Max Raabe and the Palast Orchestra: Pop perfection from 1920s Germany

I have fallen head over heels in love with this man, his orchestra, and his music:

K stands for more than sandwiches

Picked up some interesting non-sandwich yummies at K Sandwiches: on the left is banh bot chien, rice flour/taro cakes with scrambled eggs and scallions; on the right a rice noodle salad with bi (shredded pork skin) and assorted garnishes, including coconut milk. Certainly a lot more interesting than a Burger Doodle - and probably healthier too.

"Jane Austen's Fight Club"

I haven't been this entertained by an Internet video meme in ages and ages. And it's really well-done too!

Lunch victory

Had a big argument with myself about where to get lunch and once again Saigon in City Heights won out. Com tam (broken rice) plate w/ grilled marinated pork and bi (shredded pork skin) plus iced coffee. Cheap filling and good.

Interesting eats on the run again

Shredded pork & jellyfish w/ vegetables @ Golden City in Kearny Mesa - from monthly specials menu. Yummy comfort-food Cantonese style light sauce, jellyfish mainly added an interesting texture, slightly chewy-crunchy.
