Ho Sai Kai Chinese Restaurant is on 37th Street and Western Boulevard.
Today was my second visit. The first experience was good clean food with a clean open space. There are traditional decorative art pieces that they sell in their restaurant. The restaurant is owned by a very nice man and his wife. The food at Ho Sai Kai is fresh and clean without an overabundance of oil. The shrimp fried rice can be ordered with either small or large shrimp, a two dollar difference. The dish had good character with fresh scallion onions. I even got a fortune cookie at the end of my meal, knowing that I was going to eat ice cream after this. I am admired by a blue eyed man!
Later that day on Western and 76th Street I visited Gwen's Double Dip Ice Cream Shop. I was taking a picture of the store front when a young man asked if I was buying the place. I answered "no" and he replied that the new modern style car wash was his. They were out of vanilla so I ordered the pecan praline. The first bite I knew it was good, but it got better when the ice cream began to melt. I tasted the richness of the flavor, then, plenty of pralines. I had to keep the ice cream from melting when I entered my car on Western. I blew the a/c as I drove off, back to work at PIC. I got to the end, the ice cream cone was gone yet I found the cone to be stale. The ice cream was so good that I will go back to Gwen's soon to try their bubble gum ice cream and maybe order the waffle cone instead.
