Bistro Beaux (Torrance)

Food 17: South Bay

Take a little break from NY. ^_^ Back to Bistro Beaux, the western style Izakaya. Again wish there were more people so we could order more! Same as last time, we got the Baked Oyster with white sauce and Mushroom with Uni. In addition we also got Beef Takaki salad and Squid Risotto. Both are very good, especially the Squid risotto, though it's definitely not a dish to get if you're on a date because your lips and teeth get stained ^^;;; Forgot the exact name of the dessert, it's some sort of frozen coconut flan thing. All the stuffs we got are the heavy type so afterward I felt a little sick from eating too much! Next time make sure get more salad or soup type stuffs for balance.

oh yeah S, we had entries done on Blue marlin too (check under Food 11: Sawtelle in Catergory Archieve)! But I felt that their quality is not as good as before, the uni spagehtti I had last time I was there was overly water down.

Food club? Great idea! but.we might be oo lazy in organizing hehe...
