Tried a new indian restaurant.... didn't look pretty, but five curries on basmati rice.

Leaf lettuce salad with goat cheese, dried cranberries & candied walnuts (got a bit burnt), ranch dressing
boiled baby red potatoes
grilled baby lamb chops
all heavenly

Yeah, it's great!

I particularly enjoy those days where I have nothing on the agenda and free to roam aimlessly wherever it may take me. During one of these (mis)adventures, I somehow ended up somewhere in Chinatown in a specialty Cantonese duck restaurant on the second floor of some mall where I had one of the top 5 roast ducks in my entire life. A bad habit I should endeavor to correct is my utter thoughtlessness at times, and should have either taken a photo of the restaurant's name or take one of their business cards.

Mostly seafood dinner
Dessert : Cheng tng - with barley , dried longans , lychees ..

Japanese food
 

Had some Japanese food with family members tonight.

Some ok sushi, and a nice bento box. A shrimp noodle stir fry was rather mediocre.

Chicagoland for thanksgiving week

Chicken bean soup (homemade gift from a friend)
chicken bahn mi from Bun Mee, Sfo T3
round tortilla chips

Early dinner , ngoh hiang ( 5 spices ) brought by friends .. also mutton soup ( Chinese / Hainanese version ) to be enjoyed later . From a hawker centre towards the north .
The noodles were delicious and soft ( as they should be ) and those fritters were really crispy crunchy .. hit the spot ;)
Quite a good selection chosen . Might have been more but forgot to ask , not sure what else was provided by the store . Probably homemade by the stall owners and not from some central kitchen , except the century egg .

More chocolate cake & a macaron for dessert

Added more yummy mee hoon ( thin rice noodles )

I made a 3 can tuna salad for today’s lunch (and the next two days).

Albacore, celery, onion, pickle relish, salt, pepper, paprika, Mayo.

Served on whole wheat bread today with romaine lettuce. Garnished with Villagio Marzano tomatoes.

Skip the celery and I'd love that. :D

Whole Foods organic roasted chicken and some mac & cheese. Pretty informal Sunday night dinner for us today.

The celery is more for crunch than flavor. I’m not sure I really taste it, although there is a lot of it.
