Food 07: Mid-Wilshire

DSC03713.jpgDSC03714.jpgDSC03715.jpgBack to Prado! Went with Michelle and few other producers, one of them is leaving the company soon so he wanted a big meal for his last week. We got a pitcher of Sangaria. All the plates look similar but they do taste different ^^;;. Michelle got the Cool sampler which has poached salmon with a side of tomatillo salsa and dill sauce and a salad with papya and pinapple and avocado, as well as a curry salad with apples and chicken. Paella, a lunch special. Blackened Chicken. They all taste good according to the them :)

DSC03716.jpgDSC03717.jpg sword fish, a lunch special. I got the Prado Sampler, it's a very good plate to get to try various stuffs. I can't really remember exactly what they're, but there's tamale, crab cake, some potato thing, shrimp, plantain, and some sort of fish (on the left)? Everything is delicious! The yellow rice on most everyone's plate is come-with side dish which is very good too.

It'll be sad if people really take the story as realistic portrayal of Geisha life or something (which there must be, or loving it coz it's so exotic). Really it's just reminiscent of Asian soap operas/shoujo manga...which is always a guilty pleasure to read. The characters are so stock archetypal to feel real, like the bad mean bitch existing only to be mean and be defeated for no other reason... ^^;;
Hey hey lemme upload 'something' for you to preview on your school server (won't mention what it is on public web but you know what we worked on that is related to this comment...) ;)

The comment box for Memoirs of a Geisha is closed so I am writing here - I bought the book at Vancouver's airport for the long flight back and just finished it. I re-read your comments and I so so so agree with you that it feels so unrealistic fairy-tale Charles Dickens girlish soap opera...it was quite entertaining at some points even though I was constantly getting goose pimples and rolling my eyes, e.g.Sayuri looking at the sunset and being admired by an artist, Sayuri giving seductive looks to make some young delivery boy drop dead on the street, just-won't-stop refering to her blue/gray eyes which is the most ridiculous made-up non-sense a healthy human being can think of. ^^;;; I am kinda sorry for all the real geisha who will have to see it turn into a movie, which will definitely further damage their image...
