How nice…my browser and xanga are working today
Finally I can do an entry today since the Xanga Photos function and my browser are working today!
Last Saturday went to a new restaurant called CHOP they have a nice indoor decor, very good outdoor dining/Bar area, friendly servers but always drop things, either your drinks, cutlery or even their serving tray….oh well that’s the Western Canada way ….they usually don’t really care of fine details
To start off our dinner we had this CHOP Platter, 5 items but all you need to remember are the Steak Bites and the Saratoga Chips…..The Lobster & Prawn Fritters which looks like the chinese deep fried crab ball but with a funny soap taste, and the Ahi Tuna Pillar tastes really blend even with the dip provided, and finally the Fried Roasted Chix Wings the meat is soo dried……(see one of the Tuna Pillars fell down too luckily not onto the floor…..)
Creamy Seafood Chowder and it’s really Creamy, the texture of the soup is so thick that you can put ‘Dip’ onto the dish name.
Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi, not my dish but my friend said the best part of this is the Macadamia Crust…
the Special of the day – Grilled Sword Fish, again not my dish, and my friend prefered the brown rice more than the fish..
Chop Salad with Sirloin Skewer, at least all the greens are fresh but I think the steak bites from the platter is better than the skewer…
24 layers Chocolate Cake……it’s tall….and it’s just a chocolate cake…..the home made vanilla ice-cream is good though.
Tuesday in Hongkong meeting up with a friend and eventaully had an after tea at the Excelsior Hotel Lobby Lounge another forgettable meal within 4 days…..oh well that’s ok the main purpose was to meet a long lost freind and hide from the over heated HongKong outdoor!
Then walked around Causeway Bay when the sun started to go home……and found this Bloc Mickey Mouse exhibition at Time Square
Back in Vancouver on Wednesday and had one of the best Pineapple Bun in town( even better than most of the Bakery Shops in HongKong I remember there’s even an article from the HK East Magazine talked about it)
it’s called Lido Cafe Restaurnat in Richmond BC
At night had a chinese Birthday dinner
The Winter Melon Soup…..(came in with half of the Melon as a Bowl.. before being served.)
hm…..how to describe???? Deep Fried Chix-knee with Soy Paste..
Stir-fried Lobsters with the Premium Soy Sauce
Steam Chix with tea leaves
till then…..wait for another lucky day to update my blog!

Yummy!
yummy yummy! glad to see that you can post again, and look for more! I need to go to VC and HK to try some of these. 24 layer cake, wow, wow. need to go to the gym first, hehe.
What browser are you using?
With all the traveling that you do, how do you find time to hit the gym? That winter melon soup looks very good.
@ZenPaper - @stevew918 - @ElusiveWords - I really enjoy the dining experience……and I love to share them here in xanga therefore posting the pic is quite important to me…..actually the problem started after I’ve upgraded to IE8, when I start a new blog I could upload pic but the choose function not working, I can’t see the uploaded pic and make choices on the edting page. Then I opt to use firefox which works ocassionally, I have sent my concern to the xanga help team however they just replied me that they could see my uploaded pics and offer no further help even after I’ve sent them several e-mails after……and eventually now I can only do my new blog by chances…..
Welcome back. I’ve missed you. The Mickey Mouse display is very … interesting. The Chinese food looks especially good.
@christao408 - tks…as long as everything is working I’ll blog….
The dessert looks sumptuous, with that multi layered cake! I always enjoyed shopping at Times Square, plus all those interesting exhibitions at different times of the year!
