Lots of Work with Splashes of Food

Food this week ->
Been uber busy with work the past couple weeks and weekends.  I was working til 12:30am Wednesday night!  Hopefully I won't need to work over the long weekend.

On Tuesday Ed, Steve and I went out for to use up some of Ed's Tim Horton's gift card.  We got a coffee and a couple donuts each.  This became my lunch.  Thanks Ed.

Free Snacks... Lunch.

Tuesday night, I made a quick dinner with canned beans, insta-pot steamed gai lan, and microwaved thick cut bacon. 

Overcooked Gai Lan.

Cooking the gai lan in the insta-pot was not good.  Way too over cooked.  Won't be doing that again.

For a late lunch on Wednesday, Julie and I went to Dumpling? Dumpling!  We got some bubble teas, pan fried beef & onion curry dumplings, and steamed egg, chives & shrimp dumplings.

Mmm... Dumplings.

The beef & onion curry dumplings were really good as usual.  The egg, chives & shrimp were not that good.  It tastes only of chives.  A couple small shrimp pieces mixed with the egg didn't give it any more flavour.

Today, Ed, Steve and I went to Ox Head 2.  We all got the Ox Head vermicelli. 

Smaller Portion Than Before...

I was still very good with lots of good meat, but we noticed it was definitely a noticeable smaller portion size than before.  The place was empty with just us, while the parking lot was full.  KNH has definitely hitting this place hard.  Too bad as their vermicelli is better than KNH, but KNH is better at everything else.

Useless Food News:
Drove by the new Chinese Restaurant on March Rd (where Urban Turban used to be located).  It's not open yet (same for the new bubble tea place beside it), but it's got a new fancy gold sign and name, "Harbin Chinese Casserole Restaurant".  Waiting for it to open to try it out.

Will This Place Be Good?
