Sunday we didn’t go visit Grammie & Grampie because the brat kept waking up the whole night. So we decided to stay in .. and get some shopping done. We had lunch at Jungle Jims once again.. and this is a ceasar salad that i had started with. Wasn’t bad at all.. and good value for money too.. because it came as a special with a main course at only $2.99. I was the only one who ate it.. because PB doesn’t eat grass.. oops..! i meant greens.

Chilli But Not From Wendy’s

For those who donch know how much I missed our chilli from home.. i have proof to show you..! Donch believe ka..?? not the chilli from Wendy’s ok.. 🙂 coz’ when i tell folks here.. my chilli is spicy.. they laughed and say.. not so.. but they were actually referring to the ones from Wendy’s. So far only Keegan had tried my chilli .. and yesterday .. a brave kid.. by the name of Jay tried it too.. 😉 he didn’t gagged or anything.. so i was really impressed. Check out my prove for my love for chilli here.

Yes..you must all think i am going bonkers.. to call this china pear an exotic fruit. But over here in Canada.. it is considered an exotic fruit.. and not many people has eaten it.. even though they have it on sale at Sobeys. But it is damn expensive .. man..!! For something like this back home.. when we pay $0.40 for it.. we already make so much noise.. but guess how much i paid for this..?? in Canadian dollars please.. hor..! $1.45 for one. In China. .we get a dozen for USD$1 only. So you tell me lah.. Exotic fruit or not..??

We can’t get lotus roots here in Yarmouth. But when I do.. i try my best to get some. Since the lotus roots donch last a long time, i can’t buy alot of it. I donch have dried oysters.. or dried scallops.. so i do what i do best.. and use what i can find. Lotus Root soup with red dates and wolfberries.. and stewing pork. Slow cook for 4 hrs.. and drink. For those who can get all the ingredients.. back home.. everytime you drink some soup.. count your blessings.. because i get to drink it maybe once every 6 months.

We try to hit Swiss Chalet at least once.. when we are up .. in Halifax. PB is big on Swiss Chalet.. and since he is so good.. and all driving me up there.. and letting me eat whatever i want.. i’ve gotta be nice too right..?? and let him eat something he likes. There there.. you see it folk.. a quarter chicken is what he always order.. and same here. Swiss Chalet is cheap.. but it’s not as good as they had it many years ago.. anymore… mixed vegies.. just some cauliflowers.. and broccoli that he hates.

We usually donch go for dessert when we do eat out, but since we were up in the city. .and the brat didn’t wanna eat alot, we decided to order the Swiss Alps Chocolate Layer Cake. A mountain of layered chocolate cake with genuine fudge icing, served with real whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. This was from Swiss Chalet.. .any Canadian city will have a Swiss Chalet.

Alot of my friends and blogger friends .. knows that for every birthday.. my MIL makes the birthday cake. And this year .. it is of course no difference.. for PB. This is the birthday cake that my MIL made for PB .. without the recipe.. because i had her recipe.. muahahhaahha!! The “ang mohs” are great bakers .. i’ll have to say. You all know that my FIL makes the best chocolate and peanut fudge right..?? I wished i can send some to all of you to try. But i guess . .only Vien will be able to try it.. because she is the nearest to me.. 😉

Sushi @ Hamachi

We didn’t managed to eat at Dharma Sushi .. and that is my greatest regret.. but the folks at Hamachi although very nice and accomodating, they certainly donch know what they are selling. An “ang moh” chef in the kitchen.. and a chinese sushi master .. doesn’t really sound promising at all.

The sashimi set that i ordered weren’t fresh, the octopus cannot be eaten because it was too tough.. and the sashimi were thick slabs of fish.. that weren’t delicate at all.

We brought back some mee pok and fish cake.. to make our own “kon low” noodles. The brat loves the noodles.. but refuses to eat the fish cake. If you donch know by now.. we donch have fish cakes nor mee pok here. So i was trying to stock up .. when i was in the city last week.. but the asian grocery store didn’t have alot to offer either.. ! what a bummer..!! The mee pok was great.. and i still have some left. So Barb.. this is what I brought back.
