Parents went out for dinner on Saturday night.  I had to stay http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com to study for a big test.  (Man, pharmacology is probably the hardest class ever!)  They brought some delicious Chinese food http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  Look You Fan Dim is at the corner of Garfield and Garvey, inside the Hong Kong Supermarket plaza.  Parents saw some ad on Chinese newspaper about their dinner set special and went to check it out.  5 dishes + 1 soup for $38.  Now that's a good deal.


碧綠斑球 Rock Cod Fillet with Vegetable ($7.50)

Rock Cod Fillet with Vegetable was good.  Fish was soft, with tons of veggies.

Last Day of Work

Today is my last working day at my current job. I am going to be laid off at the end of the day. Well, we actually found out the news 1.5 months ago. That was pretty nice of them to let us know early so we can start looking for the next job.

So what is my plan? I am planing to concentrate in school and collect unemployment money (thank you taxpayers!). I should be able to collect the money till next year. Then I graduate! Then I can find an animal job, one that I will really enjoy doing!

So please don't say "oh I'm sorry to hear about your layoff." I am actually quite happy about it. Seems like everything will work out perfectly fine. That's why they (<---- not sure who are they though) say "when a door closes, another door opens."

Now I can totally dedicated to school, sleep for 8 hours a day, go out for dinner and date, and have time to cook! I am so looking forward to 2am tonight when I get off work... for the last time! ^^

Mom's Bento is the Best

I have two more days left at work! Then no more bento.... Oh well, let's see what I ate last week.


3/23/2009

I love my mom's fried vermicelli.  It tasted every "Taiwanese"!  Just love the shitake mushroom in the vercimilli.  And of course, garlic chili sauce form Wonton Forest.  Mom also sauteed some cucumber with leftover roasted duck meat.  Delicious!

Since I didn't really had a satisfying lunch at Dumpling House, I kept on thinking about the big red sing I saw outside of Hop Li Seafood Restaurant.  "ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL.  ALL DIM SUM $1.38."  Now that's a great deal.  Dad was feeling tired and wanted to go http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com to take a nap.  So we walked over to Hop Li to get some dim sum to-go.


乾蒸燒賣 Pork Dumpling Shiu Mai ($1.38)

It was 2pm and we ordered 8 items.  After waiting for 15 minutes, a watreiss brought the order out and told us 4 of the items were sold out.  Well, pretty much all the items with more expensive ingredients were sold out.  We didn't want to wait any longer and just settled for the 4 items.

Pork Dumpling Shiu Mai was good, but nothing too special about it.

My mom absolutely loves the prime rib from Black Angus.  We went to Black Angus on Tuesday for lunch, and found the door locked.  What?  They don't serve lunch anymore?  We went there for lunch before and really enjoyed their lunch special menu.  Could it be bad economy = bad business = no more lunch hour?  Oh well.  So we started driving toward Arcadia.  Dad mentioned he felt like having some noodle.  We passed by Dumpling House and decided it would our randomly picked lunch spot.



I remember this place used to be a Yuen Nan noodle place before.  But that was a long long time ago.  The restuarant had pretty good business for lunch.  Restaurant was 90% full and a few people came in to get to-go.
