I remember Sambo's restaurants.

Amanda likes the color photo better.

Could be a Starbucks anywhere.

Hand pulled noodles: poor photos edition.

The sign in front of the hand-pulled noodle restaurant looks impressive.  Perhaps too impressive you might ask.  But it is not hyperbole.  They pull and roll and cut and cook each bowl of noodles to order.

Unfortunately, it is not very camera friendly, as the kitchen is behind glass, with a lot of glare on it.

I went with the skinny noodles. 

Amanda chose the wide.

And a very satisfying bowl of broth and well stewed meat to accompany.

The birds must be angry here too.

Collect enough grocery store points, throw in some cash, and you too can start collecting pieces of the tea set.
