Green Island: Visit #3

This has truly become our Sunday lunch place/ restaurant to go to at anytime. New tradition for 2009...but for this time we tried the pot rice and the braised duck with taro which were some items I haven't written about before. The top photo shows how the restaurant looks like in the back; most people come in this way. The door brings you to a hallway that looks like this. The restrooms and the drink prep area are all here, as well as where they store their menus :). Drinks Area Interior Shot For this visit, we sat near the window, as we wanted to have a view. But...that decision was a VERY bad decision. One should not sit near the window, unless they have no choice. It was scary. Do you know what happened? Because the windows are floor to ceiling, people can watch in. But what was scary was this old lady in a wheelchair. Now, I don't mean to be a mean person, but this lady was intruding our privacy. She actually would stop at each table near the window, and give us all a STARE...

Green Island: 2009 Visit #2 (Lunch)

Hahaha. Here again! You must be thinking...it's only been 10 days since you last visited here . We'll, we were looking for lunch, and so we were picking between here or Garden Cafe. We picked here, as we like the food here better. Plus, there is another reason why I am writing this today. 4 out of 5 items I did not write about before, and so that is why :). We did this on purpose as we were eating too many of the same things, which in return gets BORING. How many times now did you order rice noodle, EatTravelEat? More than 3 times. WOW. Anyway, we went at around 12, but as it started to reach 1 o' clock, people were WAITING for a table! That is late for our standards. It seems like everything in Temple City is later by an hour, especially eating times. By 1, Arcadia would have been less busy, while at 12 or before it would be full. We ordered 5 things, but we should have ordered 4. But since it was lunchtime, there was still the Business lunch (how ironic for a Sunday!), an...

Green Island: Modern and Delicious

One of the newest restaurants in Temple City on Las Tunas Blvd., we recognized this restaurant before its opening, and thought we should visit it when it is open someday. One day, one of our family members ate here and said it was pretty good. Their friend even said it was really scrumptious. And so, one day, we visited this place, and discovered it to be a really yummy restaurant that had great parking (parking lot in back with lots of spaces), location (go down a street and you'll enter the 10 freeway...close to Arcadia), and food...you know the rest! We've been coming here to the fact I have now gathered 35 photos! I recognized to be this: If I don't post and organize these photos together, the longer the queue it will be. The longer queue it is, more photos will be waiting and so will be more dishes to comment on. So I decided to do more of a photo style report on this place.
