As part of this Month Travel Adventure Series-Taste of Southern France, THD Activity Directors Karen K and Galen C hosted a Lunch Excursion to La Fontaine Restaurant in Downtown Walnut Creek. I canceled my participation due a conflict on another Ethnic Food Adventure in Concord with my oldest son, Dodie.

Based on my personal interviews from several attendees, the lunch excursion at La Fontaine was a Gastronomic Success. Here are a sample of positive comments from THD residents who participated at the Lunch Excursion.
1. It was fun and a very leisurely lunch. I enjoyed it very much.
2. Yes, it was great. The food was good and THD even paid for our appetizer.
3. Yes, I love the place. It was mostly Italian food and not Southern France at All.
4. The luncheon was marvelous!! The appetizers were delicious. I had a beet salad with prawns that was not remarkable. However the dessert was absolutely awesome. Others had dishes that were very tasty and the presentation excellent. I understand that the soup was very good. The price for food was reasonable. The restaurant was beautiful and the wait staff were delightful. I want to go back with my family.
5. I had a grand time. The food presentation and styling was A plus. I will go back there soon.
6. Besides the delicious food and ambiance, the young Italian waiters were easy to the eyes.

In contrast to the leisurely 2 hr-lunch at La Fontaine, my Filipino Lunch at Ima's Kusina ( Kitchen) in Concord was a take home ( turo-turo) fast food atmosphere. I enjoyed Pork Sinigang💥 (best tasting soup in the world), eggplant omelet ( tortang na talong) and fried boneless milkfish ( bangus) with steam rice and puto( rice cake) for dessert.

The attendees informed me that Karen K took photos during the excursion. I am hoping Karen will share her photos with us soon. Karen showed me a couple of photos at the Pre-Oscar Champagne Reception last night. The photos in her cell phone were enticing. Speaking of the Oscar TV Presentation at our Cinema: The Cinema was full and the Snacks delicious and drinks plentiful and flowing freely. Thank you Karen for being a Great Host.
I guessed the Best Movie, the Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and the Best Actress Award. What's my prize, Karen?
