Mochi and Maxwell

Just sharing some photos of the kitties…

Mochi

Mochi loves her feather toy.

Maxwell enjoying a nap on Ron. I think he was hot so stretching to cool down… or else he’s stretching out to make sure Ron’s still there.

Catch Isle

Tonight I went out with Vicki for some shopping and dinner. We went around looking for some boots but I wasn’t able to find anything I really liked. But we ended up having a pretty good dinner.

We were in the Westfield Shopping Centre and went downstairs to the food court. We decided to try Catch Isle. I hadn’t seen this place the last time I ate in the mall… which was probably in September.

We shared the artichoke appetizer. The artichokes weren’t very “meaty” but the aioli was tasty.

We also had the mussels with fries (also an appetizer). The fries were a bit salty and the mussels a bit “fishy” but the broth was not bad. Not quite comparable to Belgium and France.

It was a nice warm San Francisco evening. A good way to start the weekend.

The Spot Lounge

We had dinner at Spot Lounge tonight. We’ve been wanting to go back to try their food ever since we went there for their yummy soju cocktails.

We ordered the rice cakes with ramen in spicy sauce. The sauce was sweet and spicy. Strangely, the dish tasted better once it cooled down.

This is their chicken wings with special sauce. Nice and crispy but maybe not enough sauce.

Kimchi tofu soup. A bit sour for my taste.

Their side dishes. My favorite was the pickled preserved vegetables.

The fried prawns served with thousand island dressing.

The kalbi. The meat was a bit fatty and the sauce was very sweet.

The bulgolgi also had a very sweet sauce.

There were five of us and this was a lot of food. We rolled out of there and have enough leftovers for one more meal for two.

I’d recommend this place if you want to enjoy good soju cocktails with your meal. Plus keep an eye out for their specials, like tonight we got 25% off all our appetizers. They have college night, $3 draft beer nights, and more.
