This is all about cariso's adventure in Milpitas, California of USA during Jun/Jul 2006 (3-week-stay). She flied there alone. She went for food hunting alone. She drove to work alone. Syiok! She travelled to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, San Francisco, Sausalito, Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood, LA-Universal Studio and Santa Monica. SAN FRANCISCO is cool man! She loves it!

Las Vegas Day

One night stay at Las Vegas was definitely too short for us. We did not even have the chance to go into casino to try our luck leh. Anyhow, boh huat tor lah since our schedule was very packed. Therefore we allocated a few hours in the next morning to have a photo tour before departing back to MP.

OK, we were behind our schedule. We must not stop halfway to have lunch, therefore we ta pao burgers from Burger King. Due to Memorial Day, there were a lot of traffic along the highway and we were stuck also at many places along the way back. Argh!

I started working on Tuesday (30.5.06). I was all on my own during lunch for the whole three weeks except the first day. I went to taste all the different restaurants (within 1 hr can kao tim one) almost everyday. :) The most impressive one is the Happy Buffet (that serves in buffet style, china dishes of seafood, salad, BBQ, sushi & etc). It is always full house during lunch and dinner. The Fu Zhou fish balls, you must not miss OK?! You must not delay taking them if not they will soon all disappearing into other ppl's bowls. The food are all very yummy! The lunch buffet is less than USD10.00. For the dinner it is USD15.15 got raw salmon (sashimi) - take as much as you can, no limit hoho! Address : Happy Buffet (24S. Abbott Ave., Milpitas, CA 95035).

Their wan tan mee only comes with soup, no 'kon lou' one. This is an awful match : wan tan mee with broccoli !!! Argh, over here almost everything matches with broccoli. I ate a lot until one fine day when we got the chance to eat 'zhu char' at Qing Zheng Yi Tiao Long (清真一条龙Darda Seafood Restaurant, 296 Barber Court, MP, CA 95035), I requested the rest not to order any dishes which come with broccoli anymore. Beh tong liao. :)
