Working It

Last Friday, our apartment community put together a Food Tasting Event, exclusive for its residents, and participated in by some of the best restaurants in our area. I am going to tell you right now that the following pictures may not be able to do it justice because I was too busy eating and sampling to take decent pictures, hehe.

The restaurants that participated included:

McCormick and Schmicks, which served a wonderful crab cake salad for the day.

FirebirdRotisserie and Sports Grill, which served some really yummy ranch chicken wings, salad, and chili.

They even gave away free lunch coupons so that’s one less meal for me to cook at home, hehe.

Meanwhile, Tin Drum Cafe served three kinds of rolls: the standard spring rolls, crab and cheese rolls (yummy!), and chocolate spring rolls (I must have had four of these! Yum!).

Ninna feasted on baked goodies from Alon’s Bakery. Her favorite (and mine) were the chocolate fudge cookies.

California Pizza Kitchen also had a booth, as did Doc Green’s Gourmet Salad and Grill and Boneheads (I finally got to taste their piri-piri chicken, which I wasn’t able to order before and, yes, it was really good!).

I even took home some of this, Mimi’s Cafe’s spinach and artichoke dip.

The guys from Lucky China brought in various kinds of spring rolls and sushi!

And my personal faves of the day were the smoothies and italian ice samples from Rita’s and Robek’s.

Perfect for that extra warm day.

Drinks were free-flowing, cheesecake bites were abundant, and there was even tropical music playing in the background (that Ninna really enjoyed, hehe!).

What can I say? It was a fun, and definitely filling weekend for us. Truly a passport to pica-pica heaven. I hope they’ll do this every week, haha!
