Discovering the San Francisco Shopping Centre

For all of the two years that William and I have lived here in the Bay area, I have only been to the San Francisco Shopping Centre once before with my friend Lisa while we went to the huge Nordstrom there. William had never been there before, despite all of the years he lived in the bay area before going to Boston. We are actually SUPER impressed by this "mall"- it was quite upscale. They have this beautiful dome inside the mall- very spectacular. The centre has a great selection of stores, which we both managed to do some shopping (and spending) though I wonder why women's clothing is so much more expensive than men's. I tried on these $2 pants and realized that why they were $2- they literally looked like huge clown pants. But, our favorite part of the center was the food court. It was so upscale with a great selection of cuisine ranging from Korean bbq, Japanese, Mexican, seafood, and a burger bistro. We shared a Thai chicken burger (it was totally unqiue with peanut sauce and coconut- ok, but we won't get it again) and then some curly fries. I haven't had curly fries in forever. We then got some gelato and shared a white chocolate cupcake from this European style market called Bristol Farms. We loved the set-up of this market that had stations of hot foods, salads, desserts, and deli- it was about the price of Whole Foods so slightly expensive, but good. I'm sure that we will definitely be making return trips to this place when we are in downtown San Francisco.

AAAUGH!!! Your posts always make me add more stuff to my list of things to do when we're in SF. Okay, this is going on my "Someday Maybe" right next to Fentons, the Winchester Mystery House and that cupcake place.

I think we went to that mall a long time ago on a family vacation. I remember buying clothes there...
