Lime Tree + Silly Friends

There was an awesome deal at Newegg for a 2TB WD My Book that was on sale last week. I quickly logged on and punched in my credit card number that I have memorized by heart and within a few days my new data backup goodie showed up on the doorstep. I <3 UPS/Fedex! 3 years ago I took the plunge and purchased my lovely MBP after longing after it for some time. I never utilized the Time Machine aspect of the computer until now. I’ve been living in constant fear that my computer is going to crash and I’ll lose all my images so I’ve been refusing to delete them off of the memory card. I guess I finally spent enough money in memory cards and finally ponied up to buy an external HD to use as backup when my camera started telling me that I had memory to shoot 40 more images. Oops!

Doing the insanely long back up since I’ve never Time Machined before, I came across some old photos of when my friend Tiffany flew up from San Diego to visit. Some other fellow UCSD friends joined us on a food journey that started with the dry fried chicken wings at San Tung, followed immediately with a full lunch at Lime Tree and then the drive up to Napa to indulge in some EtOH. đŸ˜‰ We hit up a handful of wineries starting with V.Sattui (which I think is over-rated!), Peju (AMAZING!), taking pictures of Opus One, hitting up a few more smaller wineries and wrapping up the day at Folie A Deux. I then drove the three happy buzzed people back to PA where we met up with more friends and had dinner at La Bodeguita del Medio.

It was a day filled with great food, lots of fun and plenty of good company. I wanted to blog about the amazing food we ate at Lime Tree; it was so good that we dug in before I remembered to pull out my camera to nab a few shots. I had to creatively angle the shots to cover up the bite marks/missing portions.

The roti prata was perfectly flakey, CHEAP very well priced!! and came with an excellent dipping sauce. The owner/chef, Ming, is awesome!

My go to dish. Every trip to Lime Tree for me includes a plate of the Curry Noodles. Usually I’ll order two more orders to go so I can slowly eat it throughout the week.

Everyone eyeing the crab… notice that the roti’s gone, curry dipping sauce is gone, fried rice is half eaten and we’ve divied up half of the curry noodles already. The star of the restaurant is the Singaporean Chili Crab. DELICIOUS!!

Mr. Crab in all of his fine glory!

Love this hole in the wall and always looking forward to hosting friends from out of town!
