I lived in Daly City for two years when I was studying,Used to the cloudy sky and fog every day, I was very surprised at first, why the whole weather is another scene when I drive south for less than 20 minutes.So I fell in love with downtown San Mateo, which is located near the water. My favorite weekend is to come here to bask in the sun, sit outside and eat a salted chicken ice cream; or ask friends to go to Liu Yishou for a hot pot.
After graduating, I moved to San Mateo without any hesitation, and started to explore the food, drink and fun nearby.(Well, I admit that there is no fun, only eating and drinking).Ah Chu has a real Chinese stomach. The most commonly eaten are Chinese food and all kinds of Asian restaurants, and occasionally I will check in with international flavors. In this article, I will talk about the local peninsulas that I and my friends have eaten. Small restaurant.
(The space is limited. This article only covers some of the restaurants in City of San Mateo and Foster City. We will continue to talk about the cuisine of other parts of the peninsula later!) The following rankings are in no particular order.

It is also a restaurant in Hillsdale Mall foodcourt. The fried chicken is not bad, but this one is taken out separately, because his spicy chicken burger really looks like a plate roast chicken drumstick.But this one will be more spicy. There are a lot of side dishes in it, but the sauce and chicken taste really made me sizzle in an instant.
