Next, in our attempt to catch up on 2008's culinary adventures, is Andrea's birthday dinner at the swanky Vietnamese restaurant, Tamarine, one of Palo Alto's best restaurants. We began with the Ha Long Bay Soup, which I (Suni) don't remember very well because it is SEPTEMBER as I write this. Next, however, is the shrimp cupcake, which we CERTAINLY remember not only because of its buttery, flaky pastry crust, but also because it's one of the best photos we've taken. This was followed by the clay pot cod and shaking beef dishes to round out our meal. Apparently, we enjoyed these dishes enough to avoid leftovers and leave no room for dessert - hence the rare absence of a dessert photo in this blog entry. Enjoy the photos.HA LONG BAY SOUP
