Crab and Karaoke - A Winning Combination

December 21, 2008

On Saturday night, my friends took me out for dinner and fun for my birthday (on Sunday). Whee!

For dinner, we went to PPQ Dungeness Crab, a Vietnamese Restaurant that's a local favorite (secret?), well-known for its various dungeness crab dishes. As we were a big group, we had the pre-planned set menu and all dug in with our "Let's Get Crackin'" bibs:
  • Imperial Rolls
  • Papaya Salad with Beef
  • Roasted Crab
  • Peppercorn Crab
  • Five Spices Chicken
  • Steamed Shitake Sea Bass
  • Braised String Beans
  • House Garlic Noodles
  • Shaking Beef
My faves: imperial rolls, five-spiced chicken, sea bass, garlic noodles, and the roasted crab. Yumm!





Vicki was also in town, and I was so excited when I also saw Ashley, she happened to be in town for the holidays and surprised us by showing up to dinner!





Dessert was a delicious chocolate mousse and pecan cake from Blissful Bites. Delish!


After dinner, most of us headed over to Japantown to sing karaoke at Playground. Wendy had booked us a big private room, so we could sing to our heart's delight.











Karaoke was awesome, in addition to my favorite all-time song to sing of "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey, honorable mentions for best group participation and most fun go to:
  • "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship
  • "Island in the Sun" by Weezer
  • "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor
Hilarious times!

Thanks to everyone who were able to make it, the dinner was fantastic and the karaoke was too much fun. I heart my friends!
