Lunch with the Aunties @ 君臨天下

Yay, another BIG lunch dimsum gathering with the Aunties (靚靚師奶) since Queenie’s birthday is next week and very glad that Joseph and his wife can join us as well 😀  I remember the last time I went 君臨天下 was a long long time ago and it was a quite expensive Chinese restaurant back in the days.  Recently I have heard a lot of good things about this place, so I thought maybe we should give this a try so we went.  Turned out everything was exactly what I heard, food quality is really good and price is not bad either, not to mention they are doing 20% off lunch right now, just take a look at how much we ordered :p

Macy, the Super Cook!!!

Once again, a little weekend gathering at Cheryl’s house, was extremely pleased that finally got a chance to have a taste of Macy’s cooking.  Chicken pot with herbs (藥膳走地雞煲), Sojo Clams (燒酒蜆), Spring onion ginger oyster pot (薑蔥生蠔煲) and a seafood fried rice (海鮮炒飯).  Seriously, it was probably the best home made Chinese dinner I have ever tasted, it’s even better than eating out really no doubt 😀  I am hoping one day she would apprentice me and make me an awesome cook like she is now because at her young age, the skills level is comparable or even higher than a lot of Aunties (靚靚師奶) I know.  Amazing 😀

Family Day weekend and Valerie is one year old! (19 Feb 2012)

Valerie will be one year old in a few days and I was lucky enough to be invited to her early birthday party this family day weekend.  A lot of the parents were invited, fortunately not many kids were there so I didn’t get any headaches and it was a total relief for me :p  Poor David, Valerie’s dad is stuck at work in Montreal so he didn’t get to join us for the fun but thanks to modern technology, with video conferencing, he got to see all the action going on over the internet real time 😀  Anyways, we first had our awesome dinner, then it was time for the birthday cakes, one ice-cream cake and one mousse with little cartoon characters in them.  Gift unwrapping was another big scene of the night and little Marcus was such a big help ripping all the gifts apart :p  Seriously, I never thought a kid’s birthday party could be this fun :p

Family Day weekend PotLuck party (18 Feb 2012)

“Definition of Family Day:  In parts of Canada, Family Day is a statutory holiday occurring on the third Monday in February. In the provinces of Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, the statutory holiday on this date is instead termed Louis Riel Day and Islander Day, respectively. The timing of Family Day coincides with Presidents Day in the United States.”

 

It has been really a long time since the last Potluck party I had, luckily enough, I was invited to Cherry and Andrew’s house for for one and as also asked to make my special curry fish balls again, yay!!!  As you probably know, we always have gatherings like this from time to time with my “Logic” buddies 😀  This time, we added one unique member to our gathering, Jane’s sister Jessie.  She made a very very special dish that no words can describe, a specialty dish that was originally from Shanghai China.  Not to mention many different variety of food made by others plus Sushi and Oysters too!!!  And you know what?  It was also Jessie’s Birthday so we prepared a cake for her as well 😀  Overall, a super fun night as always 😀

年初三之人人菜館 (New Choice Restaurant)

Another awesome gathering with the aunties at 人人菜館 (New Choice Restaurant).  Since this week is Chinese New Year plus this weekend is Corolla’s birthday, so it was a perfect time for a gathering dinner 😀  If you follow my blog, you know this was not my first time being at 人人菜館, but with more people, a better chance to try more stuffs.  Overall, it was really a fun dinner night, very good food and I still recommend this to everyone if you are looking for a restaurant in Richmond Hill.  Think about it, today is a Wednesday, and the restaurant was almost full with a bad bad snowy weather tonight, so it’s got to be yum yum good :p
