Restaurants

Mama Dut ๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿฅช
We walked around our AirBnb and ran into this Vietnamese Vegan restaurant called Mama Dut. We've ordered the Pekin Duck Banh Mi - it was a bit salty and very interesting. I wouldn't get it again, but I would come back to try something else.



Cart Blocks ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŒฏ๐Ÿšš
Cart blocks is an area where food trucks congregate.



Villa Angel Taqueria ๐ŸŒฎ
I am a big birria fan. I've ordered the Tacos de Birria and it did not disappoint.

Hua Li House ๐Ÿœ
The Good Wife got the Pad See Ew and it was not good. The noodles tasted very fishy as if the noodles were cooked in the same pan as seafood. That dish should be renamed to Pad Sea Ewww and we won't be coming back. It was bad enough that it didn't deserve a photo.

Xing Din Dumpling House ๐ŸฅŸ
For this type of Chinese cuisine, we usually order Cumin Lamb and Mapo Tofu. The food decent, but quite difficult to compare to Chicago's version. We've also ordered Green Onion Pancake, a bit disappointed comparing to what we had at home.


Nike Tour ๐Ÿข

We were very fortunate that Aaron hooked us up with a Nike Tour led by Robert Heinz. I didn't know what to expect of the Nike campus as I've heard great things about it. Surely enough, it felt like a college campus and the architectural layout and construction has a symbolic meaning behind them.

International Rose Test Garden ๐ŸŒน
Lots of different roses here and some were much more floral than others. I have joined dogs in enjoying the olfactory world, sniffing every type of rose there.








Farmers Market ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ“ˆ

We really enjoyed the Farmer's Market - there was a ton of food and samples to try.


Watching the peppers being roasted was mesmerizing.

Some of us had some time to check out the view from the Aerial Tram area.
