Sadly, I was hard-pressed to find worthy mentions. When I wrote up the 2007 list, I had decided it was far easier to limit myself to what I actually posted that year, rather than what I had eaten. Mainly, because I am such a laggard when it comes to putting up posts. Heck, I still have 2007 restaurants I haven't written up! Nonetheless, for those of you who like lists, have a gander.

Angriest. Because the wrong directions to The Cravery - Tustin on the Live on the Go website sent lil' sis on a wild goose chase and caused us to fight. :(
Cutest. Panda cookies from Kiki Bakery - San Gabriel.
Overhyped. Bland and mushy Hainese chicken rice from Savoy Kitchen - Alhambra.
Smartest. Because the kids' meal toy was a language CD from Chick-fil-A - Upland.
Spiciest. Any of the chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorn-laden dishes at Chung King Restaurant - San Gabriel.
Weirdest. Horse meat, a souvenir from my brother's trip to Xinjiang, China.*****
1 year ago today, Tom Tau Hu Ky (Vietnamese Shrimp Paste Wrapped in Bean Curd Skin).
2 years ago today, Pumpkin Curry and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds from the sugar pumpkins I grew in my garden.
I think I should start doing this. As for remembering your posts, this time I remember 4 out of 6. I remembered the taro bun at Kiki bakery but not their panda cookies. Memory slip :).
ReplyDeleteI too have a giant restaurant queue. 30+restaurants! It bugs me since now I have less and less time to work on them, and that stuff that I posted online by then became old news. (Like Green Island, they now have a new larger lunch menu than they did before...)
ETE,
ReplyDeleteHaha. Are you trying to make it a game? How many of my posts you can recall?
I think I have more than that in my queue and restaurants have opened and closed before I even have a chance to blog about them. Oh well.
