This tiny Bay Area town is a surprising spot to find delicious Hawaiian food
Subbing in for MacKenzie Chung Fegan this week is Cesar Hernandez, sharing his favorite recent bites, dishes, snacks and baked goods that don't make it into a full review. Want the list a few days earlier? Sign up for MacKenzie's free newsletter, Bite Curious. I was delighted by the laidback atmosphere of The Altamont General Store, a counter-service restaurant and market in Occidental, the secluded town in Sonoma County with a population of 1,000. The casual restaurant makes a credible sausage breakfast sandwich ($16.50), slicked with romesco, but the Hawaiian-inspired plate lunch ($21) stole the show. I went with shrimp, which was slightly crisp and doused in a spicy-sweet sauce. It was rounded out with toothsome rice, creamy mac, miso broccoli and piquant, tangy kimchi. I had one of the greatest fish soups I've ever tried at Mountain View's HalalStreet Xinjiang Cuisine, which specializes in Northern Chinese and Uyghur cuisine. The hulking sea bass in a green peppercorn broth ($58.98) arrives at the table bubbling with fury. While the fish was tender and flaky, I couldn't get enough of the pickled cabbage. The decadent broth is more numbing than spicy, but keep drinking and your sinuses will loosen. I recommend trying it with a group of friends. Or tackle it alone, if you're brave enough. 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., 5-9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 11:30 a.m.-4:30-9 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. 174 Castro St., Mountain View. or 650-386-5103 I had wonderful snacks on a recent visit to the Restaurante Latino Los Sazones de mi Tierra, a new Guatemalan restaurant in San Leandro. The restaurant excels at crunchy appetizers like tostadas topped with sliced beets, boiled eggs and a spiral of ketchup. The standout was the garnaches ($15), 10 cracker-sized tostadas adorned with ground beef, tomato sauce and pickled cabbage. I like to think of them as improved Lunchables. 10 a.m.-9 p.m. daily. 16496 E. 14th St., San Leandro. 510-626-6471
