Francis' list

From Taiwanese

The following are some suggested restaurants that we could visit in the future. We could rotate between Asian and Western cuisines and between low-priced, moderately-priced, and high-end restaurants to try out different restaurants and cuisines in the SF Bay Area to suit a variety of culinary tastes and palates.

This list will be updated periodically to remove restaurants that we have already visited and do not intend to have a repeat visit in the near future.
