damnit lydia. you were right. i haven't updated in a really long time. but here it goes folks...
today, i was able to enjoy the beautiful halloween sunday morning at thai temple with fellow food chick lydia and our pal jon. if you have not headed over there for sunday brunch yet (russeell & mlk), you must before you leave berkeley. look through our archives for that review...
cafe milano: why would she be reviewing this place?!? well here is the answer- i just want to make sure all of you have tried a mint hot chocolate. i ordered one at cafe milano last week and seriously, i fell in love. it's like a melted andes mint ($2.40, pricey but worth it) on a cold day. please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one at any cafe. also, others may disagree, but i think milano has the BEST sandwich on southside. i suggest you try the hot turkey on either foccaccia or the mexican roll. the sandwich has sun-dried tomato pesto, roasted bell peppers, your choice of cheese, the meat, all toasted to perfection. it even comes with a nice side salad, all for $4.50!! try it and let us know what you think.
shen hua: a few weeks ago, my friend jane treated me out to FABULOUS "chinese" food on college, right across from another FABULOUS cafe in berkeley, the Beanery. the restaurant may appear a bit pretentious from outside- modern architecture, white linen cloth, nice lighting, wooden fixtures, blah blah. but don't be intimidated. safe this trip for a celebration cause it can set a college student back about $15-$20 for the meal. alright, so we ordered the mu shu pork ($9), Ching Hua Prawns ($13), and the Chicken & Mushroom Noodle Soup ($9). the ching hua prawns.... amazing. lightly coated and fried prawns, sauteed in a semi-spicy tomato chili sauce, with scallions sprinkled on top. the best dish we ordered for sure. the mu shu pork was an excellent starter and the noodle soup was full of veggies and meat. on a scale of 1 to 5, the prawns took home a 5, the mu shu a 5, as well, but the soup a mediocre 3.5. this is an excellent date place (hint hint... yeah right, who am i kidding)
thanks lydia for all the updates. please let us know if you'd like to tag-a-long with me and lydia on our next culinary adventure. til next time, have a fabulous day.
