible course management)

(speed golf = cardio + golf)

(due to the unexpectedness of play, i had to go in my work clothes. it was surprisingly comfortable!)

after golf is always food, even after twilight golf. doug suggested a fried chicken place call hard knox cafe. the chicken was delicious, but i think the highlight of the meals were the corn muffins. these muffins were so soft, and warm, and buttery… yum!
