Rough Draft

Henry's Hunan and Syriana

Since Jeff wasn't flying home until this morning, I went up to San Francisco again last night to hang out. We went to Henry's Hunan, which was recommended to me by Buzz. It has an overall rating of 9.0 on citysearch, but the user comments were pretty varied, ranging from "Greatest Hunan Cuisine in the USA" to "most dishes taste like Panda Express". Then there's my personal favorite: "Hot and sour soup lover's unite".

We ordered Hot and Sour soup and dumplings for an appetizer and Hunan Shrimp and Kung Pao Beef for our entrees. All of the food was really tasty, and there was plenty of it. We ordered a small bowl of soup ($4.50), but there was enough for us to each have two cups full. We also each had several helpings of the entree dishes and there was still plenty left over to take home. If you're in the SoMa area of the city and have a hankering for Chinese food, I highly recommend Henry's Hunan.

After eating we went back to the hotel to figure out what we wanted to do the rest of the night. We decided on going to see a movie, so while we downloaded several movie trailers we played several rounds of Mario Kart DS. After watching the trailers (Match Point, Syriana, and Munich), we decided on Syriana. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, but it was really complex and following all the characters and locations was pretty tough. There also wasn't much, if any, backstory on any of the characters, so as Jeff said, you just had to assume they were behaving logically.
