oakland: le cheval

so i was in oakland the other other day and took the opportunity to hang out with some of my friends. g decided that since we were car-less, we had to go somewhere close to a bart station. so we were off to le cheval -- supposedly vietnamese food.



we had the snow pea shoots, which was fresh, crisp and good.



the singapore noodles with chicken and veggies was supposed to be spicy. it was not. it tasted like it was drenched in curry powder though.



the lemongrass pork chop was pretty tasty. it had a nice char taste and had some bit of sweetness. i enjoyed it very much.



i think le cheval was fine. we did end up paying about $30 a pop with a bottle of wine and 2 beers. i think it's a bit pricey for what it was. there were definitely hits and misses. but for options around the 12th street bart, it was just fine.
