About Me
Growing up, I moved at least every four years until I got to San Francisco. I felt at home right away. I love the tofu banh mi from Little Vietnam Cafe, samosa chaat and veggie wrap from Chaat Corner, broccoli vegetarian chicken from Hunan Cafe #2, and ANY dessert from Cinderella Bakery and Na Ya.
