ABC Cafe

Baked Alaska

ABC Cafe recently opened at Aberdeen Mall in Richmond. The restaurant has a nice, clean atmosphere and service was quite fast. The prices are relatively expensive for HK Style Cafe food, but the ingredients used are also of higher class. They have dishes like steak, and a variety of seafood. The food is more western styled than most Chinese cafes. Overall, the food was quite good. Nothing too special I guess. My friend was craving some Baked Alaska afterward, so we ordered it. The flame went up and unfortunately, I think it burned the meringue too much so that it was actually burnt on the sides and had a bad aftertaste. Inside, was fruit cake as opposed to a brownie base that I usually have. It was still good, but I wish it weren’t so burnt!

Finally uploaded my pictures of my feast at Empire Seafood Restaurant in Richmond in the London Drugs Mall. Around a month ago, the Alaskan king crabs were in season, and almost all Chinese restaurants were offering feasts of crab for a great deal. This is actually only one way of how the crab was cooked. This one was done with garlic. There was also one that was fried with batter. Both so delicious! I think the crab season is ending soon now, so get all the crab you can before the prices rise again!

Chinatown in San Francisco

Mussels

We decided to go try some Chinese food in San Francisco, and of course the place to be was in Chinatown! This restaurant had a lot of people in it, so we chose to go in. The food was delicious although the environment wasn’t all glammed up. Prices were also reasonable. We also had a dish of crab, but I forgot to take a picture! I guess I was too busy eating!
