restaurant discovery

I finally got the Wendling to go with me to 19 Gold, the Chinese Taiwanese place in lower Fremont. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! They're kind of hardcore: if you ask for spicy you'll get it, and ingredients like lotus root and quail eggs are standard. I had the malatang. Their ordering and payment systems minimize contact with staff, who were masked.

Worth noting:

1. That lychee beverage is beer, not a soft drink. That's right, lychee-flavored beer. I can imagine it being fantastic in warm weather.
2. What they call vermicelli is what I would have called glass noodles.

Romantic? No. Tasty? Hell yes! Reasonably priced? Also yes. A+ will nom again!
