Silk Road

Came back to Silk Road for dinner

They serve the same menu all day. 

We started with Har Gow (shrimp dumplings) look like how light that skin on that dumpling is.  And turnip cake, that's always a hit. 

Xioa Long Bao (soup dumpling) wish they give us more vinegar.  Then Siu Mai (pork dumpling), it was good. 

Steamed Pork Bun - yum. 

Green beans for some veggies for good measures. 

Crispy Shrimp Cheung Fun - it is actually pretty good, I like the noodle texture, the crispy textures and the soy sauce for the mix.  This is one of their dishes that I'd come back for. 

For dinner, I went ahead and made a reservation and it's a good thing because that night did get busy.  So don't chance it, make the reso.

Sixty Vines

Went over to Rice Village for dinner.

Landed at Sixty Vines.

My tip about coming here, pull up the garage, you get 2 hrs free parking, and it's perfect for dinner.  Save yourself the grief of parking far and walking. 

I had the Missing Thorn Sparkling Rose - it's a N/A but it's dry like a Rose. 

We did the cheese and meat board: with salami and prosciutto, cheese by Cowgirl Creamery made of cow milk and tripled creamed.  It comes with honey comb, almonds, and pita bread.

We got the Burrata, but not realizing it came in toast form.  It sits over a line of pesto, the toast on ciabatta, tomato, garlic, and the burrata on top. 

Got the Brussels sprouts, they are very delicious. 

Shrimp and Bacon Pizza, it's an unusual combo, but not bad.

And of course, everyone's favorite, Braised Pork Pappardelle.  The thick noodle and sauce was such a great match, most delicious. 

As mentioned before, park at the 2nd floor of the garage, it's the closest to the the restaurant.  Another tip, if you checked in upstairs you get to sit upstairs.  If you checked in downstairs but want to sit upstairs, you have to be sure to tell the host staff, otherwise, you'll be seated at the floor you checked in even if you have a reservation.
