The restaurant my best friend and I went to was called P&P Hunan Chinese Restaurant. It is located on the corner of Britain and Laurel Ave in San Carlos, California. P&P Hunan have opened up for about two and a half years the restaurant has already become a very popular place to eat in San Carlos.

Main course was satay beef, ginger chicken and special fried rice. Both meat dishes had broccoli in which hadn’t been washed properly and full of gritty sand.
