South Bay: Taiwan Cafe
I didn't get much sleep on my flight back to the Bay (plus I stayed up to catch the first bus to the airport), but that didn't stop me from enjoying a full day back at home with the family. My parents asked me what I wanted to eat and for once I had no ideas. So they took my sister and I to Taiwan Cafe for some Hakka cuisine:
The interior was very festive. I was a little confused by the hanging pineapples, but I've learned not to ask questions about Asian restaurant decor:
I'm not really familiar with Hakka cuisine. The only Hakka dish I know is large intestine with ginger. We tried to stick to the Hakka specials section of the menu, but we did make an exception for eggplant with basil:
Very well done.
There were a lot of intestine to choose from. I don't remember what part of the intestine this is:
The texture was a little off for me. Too...loose? Does that even make sense?
We also got a stir fry with small intestine:
Sadly, the intestine were a trifle bland.
My mom wanted noodles:
None of us got to try any. My mom killed it within minutes.
I really enjoyed this pork roast:
Fatty, succulent, and went perfect with rice.
Last but not least, we ordered some kind of Hakka stir fry:
It was a bit on the spicy side.
Dunno if I'll be back anytime soon, but overall, it was a great first meal back in the Bay. I can't believe it's already been over a week since I've been back. Only a week more to go before it's back to school again. Argh...I'm not ready to leave yet!
