New Oakland Pharmacy Grand Opening

Leave a reply

Today my dad’s company had the grand opening of their newest pharmacy in Oakland Chinatown. The celebration started around 9:30am with my dad making a speech, Alameda County Supervisor Alice Lai-Bitker spoke for a few minutes before the ribbon cutting ceremony and the lion dances. The lion dancers gave a great performance and ended with a bang.

Some people got a sneak peek at the automated prescription packing robot by Parata Systems.

We got stuck at home watching TV, one of my favorite shows “What Not to Wear” on TLC, so were too lazy to go out for dinner. Instead we ordered in because I had gotten this ad in the mail for Osome Sushi that offers free delivery.

Calling at 7:15pm, they estimated delivery in 45 minutes to 1 hour. It showed up around 8pm, so pretty good estimation (but then the place isn’t that far from our apartment, it beats trying to find parking over there then having to come home again). It cost us $26 though and the portions seemed a bit small.

Overall, the fish seemed pretty fresh and the wasabi was really spicy! (Just the way we like it!) Next time I’d like to go there for sit down service and see how it stacks up. They have interesting sake flavor:

Starbucks Salad

There is a Starbucks near my work so I’ll treat myself to a pastry or lunch there every once in a while. I try to avoid the coffee though since I already have my Peet’s coffee in the morning, brewed at home.

Today I tried a Starbucks Curry Chicken Salad over Couscous. I had just seen Rachael Ray on Food Network making Shrimp Curry over Lime Mint Couscous and I wondered if those tastes go together?

Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good. The chicken salad had apples, pineapples, and a sort of thai spiced curry flavor. The couscous was a bit dry but I think it needed to be there or else I’d still have been hungry.

We tried Nubi Yogurt today while visiting Ron’s family in Millbrae. It’s basically a self serve frozen yogurt place and you add your own toppings. Potentially it could be healthy but they have add ins like cookie dough, cheesecake, and mochi… along with fruits. I agree with my bro-in-law Henry that taro is a good flavor.

Not sure how much it costs since it was Henry’s treat but if you’re in Millbrae, I think it’s worth a try.
