We finally had lunch at this unassuming little eating place that we’ve stopped many times at but never entered. We would go through the menu at the door each time and then decide to walk away. No reason why.

But lately we’ve sorta run out of places to eat at. So we decided to give it a try and it looks like we’ve landed ourselves a gem. The place is cozy and clean, almost like the staff in Cherokee scrubs had given the place a once-over. So far, we’ve been back there 3 times and still can’t wait to go back for more.

This past weekend, we had the worst meal we’ve had in a long, long time. I guess it shouldn’t surprise anyone any more. These days, it seems you can’t trust that a crowded restaurant with a constant stream of diners strolling in is one that serves the best meals.

This particular Chinese restaurant we went to is tucked away in a quiet corner of a housing area. It’s not visible from the main road and yet it’s frequented by folks driving up in big expensive cars. Looking at the popularity of this place, we thought we were in for a treat. Not!!!

By the time we left after being slapped with a huge bill, we were swearing never to go back there again!

I couldn’t resist taking the kids out for dimsum. A 50% off on dimsum is really too good to be true. So we were the first to arrive though it was half an hour into opening time. We ordered a few things. Actually there’s like 100 different kinds of dimsum (and they keep coming up with more variations) but there are less than 10 varieties that we eat. What are your favorites?

I’ve noticed that some Japanese restaurants have a specialty section in the corner that sells Japanese food items. There you can usually find a good selection of Japanese snacks, sauces, beverages and dried foods. Pretty interesting for a quick browse after a satisfying meal.

In fact, they have some items which come in cute wrappers that you can probably buy Christmas gifts here for your foodie friends. Food gifts are the best if you can’t think of anything else to buy. As someone who is often stuck for a good gift idea, I should know .
