Having food in San Francisco during ASM

ASM (American Society of Microbiology)'s general meeting is held this weekend in San Francisco, and it's been lots of fun! Also we've been having good food too!
Last night we went to Fang, a Chinese restaurant along Howard St, and had my first Chinese moriawase meal. Very interesting experience, and yummy too. Dishes that came up were: 1. gyoza with sweet chili sauce, 2. braised pork and leek in chinese bun, 3. chives chinese pancake, 4. fish soup with crab meat (flavorful with a bit of spicy taste, probably from ginger), 5. fried chicken with sweet potato slices drizzled with sweet and lightly sour sauce, 6. peppercorn and black bean sauteed fish slices, 7. sauteed mushrooms and garlic, 8. honey deep-fried pork ribs with marinated bak choy
We also ordered wine (also first time drinking western wine at a chinese restaurant, normally a no-no for me), and the Gewurztraminer was good too.
This afternoon we went to Osha, a Thai restaurant along 3rd St, and it was delicious yet not over-priced too. We had 1. pad thai, 2. crab fried rice, 3. spicy eggplant, 4. larb with lettuce (surprisingly a little spicy), 5. green curry, 6.thai iced tea/coffee. Yum! Much better than what I've had so far in the Bay Area..
