My friends and I were at the San Diego Zoo and they told me about a Chinese restaurant they ate at and enjoyed. They were planning to go again and invited me along. I got the address from one of them and I also asked for the name. But all she had were the three Chinese characters and didn't have any American name to give me. In that situation, I double-checked the address and realized I had written down the wrong address. I was satisfied with what I was given and upon arriving, there were many Chinese restaurants, but I parked in front of the one with three Chinese characters, also named Spicy City.

| Some vegetable dish. |
When I called my friend, she had, in the time after leaving the San Diego Zoo, determined the name of the restaurant to be Spicy City. Thus, I successfully arrived at the correct location. In hindsight, if I was given the link with the image of the characters, as suggested by a friend of the friend, I would have been able to confirm if I had arrived at the right location without calling my friend.

| Some meat dish with garlic. |
The first shared dish was a frog dish. It was spicy and good.
The second shared dish was a vegetable dish. It was also good.
The third shared dish was the dish I chose and unfortunately it tasted a little burnt. The amount of garlic used also made it strong. I remember when the dish was first brought to the table and the smell just hit my nose from about two feet away. Thank goodness the smell doesn't linger.

| Rice noodle soup. |
I'm also glad I got the rice noodle soup. It was like getting a big bowl of rice. By the end of the day, we were a table of four and each person paid about $15 before tip. 6:55PM PT
