SF Eats: Lers Ros, Cafe Bunn Mi, & San Tung

After spending an entire weekend of meals with Ping, and not being disappointed with a single one, my husband and I started exploring other restaurants she's mentioned. Most recently, we hit 3 places: 1.) Lers Ros (Ping's pics here), 2.) Cafe Bunn Mi, and 3.) San Tung.

At Lers Ros, we joined Ping and Karen for a lovely lunch. Unsurprisingly, the best dishes were the ones they ordered and everything was very flavorful :)

Pad Kra Prow Moo Krob - Stir-fried pork belly with crispy rind and Basil leaves This was definitely the star of the show! Despite being served with a sauce, the pork belly rind remained crisp even at very end.

Duck Larb - A chunk of roasted duck mixed with rice powder, chili powder and lime based salad dressing. The lime and chili combination packed a nice zesty kick - my second favorite dish of the bunch.

Whole Fried Trout w/ Mango Relish I didn't actually try the relish, but the fish itself was very tasty and didn't really need any accompaniments.
At Cafe Bunn Mi, we tried their Mojito Lemonade (non-alcoholic and quite refreshing), as well as:

Pork Belly Banh Mi Like packing a bunch of Chinese siu yook into a yummy toasted bun. The sandwiches themselves are actually quite large and generously filled.

Crispy Duck Banh Mi The Pork Belly version came out first and we eagerly devoured it. When the Crispy Duck came out, we were already feeling a little full, but the moment we tasted it, we forgot about our full bellies and ate it ravenously too. I'm not usually a huge fan of duck - save for the duck larb above and this banh mi - but this one is amazing. Crispy skin with savory and juicy meat.
Finally, we tried the famous chicken wings at San Tung:

Dry Fried Chicken Wings Again, we were awed (are we easily awed?) that something coated in sauce could remain crisp for the duration of a meal. A mixture of honey sweetness with garlic and hot peppers. Try to go for lunch to avoid long lines.
Big thanks to Ping for sharing her foodie expertise! Next up, we'd love to try Izakaya Sozai!
