Recently there was a survey conducted at San Francisco International Airport where arriving visitors were asked why they chose San Francisco as their vacation destination. The top reason was because visiting San Francisco is like visiting several countries in one action-packed, 49 square miles. So, we’re celebrating our cultural and global diversity in this issue of WhereTraveler. Take a tasty ride with Virginia Miller, who leads us on a winding path to some of the most delicious ethnic restaurants in the city. Join Samantha Durbin on a fantastic tour of Japantown, with its many surprises and yummy treats. November is packed with great live performances including Cirque du Soleil’s “Amaluna,” “Ghost Busters” with the SF Symphony, and ODC/Dance’s version of “The Velveteen Rabbit.” You can read all about them in our calendar starting on page 12. Remember to tag your photos #wheretraveler for your chance to have your photo published nationally.

Travel Around the World in One City: A Food Crawl Exploring Rare Cuisines

Like the best food cities, San Francisco doesn’t just have a few great restaurants in each category.

Take, for example, Chinese. There are hundreds of restaurants covering every Chinese region and style from Szechuan to Hakka, alongside endless Chinese bakeries and butchers. It’s easy to travel

the world on a plate here, eating cuisine from countless countries prepared with authenticity and forward-thinking flair. Here, we journey to 10 countries within SF’s packed 7x7 miles to some of the best restaurants in their category.

THAILAND: NARI

Pim Techamuanvivit has long won fans at Kin Khao, her casual, oneMichelin-starred Thai restaurant downtown. But when she also took on upscale Nahm in Bangkok, she held a star there, too, wowing with her soulful Thai food on two continents.

She’s back with an SF newcomer, Nari, serving vibrant, traditionalyet-modern dishes, like Thai rarity kapi plah (smashed gulf prawns and shrimp paste relish, green Meyer lemons, seasonal vegetables, herbs), addictive fried veal sweetbreads and shareable, lush curries.

MOROCCO: MOURAD

Mourad’s Lahlou’s namesake, Michelin-starred Mourad, showcases what he has long done best: Moroccan food with California innovation and impeccable ingredients. His signature salmon, with changing accents like fennel, cherries, almonds and capers, is silky perfection, while a classic Moroccan duck almond Bastilla gets fresh treatment with peach and verjus. His beloved, trailblazing restaurant Aziza has long been closed but is soon to open as Amara, a Mexican-Moorish restaurant bringing a whole new travelat-your-table opportunity, an only-in-California food mashup.

NIGERIA: EKO KITCHEN

Eko Kitchen may run a bit slow in between dishes, but you’re on Nigerian time now, so take it easy, enjoy the playlist, a sleek yet cozy room of communal tables and chef Simileoluwa Adebajo’s Nigerian cooking, which is slightly different each day they are open. Explore a range of dishes like ayamase (beef/tripe stew), akara/moin moin (black-eyed pea fritters) or the signature jollof rice pot with peppered chicken, spicy Naija pepper sauce and fried plantains.

INDIA: INDIAN PARADOX

IRAQ: JANNAH

Blink and you’ll miss closet-sized Indian Paradox on Divisadero. But you won’t want to. Straight out of a Bollywood movie, the tiny, colorful bar is home to owner and sommelier Kavitha Raghavan’s lively Indian street food, chaat (snacks) and unexpected wine pairings that go well beyond the obvious riesling. Her effusive personality warms the space, as do her soulful dishes like chili cheese toast or sundal (garbanzo beans in mustard seeds, curry leaves, shredded coconut, unripe mango).

Chef Yahya Salih has been cooking nurturing Iraqi/Middle Eastern dishes in SF since 1988, first at the great YaYa, then at neighborhood treasure Jannah, which opened in 2009. His babaganoush and muhammara (red pepper walnut pomegranate dip) are among the best in town. Go beyond the usual Middle Eastern selections for rarities like safeeha (pizza-like flatbread), kelecha (Iraqi “ravioli”) or perdaplow, akin to a Moroccan bastilla with shredded chicken, rice and almonds cooked in phyllo pastry in warm apricot cardamom sauce.

SCANDINAVIA: PLÄJ

It isn’t easy finding Scandinavian food across much of the U.S., much less made in such elegance and comfort as at Pläj (pronounced “play”). Pläj is a cozy gem tucked away in Hayes Valley since 2012. Sweden-born chef Roberth Sundell and wife, Andrea, also own the casual Stockhome in Petaluma (Sonoma County). From aged herring to beet-cured gravlax accented by sea buckthorn sorbet, rye crumble and lemon crème fraîche, Sundell’s dishes are artfully delicious, paired with house aquavit infusions and Scandinavian cocktails.

SINGAPORE: LOCAL KITCHEN

SRI LANKA: 1601 BAR & KITCHEN

Don’t let the standard name, Local Kitchen (LK), fool you. Chef Nora Haron-Dunning showcases her Singapore roots and unique culinary vision with the spirit of her home country where Singaporean-Indonesian-Malay-Indian-Chinese foods deftly combine into their own unique cuisine, enlivened by California’s fresh, multicultural soul.

Think Kerala-style chicken curry, Malaysian-style laksa or braised brisket rendang with rice creatively done in coconut-turmeric arancini form, and a killer house sambal sauce.

One of SF’s treasures since 2013, 1601 Bar & Kitchen is a rarity anywhere. The restaurants serve modern Sri Lankan-influenced cuisine from chef-owner Brian Fernando and his wife, Yuliya.

Fernando’s father is from Sri Lanka, just off India’s southern coast.

Their egg “hopper” is signature Sri Lankan. But everything from chicken-egg-coconut-pumpkin curry bowls to fried okra in lime pickle emulsion is unlike anything you’ll eat anywhere else. A chef ’s tasting menu offers delicious rarities like jackfruit “kiri bath” (coconut milk rice cake).

GERMANY: SUPPENKÜCHE

Hardcore German with NorCal freshness, Suppenküche serves German beers on draft, Germanic wines and soulful food with a Bavarian leaning, transporting you straight to Germany under white walls at pinewood communal tables. It has been an SF staple since 1994 from Fabrizio (Fabi) Wiest, who is also part owner of nearby beer garden, Biergarten, and Radhaus at Fort Mason Center. Their Austrian schnitzel is the “real deal,” split pea soup as good as it gets and cheese spaetzle heartwarming.

CHINA: CHILI HOUSE

Chili House may look like the other dozens of Chinese hole-in-the-walls lining the Richmond District, but it houses arguably the city’s best Szechuan food. Yes, this means plenty of chilies and heat, from top-notch poached fish in flaming chili oil to irresistible spicy pork wontons

(dumplings). Chef Lijun Han and wife Michelle also feature changing regional dishes from their travels around China, like Beijing-style Peking duck carved table-side or perfect Xi’an cold, thick noodles in sesame sauce.

Four Asian American Fashion Designers Making Waves in the Bay Area The Asian American community is experiencing a milestone cultural moment. In 2018, “Crazy Rich Asians” became the highest-grossing romantic comedy of the decade. Recently, Sandra Oh and Hasan Minaj made history as the first entertainers of Asian heritage to host major network shows: the “76th Golden Globe Awards” and “Patriot Act” on Netflix, respectively. The current U.S. Congress has sworn in a record-setting number of Asian American elected officials. San Francisco has been a historic trans-Pacific gateway between America and Asia, as well as an inspiring intercultural center. Beyond the start-ups of the postdot-com era, this city has influenced many creative entrepreneurs working in music, design and fashion.

Here are four Asian American fashion designers working in the Bay Area today and enjoying the spotlight.

TOMMY PHAM: SFC CASUAL CYCLING

YOSHIMI HOUSE: SNACKU

With over 15 years of fashion design and brand developing experience, Tommy Pham has leaned into the Bay Area’s well-established iconic cycling culture. His brand was launched in 2012 with a collection of soft T-shirts playing with themes and elements of street fashion and bike style. “I was raised with old-school Asian values and that American can-do attitude,” he explains. “I’m inspired by my culture, by pops of color and subtle details.

Sometimes it’s blatant and sometimes you have to look closely to see what’s combined.” The brand has amassed quite a following, including praise from the popular Adventure Sports Network. Last year, Pham opened his third shop in the Mission District. Habitual, recreational and occasional bikers now know a little San Francisco secret: “It’s not just functional gear, it’s fashion!”

A fashion influencer and avid cartoonist, Yoshimi House uses her drawing talent to create handmade lambskin leather jackets with a playful twist.

She launched her brand in 2013 out of the Squirrel Factory design studio in Berkeley. “I don’t want people to see me through the filter of race,” she says. “It makes me feel awkward because I am an individual before I am Asian or Japanese.” The styles range from classic biker cuts to more bohemian fringed pieces to street style savvy athleisure looks. Sourcing leather locally from a nearby farm in Napa Valley where it is also tanned, she works with the team of artisans to embellish each classic garment with surprising detail. This makes her designs wearable for whatever the occasion.

Last year, the brand was featured on the cover of Oakland Magazine’s Style Issue as the Snaku style-star keeps rising in 2019.

As a designer, she aims to enhance a woman’s natural beauty and provide a sense of body positivity for her clients. Her eponymous brand is growing in popularity among

sophisticated Bay Area fashionistas thanks to her masterful combination of luxe fabrics and bold prints. “As a designer, I believe it’s important to be expansive when thinking of expressing your vision. This means surrounding yourself with a wide variety of environments. I am inspired by all artistic realms and, of course, I acknowledge my own cultural background in my design process,” says Liu. Awarded Best Young Designer

by ArtsThread/WGSN in 2012, she designs at her atelier in San Francisco and manufactures in New York, giving her creations that cool coast-to-coast vibe and a proud Made in USA label.

It’s something that I am fascinated with as a designer,” says Kim. She works by a unique and somewhat controversial mantra: “Don’t try to alter a man’s ego, design for it.” If contemporary
