Try Try

The Mouse returned a mail order item, factory outlet store on the other side of the island. Try try “Taiwanese noodle bar”, Fooki.

Side Order Won Ton

Because, whenever possible, The Mouse eats won ton, or any other dumpling for that matter. Hee hee.

Beef Tendon

Almost cooked through, The Mouse took home most of the tendon, simmer a little longer. Not bad though.

Veggie Scallion Noodles

Mushroom, tofu, onion, cilantro, green onion, scallion oil, stir-fried with noodles. Light and refreshing.

Braised Pork Belly Bowl

Overall, pretty good, slightly pricey, definitely not cheap eats. Worth another try if we are in the neighborhood. 🙂

Be safe, eat good.

Christmas Dinner

Location was first restaurant that had a reservation opening. Try try. The Mouse studied the menu beforehand, but alas, the best laid plans … restaurant menu was special Christmas prix fixe menu. Okay, rolling with it.

Location

“Instant Bacon”

Braised pork belly, deep fried, “instant” smoked, soy glazed, served with tempura oyster. For the Cat and The Mouse, meal could have ended here. Eight paws up.

Herb-Roasted Jidori Chicken

Not bad, okay. If The Mouse had a choice, he would have a double order of pork belly. Hee hee. The turnip and the won ton were good. 🙂

Mac-Crusted Mahi Mahi

Again, not bad, okay. The Cat agreed about the double order of pork belly.

Chocolate Cake

The cherries was a nice touch. Okay, next time, double order “instant” bacon and chocolate cake.

Be safe, eat good.

The Mouse got Confused for a Moment

The Cat came home early. Plan was neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Take-out only. Second choice, Italian a couple of doors down. The Mouse was having a tiny bit digestion issue, didn’t want to exacerbate with any dairy ingredient. Ordered safe.

Penne Pasta with Meat Sauce

The Cat ordered the daily special, breaded deep-fried braised pork belly, duck confit beans, andouille sausage, kale, pickled red cabbage.

Daily Special

Wait, wait, the pork belly is a version of pork tonkatsu. Hee hee. The Mouse was momentarily confused. Italian or Japanese or fusion. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.

Stay safe and well.

Pork Belly on Pita

Simple, leftovers.

Dinner

Toaster oven, 10-15 minutes.

No need for any sauce/spread, some of the fat from the pork belly kinda rendered into the pita. Mmm.

No fuss.

Stay safe and well.
