As recommended by some of our friends, Spicy Talk Bistro is an authentic Chinese restaurant. We decided to give it a try.
Here are the dishes we tried:
1. Szechuan Crispy Tofu ($10.95)
The tofu was very crispy with a hint of spiciness. This is my favorite out of the other dishes. They also serve some green beans in the dish. I want to say this is a healthy dish as there's tofu, but it's fried, so not sure if I can say that anymore :)

2. Sizzling Beef ($12.95)
We loved this dish, and it's best to eat it when they first serve it!!! i.e. sizzling!!! This dish smells so good! Guess it's because of all the onions on the dish... I was wondering how can I make those mushrooms... and what mushroom is it. I bought different types of mushroom from 99 Ranch this weekend and will do some experiments.

3. Special Chow Mein ($9.25)
Special chow mien means there's shrimps, chicken and beef. I just added the sizzling beef on my noodles so I get more beef! This dish is spicy but not as spicy as the tofu. I don't really prefer thick noodles, but that's a personal preference. Otherwise, I believe Daniel really enjoy this dish.

In general, the portions served by Spicy Talk were big, so even the price maybe higher than some other Chinese restaurants, their quantity was generous. The inside of the bistro was a very typical Chinese restaurant look, they also had lots of lanterns hanging, guess those were from Chinese New Year? The parking outside the bistro maybe hectic though, we were lucky to find the last available parking slot in the plaza on Friday night. A worthy mention is the exact Chinese translation for the restaurant name is "spicy temptation". I just find the word temptation interesting, and because of this fact, it made me wanting to try this place when I drove by previously.
