Weekend Report -> KNH Buffet

Food this weekend ->
Went to the Kanata Noodle House Buffet on Sunday for Susanna's birthday lunch.  I ate so much.  I had 4 plates of food, including about 18 big shrimps with head on and 3 rice wraps.  They no longer have mini-rice wraps.  They now serve full size rice wraps, but you have to ask for them.  The fresh pad thai was good too, but it was even better with stir fried beef instead of the chicken.  I'll have to order pad thai with beef next time at KNH.

I also ate 2 bowls of the coconut milk drink with jelly, red beans, and green beans.  It's way easier to eat this drink in a soup bowl instead of a glass.

The food was excellent, but the service was horrible.  The 4 waiters/waitresses on duty didn't bring water refills the whole time we were there (1pm to 3pm) until I went up to interrupt their group chat to ask for water (the water brought was luke warm too).  This really annoyed me as the place wasn't that busy.  

Useless Gaming News:
The plan was to play 6 player board games at my place on Saturday, but Gen and Garth had another commitment to go to, and Julie wasn't feeling well.  So only Arseni, Jeremy and I played.  We played Tapestry and Cloudspire.  I rocked Tapestry in one game with almost 300 points.

Went to KNH with Reza, Steve, and Marc on Wednesday.  Reza told us about all the great perks of his new job and company.  It sounded amazing.  We have nothing compared to his new company.
It was cold on Wednesday, so I order a hot pho bowl.  I got the #15 Medium.  It was super tasty with lots of meat :)

Pho #15 Medium.

Made chicken stew on Saturday.  I boiled 4 chicken legs in water with yellow onions, garlic, dashi, fish sauce, and yellow potatoes.  I thickened the stew with rue made with milk, flour and butter.  When it was mostly cooked, I shredded the chicken legs so there was chick in every bite.

I served it over leftover chicken rice.  The stew was so good and had a great flavour.  I think it was mainly due to the dashi and fish sauce.

Useless Underwear News:
Checked out the "Lazy One" pop-up store at Bayshore.  It's a PJ and boxer shorts store.  This one caught my eye "Silent but Deadly".  My Chinese zodiac is "snake" and it fits my fongpay ID name.  I didn't buy it, but I think I will go back and get it.  I think it was 50% off too.

Susanna and I went to Chinatown on Saturday morning.  We got some freshly made Vietnamese Subs.

Threw out the green stuff (coriander) in my subs.  Nasty stuff :)

I also got some BBQ pork buns and deep fried curry buns from Kowloon Market.  They were fresh and hot out on the display.

The last thing I got was some BBQ pork and a whole soy chicken.  I put them together in a tray for the Softball Party Saturday night.

Softball party was lots of fun.  Tons of food to eat and drink, fun games, and heard some embarrassing Stefano stories.

Useless Transformers News:
Picked up a couple new Transformers from Baseline Walmart last week.  I got Bluestreak and Thundercracker.  Didn't see any Soundblasters left of the 35th Anniversary Transformers Display.  I found these 2 on the shelf.

Food this weekend ->
Got live blue crabs from the Asian grocery store in Kanata.  They were a medium to medium-small size this week, so 5 made a good snack.   They only came to $7.05 too.

I also got some Rideau Restaurant takeout on Friday night.  Got an order of beef chow mein and shrimp in lobster sauce.

Rideau Takeout and Apple Pie.

The shrimp in lobster sauce was so good mixed with white rice.
Dessert was a discounted apple pie.  I can't believe I ate the whole pie in 2 days.

Useless Halloween News:
Celebrated Halloween at work on the 30th.  I figured we would get a sugar rush early and not get all the sugar on just the 31st.  I called it "Merry Halloween Eve".  We had 200 chocolates, chips, popcorn and even a cake.  All for only $60.

Useless Transformer News:
Got the exclusive Transformers: Siege Smokescreen from Toys R Us in the mail. 

Smokescreen.

EB Games had the exclusive at first, but only ordered enough for pre-orders.  I didn't pre-order, so I'm glad TRU took over the exclusive.

Got the ComicCon exclusive BotBots in a different package.

Still missing 2 BotBots from Series 2: #22 and #24.

Useless Gaming News:
Picked up the new Luigi's Mansion 3 on the Nintendo Switch.  This is fun.  You play as Luigi searching a haunted hotel for Mario, Peach, and 3 Toads, all the while solving puzzles and capturing ghosts.  I'm still on the first 5 floors of the 15 floor hotel.

Also picked up a new board game: Tapestry.  Out of the Box had an extra copy and held it for me.  It's sold out everywhere!

6 Player games at Anthony's on Saturday.  We played Fibbage 2, One Word, Telestrations, and then more Fibbage 2.
