Dim Sum/Yum Cha Again

A revisit to Kapiolani Seafood. The Mouse wanted to try their egg tart.

Egg Tarts

Very soft and creamy. The Mouse guesses lots of cream in the custard, he took to lactase pills, just in case. No untoward incident experienced. Whew!

Jook of the Day

Last week’s “flavor” was pork with preserved egg. This week, The Mouse thought the jook tasted like turkey or chicken with preserved egg. No matter, still good. 🙂

Chicken Dumplings

There was a hot pot dish, look funn with tendon on the menu, The Mouse was going to order. The Cat thought too much soup, the smaller bowl of chicken dumplings was ordered instead. The tendon was saved till next time.

The dumplings were very large, not bad, could be seasoned more. The Mouse’s opinion. The wrap was slightly thick. Try try.

Be safe, eat good.

Schedule Snafu

The Cat didn’t bring lunch from home. A scheduling snafu at the office. The downstairs cafe.

Sandwich, Salad, Soup

The Mouse made “fast” congee, comfort food for The Cat’s stomach.

“Fast” Congee

Leftover rice, lotus seed, dried fava beans, roasted Brussels sprouts, canned bamboo shoot, wood-ear fungus, salt, and toasted sesame oil to finish. Mmm.

Be safe and well.

Quick Jook

Comfort food for The Cat. Nothing fancy, no recipe.

Pre-cooked rice, wakame seaweed, mustard green, salt, toasted sesame seed oil.

Quick Jook

Boil water, add rice. Turn off heat, let sit for fifteen-twenty minutes (allows rice to hydrate and absorb water). Bring jook to medium simmer, add mustard green, wakame, stir for a couple of minutes. Top with sesame oil to serve. Easy peasy.

Stay safe and well.
