more quick and dirty restaurant reviews

December 12th

Koi Palace (鯉魚門): Finally made it to this Chinese restaurant, right after we started driving there I got a text from Peter, a college friend, so we ended up meeting there for dim-sum. The wait was long but was worth it. Best Chinese food in bay area so far. We went there again the day [...]

Went to 43Things, and discovered 43 Places, cool stuff!

Here’s my 43 Places: http://www.43places.com/person/ayn… I’m sure I’ve missed some places I’ve been to, most of them were long long time ago…

Thanksgiving

November 27th

JenJen, Sherry and I spent Thanksgiving at my place this year. I reserved a turkey from Honey Baked Ham, picked it up Wednesday morning, which was probably their busiest day in the year as we spent a good half hour waiting in line, even though I had a reservation number on my Treo. Took about [...]

Restaurants

some quick and dirty restaurant reviews:

Arthur’s: Very close to my condo, it is only about 5 minutes away. Arthur’s is an old fashion upscale restaurant. The exterior looks like a motel, the restaurant itself is very large. We went there Tuesday night and all of the surrounding tables in the area were empty, so lots [...]

Riedel “O” wine tumblers

So my full Waterford stemware collection is still in my house in Austin, need some wine glasses for the bottle of 2001 Mondavi Reserve cabernet sauvignon I picked up at Napa… So Amazon is now shipping me 2 pairs of Riedel O wine tumblers for cab/merlot and pinot noir. These glasses look like their high [...]

Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge, ABC Seafood Restaurant, Milpitas, CA

October 30th

Sherry and I finally tried out ABC, it was alright, prices a bit high for dim-sum, but was good. They have kickass congee, we waited more than half an hour for them to get a new batch of congee ready, got the one with “fresh frogs”, good shit…
Saturday night we went to Fahrenheit Ultra [...]

Chinese food in the bay area

August 21st

I tried to go to Milpitas Square per recommendation from my friend Gordon, I went to that area but I’m not sure if that was it. Wherever I went was very close to a Cisco facility (I don’t think that was their headquarters).
Anyway, I found a little Asian mall and tried one of the HK-style [...]
