Meiji Fran Patisserie 3 Nuts! There's also a raisin flavor but I choose this one. Sometimes I don't want to buy all flavors at once because these Japanese snacks is pricey! Like $2 USD -$5 USD for one!! Two snacks can easily be equal to $10 USD for such little amounts. Thinking about it some more. In a way is it a good thing that they give smaller portion and so people is not eating as much? ( Hehe ) As for the taste, I will update this later, forgot what it taste like.
Rat brought home tons of ice cream because it was on sale for $2.50 USD each at the local supermarket. Rat told me the Haagen Dazs White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle taste good. A few times he asked me if I want one but I am trying to resist eating ice cream. I did try one spoon of one of the Haagen-Dazs Frozen Yogurt Vanilla Honey and Granola. It does have a honey flavor, vanilla and small pieces of granola. Though I don't really like the taste of honey in ice creams.
Mum ask me to get some pork chops from Pho 21 Asian Fusion Restaurant located at Mott Street ( NYC ). It cost $2USD for one pork chop!! At a time like this, I need to learn how to make Vietnamese pork chops! I just enjoy eating Vietnamese flavor meat so much! It looks tasty but I did not have that for dinner.
I ate garlic butter chicken wings with fried egg and rice! This time I add more garlic and less butter onto the chicken wings. It was tasty. I did not plan to include the egg in my meal but mum asked me to fried eggs for dinner and so I took one for myself.
There was so much chicken wings. I decided to bake the other half of the wings with some honey. I did mixed the honey with a little bit of hot water and so it can be more liquid like before drizzling it on top of the chicken wings. Mum and dad tried it and they seem to like it. I ate a few piece as well. It have a light honey flavor and it's pretty good. I told Kev I am done with making chicken wings and next I will make chicken drum stick. He laugh but not in a mean way though. So I asked him why he's laughing? He told me how it's basically the same flavor! Thinking about it some more, he's right! So I'm not done with chicken wings, next I might make Korean fried chicken wings or something. ( hahaha )

Pearly is doing good and not going bald. She is looking fluffy again. I'm not sure if Pearly is just experiencing those shedding moments. I even thought of the possibility of stress that might cause her fur to look different. I stopped giving her vitamins because I am too lazy to crush them into powder. Sheep told me LeeLoo would eat the dog vitamins as a treat. Though Pearly just take one sniff and look the other way. I still have half a jar left and I don't want to waste them. Maybe I could give them to LeeLoo. I will do some more research into what natural dog vitamins I can get.
For dinner I brought takeouts from Noodle King Restaurant located at Henry Street ( NYC ).
I ate cashew nut with chicken on rice and some plain boil vegetables. Mum would always want to add some greens into the meal. Though I usually don't want to buy simple plain vegetables from the restaurant.
Lastly I finish off my meal with some warm tofu fa and sweet soy milk I brought from the tofu shop located at Mott Street ( NYC ). Don't have the name of the place. I like getting tofu fa from this tofu shop. Feel that they make the syrup and tofu fa better then any other place that sells them. In a way I prefer eating tofu fa over ice cream.

For lunch I ate poppy seed roll with lettuce and char siu. It's a quick snack and I use left over char siu. In a way it's kind of plain and this sandwich didn't have much flavor to it. I was hungry and so what the heck.
I was so happy when mum brought shrimp home. I told her to buy chicken wings but realize I didn't want to eat chicken wings tonight. So when she told me she got shrimp, I flip through the cookbooks I have and checked online for recipes. Though nothing really catch my eye. I finally decided to make shrimp chow mein. I did not follow the recipe on the Vietnamese cookbook because I didn't have all the ingredients. This is the first time making crispy fried noodle with shrimp, egg, char siu, peas and carrots. I didn't have the right noodle to make this dish but I got something similar. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the noodle before frying just so the noodle would have some flavor to it. I did add an egg on the noodle while frying which was not a good idea. The egg made the center of the noodle soft and sponge like. Though I learn to fry the shrimp from Kev. I use to just put it on the pan with very little oil to cook the shrimp. Anyways I then stir fry all the ingredients together, add some oyster sauce and corn starch with water. Lastly pour the shrimp and stuff on top of the noodle. It actually taste alright but next time I need to make sauce liquid like and not thick. I also should use a different noodle.
Mum brought home some Taiwanese snack. Royal Family Red Bean Mochi! This brand of mochi is very soft in texture but not much red bean flavor.

Lately I been cooking a lot instead of ordering takeouts. It's all because of Kev and his talks of making this and that to eat. For dinner I made steam tofu drizzle with oyster sauce, fried garlic, scallion and oil. This time I did not fry the scallion in the oil because I might burn it. I just cut them up and sprinkle it on the tofu after wards. Since my small accomplishment of making the fried shrimps. I thought why not make some turkey nuggets. I did add MSG with the nuggets which was a bad choice. I normally don't cook with MSG but it's because I got curious, I added some. Bad choice because I felt ill after eating it but I'm not sure if it's the MSG or the digestive yogurt I ate earlier. I won't add any MSG no more because my body can't take it. Anyways the meal was tasty but I could have fry the turkey a little longer. I had some left over and mum ate it. I knew she wanted some and so I told her I couldn't finish it. She probably didn't think I can cook something like this.

I can't believe I actually made fried shrimp that came out looking alright. Though this is the first time I ever fried a shrimp dip in corn starch and eggs with sprinkles of pepper and salt. Many times I avoid deep frying foods because I don't want to waste that much oil in frying. Though I say what the heck this time, if I don't use the little bit of olive oil in the bottle, it will be a waste. The shrimps came out looking nicely fried and not burn. Though I do need to add more salt and pepper because I rarely could taste it when I ate them. I also made fried potatoes instead of baking which will take a long time. This was a satisfying meal feeling as if I went to Popeye's to order popcorn shrimps. Not saying the shrimps I fried was anything like Popeye's but it was good. I am just happy with my small accomplishments.
Royal Family Peanut Mochi. I don't really like eating this mochi, just don't like the taste of it. It's just some peanut butter stuff inside and probably peanut powder sprinkle outside.
It's been a long time since I brought any microwave meal. Still till this day I have yet to eat a microwave meal or TV dinners ( whatever you call them ) that's tasty at all. Though mum kept mentioning how she really want to try them and so she took two box. She end up adding soy sauce because she say it did not have much taste and it was not tasty at all. I decided to eat the other box. Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Sesame Stir Fry with Chicken have a light sweet and sour sauce flavor. Also a tiny bit spicy but can barely taste it. The chicken taste like it's been ground up, process chicken or something. Have more of a saucy taste to it but not a bit of sesame. It's alright but I won't say it's tasty but still edible. There are some microwave dinner that's totally not edible even if it is edible if you know what I mean.

Meiji Yan Yan Kids Strawberry Cream. I was surprise when I spot this. It's like the American version of cheese dip cracker. I grew up eating Yan Yan biscuit dips. I like the cup version and still prefer buying that. This snack comes in four packs each box. Biscuits are smaller and it feels like it's easier to scoop all the cream out.
Royal Family Fruit Mochi. This is actually lychee mochi. It's smells nice, looks pretty and taste pretty ok. Though I still don't really like eating Royal Family mochi. Just don't have the yummy taste that would make me want to eat it again.
Hsin Tung Yang Dried Cured Pork. It's not too sweet, it's chewy and not too dry. For someone who want to buy some jerky to eat but don't want to spend like $5 USD or more. This cost less then $3 USD for one. It's like other Chinese pork jerky.
Euro Capuchino Cake. Anything with coffee or similar flavor would always get my attention. Though this cake is a little dried, not much flavor and the cream center is like a chunk of paste. I don't like eating it and I won't buy the other flavors to try.
Hershey Kisses New York Cheesecake. I don't normally but Hershey's Kisses but when Sheep told me about this cheesecake flavor. I got to try it but it turns out to be nothing special. Just chocolate with a light cream flavor.More stinking apartment repair to deal with. Around the late evening I heard a drilling noise coming from a wall in the apartment. So I walked out my room to check out what it was. It turns out to be coming from the bathroom wall plugs. It made a pop sound and I smell something burning. After that I saw some water leaked out! So I made a emergency call for repair and two men came to check out the problem. They was not able to fix it then and told me someone will come tomorrow to repair it. The leak seems to be coming from the apartment that's four floors above me. I hate having to deal with these stuff!

I always want to eat at Congee Village Restaurant & Bar located at Allen Street ( NYC ). As much as I pass by this place I never went in. It's not even in Chinatown but a few blocks away. I guess that is also one of the reason why I haven't eat there yet. Sheep suggest to eat there and I thought why not, it's always good to try something new.
Once walk into the restaurant, there's a small waiting area. The lower portion of the restaurant is close and I assume it's because there isn't much customers. We was directed to the other side which is just a few steps away into a small bar area.
There were small stairs to a raised level dining area. Under the stairs was a small waterfall which is pretty nice. We sat at the small table that's right next to the stairs. The seats was pretty cool, bar area have these weird looking seats and dining area the chairs look like a big leaf. The restaurant have a golden look, nice seating with big flat TV. The art work on the wall looks pretty nice as well. I feel the restaurant have a pretty nice wood look design. Also not to mention the clean bright bathrooms they have. I hate going to restaurant with dirty dark looking bathrooms. I feel a clean nice looking bathrooms in a restaurant is also important. Anyways we sat down, took a few minutes looking at the menu and order. Mum made most of the decisions but I always suggest salt and pepper squid.
Fried Fresh Squid with Salted Pepper - $9.50 USD. It's made a little different. The whole squid is coated in batter. There isn't much salt and pepper flavor to it.
Sampan Porridge - $3.95 USD. What is a sampan congee? I had a scoop of that congee but I just taste congee and not much other flavors. Sheep thinks they added char siu or roasted pork in it. I did see a few piece of peanuts and I think maybe a little shrimp.
Shredded Pork Chow Mein - $6.95 USD. This was so so, it taste more saucy but lack flavor. I taste more bean sprout then pork in this dish. We end up boxing it up and Sheep took it home.
Bean Curd with Seafood Royal Style - $8.95 USD. First time ordering something that have a fire heating up the food on the table. Though this dish wasn't any special. It's alright and I only ate a tofu and a shrimp. Not much seafood.
Golden Egg Fried Rice - $11.95 USD. Mum complain how there wasn't much golden grapes and there's a lot of eggs. I feel it taste a little plain. They used this metal dish and I notice it was place on top of a basket. First time seeing fried rice serve like this.In the end, I felt the dining area is nice, seating is comfortable, service is pretty good and the bathroom is clean. Though the food was alright. Mum mention how the food is a little too salty. While I felt it might have a little too much MSG added into the food but lack real flavor. I did throw up a little when I got home. Sheep mention that she got a headache. There wasn't a single dish we ate that I felt was good. Though since we only tried a few dish, I can't say for sure if everything is totally bad. I will eat there again and well see if my opinion of the place will change or not. The bill came out to be $50+ USD and I think we give them a $10 USD tips. Even though I put down the price of each food, I think it cost a little more then that on the restaurant menu vs takeout menu. I only based it on the takeout menu price.
So after dinner mum, Sheep and I walked back to Chinatown. I don't walk around Allen Street ( NYC ) much and so I don't know if there is any changes in the surrounding area. Across the street from Congee Village Restaurant, there is a nice small park / walking path. Though they only fix up this small section, the other park next to it is still looking run down.
Nice coming home to my baby gal. I give her something to chew on, forgot what that thing is call.

For dinner I made stir fried Chinese long bean with fried tofu, carrot and king oyster mushroom. I really like this kind of mushroom. This mushroom is new to me, just started cooking with it recently. Back then the only mushroom I know of was the straw mushrooms, dried mushrooms and button mushrooms.
A few scoop of that stir fry yummy, a small piece of fried chicken cutlet on top of the rice. It's a delicious meal!
Sheep told me she thought she saw a chocolate White Rabbit candy. I never hear of it before or even see it. I mean I usually eat the regular ones because that's what's available at local Chinese supermarkets. So I was searching for it on Flickr and was surprise that there's red bean flavor and corn flavor. Then Sheep found coffee flavor on Amazon and I love to try that out! Though have yet to find a chocolate flavor White Rabbit candy. It will be nice to eat other flavors. Some say America have amazing snacks but I say else where have unique snacks as well!
Today when I took Pearly out with my mum and I to go grocery shopping. Pearly was pooping a lot, 3 times and usually she poop once and occasionally twice. I asked mum to go to the store and get a bottle water for me to clean her butt. I manage to clean some until she pooped for the second time. Minutes later she pooped for the third time. Cleaning her stinky butt on the street is hard. At home I would use the shower head to wash her butt clean. Some people might think it's ridiculous or even strange cleaning the dogs butt. I do it because I don't want poo stain everywhere.
