Last weekend we went to Berkeley for Cal’s Day – a day in which UC Berkeley opens to the public with a myriad of activities for adults and children. The kids saw and got to play with lots of animals, made pottery and watch African dance.
Mika and I were quite hungry in the midst of this all and decided to go off-campus for lunch. I wanted a place where we could sit down, and my first choice was La Vals, a pizzeria I frequented during my college days, but it has closed down. After much discussion we decided on the Chinese restaurant in that tiny restaurant mini-mall almost in front of the old La Vals building. There is a donut shop there, and there used to be a Nation’s, again, in my college days.
I have no idea what the restaurant was called but it was very good. I had a huge portion of crispy chicken – very much like Hawaiian katsu – which was impeccably fried and quite tasty with the accompanying sauce. Mika had the chicken chow mein, again a huge portion, and she loved the chicken. I thought it was very tasty too, a couple of notches above your run of the mill chow mein. I don’t remember the prices, but they were quite reasonable. If I was in the neighborhood and wanted some Chinese, I’d definitely go back.
