Hanging out with friends. Dim sum on Castro Street in Mountain View at Fu Lam Mum. Pretty decent if non-fancy dim sum, experience would've been much better if the restaurant wasn't freezing cold inside. While the patrons can keep warm with sweaters, the food gets cold quickly, and that is a definite knock against what is otherwise pretty solid dim sum. Complete with gigantic, crab-claw-stuffed deep fried shrimp ball (!).
Dinner at Vung Tau II. Catfish soup, a fried noodle and shrimp thing, and other delicious noms, plus a visit to Tapioca Express for old times' sake. Kee Wah next door was a nice add too, although this Kee Wah location was pretty pricey. What gives, Milpitas??
Took Diana home, then off to Wine Affairs to catch up with Frances, Patrick, Sonya, and friends. Pretty good wine and beer list, some expensive (if tasty) truffle and cheese popcorn, and a reasonably decent ambiance for a casual crowd. Always good to see friends!
