San Diego

K-bao's spending a few days in San Diego, her first visit to the sunny city of Saint Didacus. She spent the afternoon checking out Old San Diego and the Gaslamp Quarters, sampling savory crepes at the Cremerie Chocolat and breathing in the salty sea air. She ended up at the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner, where she polished off a plate of pasta with grated mizithra cheese and browned butter ("More!"), topped off with apple sauce and a few bites of K-Pop's ice cream. Good times.

Lady & the Tramp

K-bao is a voracious consumer of noodles. On a cold and rainy Sunday, K-Mum and K-Pop took the little one to one of our favorite Chinese eats, Everyday Beijing, for beef noodle soup and leek boxes. We watched in astonishment as K-bao clutched noodle after sticky noodle and shoveled them into her mouth for 30 minutes straight, eerily quiet other than some satisfied slurps.

We've seen some noodle-lovin' from her before with the chicken garlic noodle dish from Ah Lin's and even the frozen porcini mushroom flavored noodles from Trader Joe's, but not to this extent. Pizza, toast, various breads and rices - K-bao will gladly pass. But noodles? Any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Good Eats

One of K-bao's favorite restaurants is Everyday Beijing in San Mateo, a wonderful and down-to-earth assemblage of culinary delights of the noodle and dumpling variety.

Here is K-bao perusing the menu and then placing her order with her parents.
