How's the warm weather? I wonder if you're as sweaty as your big brother and Mommy, or like Daddy who can wear layers of clothes and not sweat at all. I remember when you're home, Mommy always worried you were gonna be too warm, because everybody tried to give you so many layers of thick clothes.
So let me tell you what we did today. We basically stayed home most of the time, but we did go out for dinner. We went to this awesome Portuguese restaurant called A Lorcha. It gotta be one of the best, if not the best, Portuguese restaurants in town. Look at all the yummy food!
We first started with a Seafood Soup (Left) and my favorite Cabbage and Potato Soup (Right).
As for entrees, we have:
Lamb Chops with Fries - You bet your brother ate most of the fries. He even yelled at his Uncle Carlos when he tried to take some fries and using a fork. I guess your brother thinks that Fries is a finger food and should not be eaten with utensils?
Next up is the Clams in Garlic and Olive Oil. The soup base was delicious. I expected it to be a little greasy because of the olive oil, but it's not. Very clear and sweet (clam sweetness).
Then we have the famous Seafood Rice. It's Deeeeelicous!! The best Seafood Rice I've ever had. When we left the restaurant, we noticed 8 out of 10 tables ordered this rice. Yum Yum YUM!
This is the Bloody Chicken. Usually we eat Bloody Duck, but they only have the chicken version. It doesn't look very appetizing, but it's very delicious. It's sour though, so I guess not that many people like it. But we do!
Can't have Portuguese food without some bacalhau (salted cod fish). We ordered the Baked Bacalhau with Mashed Potato. It was surprisingly good, as this is our first time trying this version of bacalhau. Your Auntie Mena ate most of it coz she loved it so much!
Last but not the least, DESSERTS!!! When asked what he liked, your brother immediately pointed to the chocolate mousse. But then while we're sharing, we noticed that there's alcohol in it, so we quickly switched it out and have your brother eat the Mango Pudding instead. Just as delicious.
Your brother didn't eat much rice, but he sure did eat two big piggy buns. After fries, he wanted to dip his bread into the ketchup. He LOVES ketchup. Ah Po tried to do the same, but she said it didn't taste good.
This was a nice dinner. Good food with good company. Luckily, we made reservations (limited to 1.5 hrs) because when we left, we saw a lot of people waiting in line. This is also a good dinner because Ah Po was able to eat most of the food. Her teeth are not great and her taste buds have changed recently. She wasn't able to eat a lot of food, but she enjoyed the meal. That's the most important thing. She wanted to know how much it is, just for the sake of knowing. But I told her, as long as you can eat and love the food, she doesn't need to know. I wish you and Daddy could enjoy this meal as well. Last time when Mommy took Daddy to another Portuguese restaurant, he really liked the food. I bet he would love this restaurant as well. Maybe next time we come back, we can come again. I am definitely going to have another Portuguese meal before I go back. Hard to have a good decent Portuguese restaurant in the Bay Area.
The evening ends with some more dessert. Your Uncle Carlos won a little money playing Mahjong last night, so he treated us to some Haagen Daz.
We got the Green Tea and Tiramisu flavors. They said the Tiramisu is a little too sweet for their taste. I told them, don't eat and I'll eat them all! HA!
Of course, your brother enjoyed the ice-cream as well. He didn't eat much as it was late. I didn't want him to stay awake for the rest of the night. He already had dessert earlier. Luckily, he fell asleep pretty fast.
That wraps up our day. Today, Mommy will go to the travel agency to purchase the packages for our Hong Kong Disneyland Trip this weekend. Mommy, big brother and Uncle Carlos will go to Hong Kong Thursday and hit Ocean Park first. Then we will meet up with everyone at Disneyland on Saturday.
I'll tell you all about the trip later. Many have also uploaded all of our pictures at our Gallery.
Love you,
Mommy
