Lunch: In N Out, Millbrae CA
Rating: 3 out of 5
Since 1948, In N Out burger uses fresh beef ground everyday and fresh potatos dice for fresh fries. The place also makes the burger as each order is taken, and the customer waits about 5-10 minutes. The menu is simple: only 4 types of burgers and 1 fries. Nice juicy hamburger meat and good trimming (letteuce, tomato, and onion). The bun could be better, as the pretzel roll bun at Rosebud steakhouse is great for a thick burger. Regardless, the business is not too shabby, as by 11am on a Sunday morning, it was already too busy with the dine-in and the drive-through. There are more locations through CA, AZ, and NV. Overall, much much better than any other fast food burger places out there.
Dinner: China Bee Restaurant, San Mateo CA
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
A good Taiwanese restaurant in a sea of many Chinese dining places. Decided to order Chinese eggplant with basil (very delicious), Mapo tofu (good spice, but not like the eggplant dish), and on the next visit, had the infamous sticking tofu (oh that brought back memories). Traditional Taiwanese cuisine at affordable prices. And you get enough for left overs. What else can you ask for??
