Taiwanese Meatball

Thanks to my Plurk friend Ruby for those delicious Taiwanese meatballs. She found the vendor that provides Taiwanese meatballs to Taiwanese restaurants. They offer wholesale price if people place large order. Ruby asked if anyone was interested in ordering the Taiwanese meatballs, and ended up ordering about 300 meatballs.


肉圓 Taiwanese Meatballs ($1.60) / 雞捲 Chicken Roll ($3.00) / 香腸 Taiwanese Sausage ($5.00)

I ordered 12 Taiwanese meatballs, 2 chicken rolls, and 2 Taiwanese sausage.  Half of them are for my parents.  The Taiwanese meatballs were freshly made and ready to eat when I picked them up.  Chicken rolls and sausages were frozen.

[Teddy & Twinkle] Irvine Dog Park Sucks

We took Teddy & Twinkle to Irvine Dog Park yesterday. That place is horrible!! First, it was really dirty. There were dog poos everywhere and even throw-up on the ground. The small dog area is kinda small, but soooooo many dogs. Then there was a big group of Boston Terriers. Those terriers were the bullies at the playground. They attacked poor Twinkle right when she walked in. Then she was traumatized the whole time. She wanted me to hold her and didn't really want to play anymore. When I put her down, she always had her tail between her legs. Poor baby. Teddy still tried to have fun. Whenever those Boston Terriers approached him, he just rolled over and played dead. It was kind of funny. haha... Anyway, I don't think we'll ever go back to that dog park again. Laguna Beach dog park is sooooo much nicer!



Teddy likes to roll around on the ground.

I saw this new restaurant, Deemer's American Grill, after doing grocery shopping at Henry's Market in the same shopping plaza.  Went online to see what kind of food they serve after I got http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  It is one of those gourmet hamburger places.  The burgers look good on the menu.  It's always fun to try a new restaurant.  So Dr. P and I had a burger date on Friday night.



Deemer's is not a big place.  There are a few tables inside, and more tables on the covered patio.

[Teddy & Twinkle] Afternoon Nap

Caught Teddy and Twinkle taking an afternoon nap on the couch.



Teddy was sleeping in a very funny position.  Very... uh... manly I guess.  hahahaha....

I used to get Boba Milk Tea always.  But after I discovered this drink, now I ALWAYS order this one.


蘆薈茉莉綠茶 Jasmine Green Tea w/ Aloe

I love love love love Jasmine Green Tea with Aloe.  Green tea has less sugar and fat than milk tea.  And aloe has more health benefits than starchy boba.

We had dinner plan with Dr. P's cousin's family last night.  They live close to Mas' Islamic Restaurant.  We miss the food from there, and Dr. P's cousin, Bruce, also likes Mas' Islamic.  Perfect place to meet up for dinner.


蒸餃 Steamed Dumplings (8) ($6.95)

Bruce's family said they always order the same 3 items when they go to Mas' Islamic because their kids like them.  Bruce's wife Sarah told me that once they had kids, they started ordering "kids friendly" food.  And their own tastes kind of changed... for the kids.  Parents will do anything for their kids... that's love!  Awww....  One of the items the kids like was Steamed Dumplings.  The beef dumpling had lots of meat juice inside.  It was tasty.

[Cook] Tuna Salad Sandwich

I'm trying to use up food in my pantry and fridge this week. This morning's creation was Tuna Salad Sandwich.


Tuna Salad Sandwich

I don't really know what kind of bread this was.  My mother-in-law gave us the bread to take hom.  It's airy and chewy in the middle.  I cut the bread in middle and stuff it with tuna salad.
