England Rose Garden – Fremont, CA
Before I begin with this post, I’d like to issue a formal apology for the lack of food related updates. I usually take food photos with my phone, and a couple weeks ago my phone decided that it would no longer read the external microSD memory card where all the photos were saved. I thought [...]
Healthy Porridge – Milpitas, CA
The English name of this restaurant definitely doesn’t sound too appetizing, the two words, “healthy” and “porridge”, when combined makes me think of something you would feed to a person who is not feeling well. The name is also quite misleading, as it makes one think that all this restaurant offers is porridge… which couldn’t [...]
Moongate Garden – Milpitas, CA
Ahh… Dim Sum. Savory delicious little bite sized noms. Consistently, Dim Sum ranks as one of my top favorite meal experiences. Not only are the delicacies extremely delicious, but the whole experience of watching the servers push around carts piled high with Chinese steaming baskets and yelling out their offerings reminds of my childhood. My [...]
China Rose – Milpitas, CA
This is a place that I am very familiar with, and its one of the few places that offers fried Eggplant the same way that my mom makes them. Since we hadn’t been here for awhile (2/24/2010), we ordered a lot of items that we missed… Although in the future I don’t believe we’ll have [...]
New Year’s Dinner – Grandma’s House
Alrighty, the actual day of new year’s (2/14/2010) was spent with my extended family at my Grandma’s house. My Grandma and Aunt spent hours cooking up a beautiful and delicious dinner for everyone to enjoy. Home cooked Chinese food is awesome. And yes, there were egg rolls at New Year’s dinner as well since they [...]
New Year’s Eve Dinner – Home
Ah, Chinese New Year. Definitely one of the BEST times of the year for food. My mom and dad cooked a delicious dinner (I helped with Egg Rolls!) that we enjoyed with just the immediate family. Unfortunately I can’t name each dish because I don’t know what they’re called in English, but pictures should offer [...]
Shooting Star Cafe – Oakland, CA
There are a lot of these Chinese “cafes” that serve similar food and drink around the Bay Area; they are often open late for foodies that crave noms that aren’t from the grease ridden cookie cutter restaurants that dominate the night venue. For some reason I was especially craving soup that night (2/11/2010), so I [...]
Hot Pot! – Milpitas, CA
One of my favorite meals.. ever. The way it works is that you cook the food right there at the table where you are sitting. Typically you’ll receive a pot of soup base on top of a portable stove, and then all the items you want in raw form. Raw beef slices, pork, chicken, fish [...]
