Koi Palace in Daly City, California

Typhoon Shelter-style Dungeness Crab

This Zagat and Michelin listed (that's listed, not Bib Gourmand nor starred) Chinese place was nearby and suggested for lunch today (365 Gellert Boulevard, 650-992-9000). It wasn't bad, particularly a lovely beef tripe that was boiled plain but accompanied by a deliciously simple Cantonese soy sauce and oil dip, all with the added excitement of some sliced jalapeno. That crab above was supposed to be typhoon shelter-style but was light on both the garlic and chili. I was still happy to be eating Dungeness crab nonetheless. Note that the line here is pretty brutal during a weekday dim sum lunch hour, so be sure to plan around it.
