“Eyes Bigger than …”

Sunday eats after The Cat took a long nap. Neighborhood chop suey, recently re-opened to dining-in.

“Pancake Wrapping”

“Moo Shu Pork”

This dish was “funny”, not quite what The Cat was expecting. The Cat and The Mouse should have been warned, had to order moo shu pork off the menu. Maybe chef was “winging” it. Hmm. More “chop suey” than “moo shu”. Hee hee.

Moo Shu Roll

The Mouse needs practice assembling.

Sizzling Seafood

More vegetables than seafood. The Mouse ate all the squid, The cat cannot chew. Some shrimp, fake abalone, and fishcake were the other seafood. Decent for the price.

Fried Porkchop

Won Ton with Vegetables Soup

The Mouse hasn’t eaten won ton for a while.

Too much food for The Cat and The Mouse, lots of leftovers. Mmm! 🙂

Be safe and well.

Chop Suey Eats

The neighborhood chop suey finally re-opened for sit-down dining. They were doing a brisk take-out business during lockdown.

The Cat and The Mouse did a couple of take-out from them but it’s different.

Stringbeans with Spicy Pork

Eggs with chive

Kau Yuk with Taro

Mmm.

“Regular” dishes is better than paper or foam. 🙂

Be safe and well.

“Gravy Rice”

Small-kid time, The Mouse loved gravy over rice. As he grew older, he realized the unhealthiness of the dish. Cut back severely. Still enjoy gravy rice but in moderation and few and far between frequency.

The Mouse thought he was ordering healthy yesterday. Tofu and vegetables over rice from the neighborhood chop suey.

Plate Lunch

Surprise! Lots of gravy, The Mouse was anticipating a simple stir-fry. He was tempted to eat the whole order but resisted. More than half of the rice and a fair bit of the gravy and vegetables were taken out for The Cat’s bento. The Mouse ate the rest. The gravy was not unwelcome, it was enjoyed, just a surprise. And The Mouse has refrained from “gravy rice” for a while. Overall, The Mouse ate mostly healthy. That’s The Mouse’s story and he is sticking with it. 🙂

Stay safe and well.
