Lia Loves Liang's

During soccer season this year with Max we pretty much had to eat out every Wednesday night. I definitely wasn't on top of packing some kind of dinner every week for us to picnic after his practices. His practices were at 5:30 on Wednesdays about 30mins from our house so it was kind of crazy trying to get there in rush hour traffic, entertain Lia for an hour in the cold (it would get dark and cold half way through). We survived and Max had a blast, but by 6:30 we were ALL starving.

Once in a while Tyler was able to meet us after work so we could get dinner together. On a recommendation from a blog and Yelp (best app ever) we found Mama Liang's Kitchen -- a Taiwanese noodle restaurant. It's a chain out of Northern California that serves yummy Taiwanese foods and soups with hand pulled noodles. The noodles are really thick and chewy. SO good! We really like this place. I'm sure there are better places, and since we aren't Taiwanese we don't know any better!

Well, Lia has fallen in LOVE with Liang's. Like, seriously loves it. We ordered beef noodle soup, beef pancakes, a special red pork and she devoured EVERYTHING. She couldn't get enough!! We tried giving her the soup and noodles separately so she could eat them easier and she insisted they go right into her soup like we were eating. She ate so much pork we though she would pop and she slurped up all that broth (which was slightly spicy) like she was famished. This girl LOVES Asian food! Her new love of Taiwanese noodle soup goes right along side her love of sushi and miso soup and rice and noodles.
