Recently I finished Rick Reilly’s book, Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump (2019), documenting the good deeds Donald Trump (1946-) has done. Trump purchased this property in 1985, and called it the “Winter White House” or “Southern White House” after becoming the 45th President.

In early 1990s, Trump ran into financial problems and wanted to parcel out the property to smaller divisions. The local residents objected and he then turned it into a private club in 1994.

Initially, we planed to go to City Cellar after the concert but it closes at 10pm on weekdays. So we ended up at El Camino, which opens till 1am. Thanks for feeding us.

The place is on the second floor and large. They’ve some very nice murals on the wall and the domed ceiling, and interesting tiles – look like my childhood home’s tiles.

Good wine (Daou Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 & Decoy Merlot 2019), guacamole and empanada. The chips and salsa is so so.

Their Mexican soul food (made by their Ft Lauderdale Mexcal & Tequila Bar?) red sauce is exceptionally good: light and fruitful. I stole purchased a bottle -:)

There are plenty shops, restaurants and pop ups.

Will return.

Lush. Yummy. Good service.

Once in a blue moon, I go to Thai because I find their taste to be bit too sweet. Glad I went today.

Exterior is lush. Many handsome plants and pretty flowers. They’ve outdoor area too. We chose inside, for no apparent reason.

We’ve tried the following three dishes:

– spareribs: chewy, the sauce is good; the redness is normal
– drunken noodles – I’d call it 干炒牛河 yummy
– Laab Kai/chicken salad: good too. We asked for #2 spicy out of 5 levels, which is just right.

Singha beer is so so. The house white which is Woodbridge Chardonnay, is decent. All the veggies are crispy and fresh.

The wood carvings on the bathroom doors are similar to the pieces I just ordered from Amazon, in darker color. Albright I’ve not decided what to do with them yet will figure it out, hopefully soon.
