Ben and I had lunch at Ikea in Richmond after church service on Sunday. We enjoyed browsing in Ikea while getting our daily walk.
We started off with the Ikea waffles as they were on sale for $1.99, celebrating Swedish Waffle day. I found the waffle doughy. I am not sure what was in the little round pastry, but it was pretty fishy to me. It’s just me because I do not like strong seafood flavour.
We enjoyed Ikea’s coffee. (more…)
Ben and I went to Lansdowne Mall for lunch as we wanted to check out the carnival which takes place every spring break. I also wanted to check out my new cell phone picture quality as I had to let go of my old cell phone and camera which had broke down.
Nowadays, Ben and I cannot eat a lot. We usually share a meal for lunch and the only choice we can have is to go to a food court. Instead of going to our favourite Bubble Waffle Café, we tried Grill King this time. The server must have caught me taking a photo of the stall and he posted a smile for the camera, :-).
We shared the Korean Noodle Soup which was posted on the banner. We opted for grill chicken which was pretty good.
We do not find anything Korean about this noodle soup, just a regular Chinese noodle soup.
The combo meal came with a large cup of milk tea. It was a great deal for less than CAD7.00.
After lunch, we went outside to check out the carnival. This year, the carnival took place from 16th March to 25 March, 2018. (more…)
Lorna invited me to the “Friends of Tai Chi Chinese New Year Celebration Dinner” again this year. She is a loyal supporter of her Tai Chi master.
The master Tai Chi in action.
This year’s celebration was held in Shiang Garden in Richmond.
The first course was Peking Duck served in pancake. The duck meat was thinly slice and we help ourselves in making a wrap with the pancake, green onion and hoisin sauce. I have to apologize for the poor photo quality as my camera just broke down as the food arrived at the table. I have to take the photos with my crummy cell phone.
Next came the Fish Maw Soup which we enjoyed with some vinegar. (more…)
My family has not been to Silver Tower Cafe for dinner for a while, simply because finding a parking in this strip mall is quite slim.
We were lucky this particular weekend as we found one right in front of the restaurant when we arrived just after 5PM.
One of the most likable feature of Hong Kong cafe is the free drink that comes with your meal. I had a hot almond drink while Ben and Nanzaro had a cold chocolate drink and iced lemon tea respectively. Silver Tower does not charge extra for cold drink, a plus point.
Nanzaro ordered the Duck Meat with Preserved Vegetable Fried Rice. The serving is big. (more…)
John 3:16 Malaysian Delight finally reopened on No. 3 Road, across the City Hall. We had been anticipating the opening date since the sign put was last year. It has…
When we go out as a family of four to Szechuan Delicous, we usually order the Combo for four. However, this time, there were only three of us, so we…
Ben and I went to Prata-Man for lunch on a Sunday afternoon after church service.
We arrived around 1PM and the restaurant was full. But we did not have to wait long for a table.
The menu seems to have been simplified compared to our previous visit here. You can click on the menu to have a larger view.
Ben ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice. He originally wanted to order the Mee Goreng but when he saw the dish from a neighboring table, he changed his mine. The chicken was served boneless.
Ben enjoyed the oily rice which came with his Hainanese chicken. (more…)
Nanzaro went to the Richmond Center foodcourt for lunch during one of his school day.
He went to OPA! as he likes middle eastern type of cuisine. OPA! is Greek.
He had the Greek Feast sans the Greek Salad. He does not like cucumber and tomatoes. (more…)
Ben went to look out for another BBQ place. The Parker Place BBQ is always busy with a long line. He decided to try out the roast pork from Kowloon…
I attended a dinner organized by several of the praise dance groups at the Mui Garden Restaurant on Minoru Boulevard, Richmond.
The dinner was scheduled at 7:15PM. I got a ride from Maria along with two other members. We arrived five minutes before 7:00PM and the parking lot (including the roof parking) was full. We had no choice but to park our car at Richmond Center and take a walk through the shopping mall.
Since we had 40 over people, we were seated at the private room at the back.
Condiments on table include ginger and green onion sauce and chili sauce for their signature Hainanese Chicken dish. There is also some peanuts for snacking.
Carol shared with us some pickled dried plum that she brought back from Taiwan.
One of the organizer, Perry (not sure of the spelling), brought dried chrysanthemum for everyone to have our own chrysanthemum flavoured water. She is health conscious and considerate as she does not want us to have trouble sleeping from drinking Chinese tea at night. (more…)
