Girls night out last weekend with Urja and Nicole.  Nicole and I ordered a pitcher of beer (it was half-priced), and Urja had this interesting looking mango champagne.

Had lunch with Sally and Lichi at a tapas/brewery place nearby the W hotel today.  Sally and I both ordered this flat bread loaded with sausage, eggplant, spinach, and pine nut.  It was yummy, but our conversation was even more delicious! :)

I love Brussels sprouts.  Found this beautiful thing outside of Wholefoods at Berkeley. The whole stalk costs $3.  A must buy of the day.

On a side note: I think the Berkeley Wholefoods has better (and more) deals than any other Wholefoods in the Bay Area.  Hmm… Am I really this bias these days?

I never really like Chinese food in America, and I can go without it for months. But once or twice a year I get to have some high quality, real Chinese food — Cantonese food to be exact (and yes, there is a little bit of bias) where my uncle and aunt pick for family gathering.   Look at the roast duck!!! It was delectable.

Dinner tonight — Homemade Korean Pajun (pancake).

Had Sichuan food with Susan. We ordered this pork with garlic sauce, and it looked so different than what we usually have!

I went to Saizo again for Izakaya last night.  It used to be my favorite Izakaya place before I discovered many others in the area.  I am just glad it wasn’t a business dinner again on a Friday evening.  Shared this set of Sake samplers with JB and Christine.
