Chinese REstaurants... ick.
The reason for today's venting/topic is... CHINESE RESTAURANTS!!!!! hahaha
well.. if I am alone here in Adelaide, I do not usually go there... because I think that
1) They are ridiculously overpriced
2) The food is not that good anyway
3) I can get pretty sick of chinese
4) Too much MSG.
5) Josh/ME cooks better (ok this one may be a lie)
True, there is the occasional venture.. sometimes cos I crave it, or there's nothing else left in the house to eat, so we go for chinese takeaway.
But.. since my grandma is here.. this past weekend has been fully... FULLY chinese food. I am so damn sick of it. Cant wait to have.. carbonara pasta.. or mexican nachos.. or maybe Japanese.. yumm..
On Thursday night, we went out for a Celebratory Graduation Dinner with Josh's whole family. We went to Imperial Peking, a chinese restaurant on Payneham road. Where we had a whole bunch of dishes, including Peking Crispy half duck in a pancake (YUM!!)
On Saturday night, we went out with Aunty Jean and Uncle Alan to have dinner because my grandma is here, and they normally take us out. So, we went to this other chinese restaurant called Jade View Restaurant, also on Payneham Road. We had, among other things, Crispy half Peking Duck with pancake, steamed Oysters and brinjal cooked with minced pork.. Okay at this point I was kinda still okay..
Sunday Morning after church. I took my grandma and Josh to eat Dim Sum (choose as you go). That was kinda alright.... was starting to get a little sick of restaurants bearing stupid names and menus that were in a foreign language.
Sunday night (tonight), we went to Aunty Jae and Uncle Ken (Uncle Alan's brother)'s house for dinner. We thought it was gonna be homecooked meal, but NO!! Guess where Aunty Jae took us?!! Ur Right!!! TO JADE VIEW, where, among other things we had crispy skin half duck with pancakes, brinjal cooked with minced pork.... yeah.. and we were even seated at the same freaking table that we sat at on Saturday night!! I was praying the owner wouldnt recognise us and give the game away (we couldnt tell aunty jae that aunty Jean brought us there and ordered almost the same dishes).
After this weekend, I seriously do not give a flying fox if I dont see another chinese restaurant from miles away... or eat at it. AT ALL.
PASTA.... YUmmmmm..... SUSHI... here i come!!!
deb's outta there..
