Duration: 16 Days 15 Nights (Feb 24~Mar 11, 2015)
Day 7-11: Work, Shop, Eat, Repeat (Same old Same old)
It was a long boring week in San Jose – there were good
food day and bad food day. Breakfast as usual always include scrambled egg
& pork sausage. This week we did play with the self-service waffle machine.
The verdict? Still prefer English muffin with egg & sausage! =P

| Self-made Waffle - EPIC FAIL!!! |
 |
| Waffle as Burger? |
 |
| I think it's best we stick with this... Look at the orange! |
 |
| Favourite Combination |
Lunch was always stolen cereal from hotel breakfast other
than the occasionally ‘business lunch’ in cafeteria. We tried the sweet &
sour chicken rice once and were quite impressed.

 |
| Don't really like this - TOO SWEET! |
 |
| This is my Favourite! |
 |
| This is not bad too! |

Let’s breakdown our dinner by day, shall we?
Monday
The worst dinner we’ve ever tried was at the Chinese
restaurant “Wong Kok” in front of Fairfield on Monday – we tried the Spicy
& Sour Soup & the Wanton Soup and they were both horrendous!!! The spicy
& sour soup tasted like sea water whereby the wanton soup was drenched in
gallons of oil! YUCKS!!! The spicy & sour soup was so bad until i had to throw half of it.

Tuesday
We went to Chipotle again and tried the Burrito Plate
(without wrap) and it was not bad – such big portion!

 |
| With Rice, Vege & Chicken... |
 |
| Colleague's Vietnamese Noodle |
Wednesday
Dinner was at the Great Mall Food court and I got a
chicken gyro. Not as delicious as the one in Santorini (link) but I guess it
was quite healthy with all the vegetables and chicken meat inside.
 |
| Apparently this requires membership to buy stuff - have to leave since we are not member |
 |
| Let's grab a Gyro! |
 |
| A Healthy Dinner! =) |
Thursday
It was a feast on Thursday night when we had the dinner
with US boss at a Chinese restaurant nearby. Apparently he liked the food there
a lot. We had the fish mew & seafood soup (edible but kind of tasteless),
Peking Duck (love the crispy skin), Sweet & Sour Pork (Too much fat layers
in the pork!), Ma Por Beancurd (love this!) & some kind of beans in spicy
sauce. The portion was so big until we could not finish it.

Friday
We took the VTA Light rail to Great Mall station
(USD2/way) and ate dinner at the food court again. We had no idea what to eat
and ended up with Teriyaki chicken rice & Pineapple chicken rice. Both
tasted okay. The wonderful steal that night was the luggage tag + yacht bag
from Samsonite which cost only USD15.99+tax. Oh, that and the Michael Kors Tie
from Marshalls which cost only USD14.99+tax! =)

Oh ya, did i mention we 'witness' some PDA in the train? We were totally at front row seat! People were actually rolling eyes at that. =P
