Belated Dining Report of TriValley Seafood, Matsusomo, Pazzia, Birley's...

We were: Julie, Daphne, Deborah, Kristen (she didn't eat, though), Ling, Keith's wife (sorry, can't remember her name), Keith, Olivia, Kevin and me...

We ate: shrimp & snow peas, chow fun (YUM! can we go back soon just for this?!), whole chicken w/ green onion & ginger, sauteed scallops, ma po tofu, spare ribs (the yummy red kind, can't remember the gringo name), and of course, white rice. Can't remember what else, but for some reason, I think I might be missing at least 2 entrees.

The wait staff were making fun of us - that we were so Americanized. Apparentely we weren't Chinese enough (we were ALL Chinese! haha!) because we didn't order soup nor fish. Oh wells... Everything was delish! I especially enjoyed the chow fun. I REALLY want to go back for that... ahhh...!

Matsumono... we cooked our own food. I cooked less than the last time. The bacon was goood!

Pazzia... my new favorite Italian restaurant. Went with Araceli for dinner last Monday. I had a spicy sausage pizza. Simple and just about perfect. We also shared a Cesar salad, also very good. For dessert, I had to try their specialty, the tiramisu. Not too sweet. I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait to return!

Birley's... I finally tried the much loved Cuban sandwich. OMG!!!!!!!!! Wow! So that's what I've been missing all this time. Man, am I stupid! I suppose the only good thing that has come out of NOT eating the Cuban is that I've saved myself some calories.
