I don't mean to be such a fob lately, but I had to share. This is quite possibly the most meta experience you can have around these parts. Asian-ized Western food (the same way Panda Express makes Americanized Chinese food) eaten in California, on a street with a bunch of Asian restaurants.
So great.
We had the curry chicken (and carrots, potatoes and taro) over spaghetti noodles. Creamy and delicious. Plus hearty wonton soup (generously plump wontons stuffed with pork and shrimp), gai lan (Chinese broccoli) drizzled in oyster sauce, and some of the best fried chicken wings dusted with spicy salt and smothered in onions.
Paired with Coke (Garry), warm lemon & honey water (Asta) and hot Horlicks (me). I love the metal barrel-shaped mugs they come in, the same ones they use in HK.
For an authentic Hong Kong diner kind of experience right here in the States, there's nothing like Hong Kong Bistro. Now that I think of it, I shoudl have devoted a whole Foodie Tuesday post to this.
