I thought about not blogging about this week's Saturday dinner out experience but decided against it, after all, I had made a commitment to recording our experience, good or bad. So here we go.
上星期六是我老公在病,这一次轮到我了。The fashionable moms here probably know too well what we were experiencing - the Domino effect. It almost always starts with one kid getting sick, then the other, then the parent.... Perhaps because of my being sick, I had a craving for 清粥和小菜,但是最近的粥店也太远,最后决定去这个小馆which we had not been to in years! I remember the very first time we heard about this place was in the context that it, to be precise, its 紅烧肉, was directly responsible for the decision made by one of our friends to move here.
Parking turned out to be a big problem, which was a bit puzzling. 我们最后停到了三四个blocks之外。
真可谓跋山涉水来到了这个小馆。几年来装潢也没有什么变化。
老公记得上次点过排骨面,但我这次对什么面没有兴趣。我问老板娘什么是他们的招牌菜。她说饺子和面食。偏偏我又对这不感兴趣。于是我点了麻辣黄瓜和咸蛋炒苦瓜。
老公先尝了黄瓜,我问他怎样。他说不麻也不辣。我尝了一下,同样不解为什么要取名麻辣黄瓜。虽然吃起来还不错,但觉得应该叫凉拌黄瓜。
苦瓜是我的最爱之一。和咸蛋炒还是头一次吃。这个菜还不错。
老公叫了荠菜猪肉饺子和红烧肉。可惜红烧肉买完了,于是换成回锅肉。
饺子我只尝了一个。not impressed. 但是老公赞不绝口。
这个回锅肉是我吃过的最难吃的。老公也concur. 首先,虽然菜谱上画了一个小辣椒,但是吃起来不但不辣,而且可怕的是还甜. 其次,用的肉完全不对,一点也不是五花肉。
虽然苦瓜还不错,总体来说,I gave it 2.5 stars. Surprisingly, my hu*****and gave it a generous 4 stars. Seems he really liked those dumplings!
在我二星期前的blog里,我摆拍了一件上衣的搭配。现在上二张穿上身的照片。
I rarely wore blazers, so the last one was me trying something new..
Thank you for viewing as always. Have a great week ahead.
