What I Ate: December 11, 2010 (Fire Bowl Cafe)

Dinner: We returned to Fire Bowl Cafe where I ordered a stir fry with combination chicken, beef, and shrimp (need to remember not to get the shrimp next time as it is Gulf shrimp) with vegetables of my choosing (you just take the bowl given to you and load it up with the vegetables you like - great since I got to get more snow peas than they would have given me and I could mix up the order the way I like it) with Hunan black bean sauce and chow fun. I asked for the sauce to be lighter than usual and it was, but was still a bit heavy (I suppose they needed to make sure all the noodles were properly coated). Tina ordered something similar but opted for white rice and ended up with just the right amount of sauce when she asked for reduced sauce. On the whole, we like the food at Fire Bowl Cafe because it meets expectations and compared to other places serving Asian-ish food, the vegetables are fresh and freshly stir-fried (so not soggy or limp) which makes everything takes a whole lot better.
