In this densely packed and colourful pocket of San Francisco, culinary treats range from $2 dim sums (at Imperial Palace) to roast pig to shrimp noodles. Make a stop at Chinatown's oldest bakery, Eastern Bakery and witness a rarity – names of the goodies actually written in English! Famed by Bill Clinton's visit in 1996, the bakery offers unusual treats like black bean cake, steamed chicken (cocktail) bun and pork buns. An all-time-favourite with San Franciscans is the 100-year-old Sam Wo, which stays open till 3am. Recommended are the deluxe raw-fish salad, wonton soup with BBQ pork and the fried noodle house chow mein with bean sprouts and beef or pork. Make time to visit the Golden Fortune Cookie Company and nibble on the crispy treats that incidentally originated in San Francisco.
