Summer 2010 - Mom's food

Sooooo much backlogging!!!!! I will have you know that, yes, I'm still documenting my foodventures (albeit not as well or as much), and yes, I'm still alive, if only barely. I think I will be more review and documentation focused rather than recipe focus, unless otherwise requested by imaginary readers. Anyway, over the summer, I took some pictures of the food my mom made, which I will just throw it all here. I should've taken more because now I don't remember everything she made, so I can't imitate them when I crave home food... but don't know which ones. My life is so confusing. Alright, "stop talking, show me the pictures!" I know, I know. Here they are.

Now is as good of a time as ever to wade through the loads of backlogs, even though I'm suppose to be paying attention to my lecture right now.

They have weekend morning dim sum (Shanghai style), and has fairly extensive menu, of course, you'll know what to order, but isn't that the case with most ethnic cuisine?

Korea Tofu House, Cupertino, CA

This is a super back-post because I went to this restaurant June 16th. My posts are all out of order. Oh well.

The Hungry Engineering Student and I were in Bay Area for about half a week post-graduation to visit my mom. It happens that HES's old suitemate, who also recently graduated, were back home in San Jose so we decided to meet up for lunch.

Located in a large Asian store complex, the restaurant is simply called Korea Tofu House. Yelp reviews seemed mediocre at only three stars, but considering the overall high quality of Asian cuisine available in the Bay Area, it's still probably better than anything we get in San Diego. It's a decent sized place, not too crowded for lunch on a Wednesday. The menu consisted of typical
