Marina Food in Foster City

Believe it or not but Dad and Mom wanted to go back to the city to have  Crustacean again for crabs for the third time!! I am telling you, we look like oysters and crabs already 🙂

Good thing Pepe suggested something else! haha!!  He pointed us to Marina Plaza which is an Asian plaza.  It seems like the Asians are invading America!! 🙂  Maybe that is why there are many good Asian restos in the area!

Pepe said to go to the Fresh Seafood section to buy the Dungeness crabs and just cook it yourself at home!  Good idea! 🙂  Apparently, everyone had the same idea! Long lines at the counter

It’s around US$ 40.00 per crab at Thanh Long and Crustacean so maybe this plan will cost 1/4 of that though we don’t know the secret recipe of the House of An 🙂
