bleh claim jumper was a dissapointment last night

i went to Pearl... (cant remember full name) chinese restaurant (same complex as Kinders) for dim sum for lunch today
not bad

colleague insisted on paying for it
lol

im gonna go to costco to grab a hotdog and take a walk to see what to buy now

life in channel marketing in Asus is hard... esp this time of the year
im just leaving office now

 

Heh I was there last night too..around 8:30pm. Had the chicken jimbalaya. Was pretty good.

 

hey i was around there near the same time too
i sat near the bar but at a high table

shrimp and scallop skewer was only ok

their riesling white wine was too sweet even for a riesling


and OMG, i just realized that booze is so much cheaper here in US than Canada
lol
i just picked up a bottle of Conundrum white wine and a bottle of 18 years old Glendiffich

but damn, i just found out i can only bring 1.14L total in at a time
2 combined = 1.5L

looks like no conundrum for me this time, gonna give it to my colleague

 

Asian Pearl just opened, very nice decor but a bit pricey. For more budget dim sum that is pretty good, you can go up to the next exit at 880 and Stevenson and go to Fu Lam Moon. It's strange that with so many Chinese people in Fremont you would think there would be more good Chinese restaurants but there aren't. Many more in the next city down in Milpitas. At Pacific Square in Milpitas on 880 and 237, there's Mayflower and Golden Island and ABC, along with King Crab on Calaveras. BTW, I think that southern Chinese food is the only type of good Chinese food and I'm jealous that the greater Vancouver area has more good HK-style restaurants than in the Bay Area IMO.

 

i just got back home to Vancouver

thanks for the suggestion professorP and everyone else
ill be visiting Fremont very often in the future (quarterly or sometimes more)
and sometimes may stay up to a month at a time

yeah Asian Pearl is a bit pricey for dim sum that doesnt come to your table hot, only luke warm...

i actually like northern chinese cuisine along with southern
there are too many types of chinese food that i enjoy
i am a taiwanese so there is also taiwanese food that i love

lol

but thanks everyone once again
maybe next time ill try to meet up with some of you guys
