Cheap Eats!

Lunch wagon that stops in front of the warehouse daily.

Lunch Wagon

Even the signage says lunch wagon (not a food truck!). Yesss!

A few (maybe one) selections at $8.00 or $9.00, mostly $6.00.

Since it was Friday, and The Mouse’s first time, he “splurged”.

Combo Plate

Kalua pork and cabbage, roast pork, salad option. All for (drum roll) $7.00! A steal! To top it off, food is pretty tasty, not gourmet, but certainly above average (especially at the price point). Definitely will be returning.

Tea Bags

Tonight’s dinner, something small for the general manager. He is not into sweets, but The Cat knows he drinks tea.

Something to Rest His Tea Bags On

One kinda modern Raku-ish, one more traditional. The Mouse couldn’t decide so bought two. The Cat picked the black one, the other one goes into our dish cabinet.

Which one would you choose?

Sunset pictures and maybe fire tonight. hee hee.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Hainan Chicken Rice

The Cat’s elusive search for good Hainan Chicken Rice. Lunch at King’s Restaurant.

Hainan Chicken Rice

With condiments. While the chicken was pretty good and the condiments were tasty, the rice was regular rice, not cooked in chicken broth/fat. The Mouse guesses The Cat has to take a trip to Singapore for “good” Hainan Chicken. Hee hee.

The Mouse ate.

Clay Pot Rice with Ground Pork and Salted Fish

Lots of rice! Vegetables were a good quantity, could’ve stood more pork and fish. Ratio was slightly off.

Quantity was sufficient for two more meals (doggie bag).

If you had a long weekend, was it good?

Enjoy. Eat well.

Like a Kid in a Candy Store

The Mouse got a tour of the warehouses. Very excited. No pictures, proprietary purposes.

And the employee discounts, although there are a few restrictions, can be awesome.

The Mouse’s first purchase, almost two pounds of oxtail, for the weekend. The Mouse has to check later for pork cheeks and beef tongue. All the meat cuts that were price prohibitive as a non-employee.

Mouth watering in anticipation.

The Mouse’s take-out on the way home.

Kalua Pork and Rice – Mini Plate

The Cat’s bowl of soup.

Turnip Greens and Bamboo

The Mouse is deciding between Western and Asian style oxtail stew. Decisions, decisions.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Simmered Pork and Tofu

This week’s one pot starts with ground pork.

Ground Pork

Browned, simmered with water, salt, shoyu, sugar, vodka, added tofu cubes at the end, simmered more to incorporate.

Simmered Pork and Tofu

Sesame seeds to garnish.

Think Mapo Tofu without the heat.

Ohh ohh, first day at work yesterday for The Mouse.
