Saigon Seafood Harbor




Hi, I’m Mrs. Meathead and I will be your hostess for today.
Today, the Friday before Labor Day, I am “working from home.” And usually when I’m “working from home” myself and Mr. Meathead take the opportunity to go out to fancy lunches we normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to have. Our recent favorite restaurant is just behind our house, “Saigon Seafood Harbor.” We have the great pleasure of having the parking lot to the Pacific East Mall in Richmond as our backyard.

We watched the Iron Chef Run-offs New Years Eve and Iron Chef Chen did some fantash ground pork in hot bean sauce stir fry that actually looked like something I could make. I.E. I have a copy of “Henry Chung’s Hunan Style Chinese Cookbook”. Anyone familiar with Chinese food in San Francisco ought to know Henry’s Hunan. Worst decor, best damn food you will EVER eat. The cookbook dates back to the 80’s, so the recipes are a little less anglo-friendly (no chow mein recipes and a lot of the chicken still has the bone in). This is the most exquisite food, and everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is hot and spicy.
So, here it is, the best food in the world!
