The Perfect Square: San Gabriel to Valley to Atlantic to Garvey.
Tonight was an ambitious night... a fundraiser at Emilio's school, Parent's night out, was a 5 hours oddyssey shared withPaul Yi and Laura Kang, who dumped off Junsu and Minsu for $35 a head, and the O's, Eve Oishi and Sherri Ozeki.
We basically travelled a perfectly marvelous square. First it was off to Kortry Skin Care Center in San Gabriel for an amazing head, neck, shoulder, calf and foot massage. It was meditative, and if you get bored, this place also has 3 plasmas playing CNN, chinese variety shows, and hipster softporn from showtime or something. Sometime to be said about foot massage
Anyhow, we had our heart set on the Boiling Crab SG, but it was strangly closed down for the weekend. It was not to be. So, we headed up Valley to Atlantic, and ended up at Ocean Seafood, just north of Garvey, in their lobby, and sitting on a red pleather couch sipping Moutai rice wine
and waiting 20 minutes for a table because there were 2 weddings at the restaurant -- one with 500 folks, and the other with 150. We ordered the Perfect meal. Sizzling Oysters with ginger and scallion, steamed Crab with spicy glass noodles and pork, scallops with black bean and chili, steamed rock cod, and prawns with spicy salt. The rock cod disintegrated in your mouth, and everything just kind of melded perfectly.
We washed it down with Tea and Beard Papa, all with two minutes to spare. You couldn't really have planned it any better. Obviously, I am pleased quite easily, but it's the simple , tasty things that count.
