Tori Soboro Gohan (Seasoned Ground Chicken over Rice)
Of course this can’t compare to the kick-ass version served at Tori Shin, but I decided to make it for myself anyway. Easy enough! I served it with Stir-fried Baby Kai Lan and Willow Mushrooms. *rubbing a full tummy*
Ingredients:
* 1/2 lb. ground chicken
* (3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sugar, 3 Tbsp mirin, 1 tsp ginger juice)

More midweek lunch goodness!
My buddy Mong brought me to Jones The Grocer at Dempsey Hill for lunch.
It’s an Australian gourmet food store, but in my eyes: Dean & Deluca. I’m telling ya, you can take me outta New Yawk, but you can’t take New Yawk outta mel!!

Slept for over 12 hours and Airborne-ing diligently. Hope this will keep the impending flu at bay for a wee bit longer. #fb
I’ve been wanting to check out SPRUCE for a while now, especially upon reading my homegurl PF’s journal entries of her multiple patronage there. I was delighted (but not surprised) when she suggested we go there for our girly lunch date yesterday. Finally I got a chance to try it and I must say, I was definitely not disappointed.
A blackboard listing menu specials welcomes you upon entry.

My parents were in town for the last two days, in transit for their business trip to TPE and I was very happy to meet up with them. Mom suggested that we have lunch at Central, a HK-style 茶餐廳 ‘coffeeshop’ inside Takashimaya. Eating with my family is one of my favourite activities because my dad is quite the foodie, plus getting together with them is a somewhat rare treat for me, so I always...

Neighbour’s been screaming all morning at the condo cleaning crew regarding maintenance issues. Tense!!! @_@ #fb
I met up with Pei yesterday at the PS Cafe (Project Shop Cafe) within Palais Renaissance for a long late lunch, and boy, we were cradling the rocks in our bellies outta there by the time we were done with our meal. The thing with Pei is, we have been journal friends for several years now, we graduated from the same secondary school (different years), she used to live in NY for a bit and at one...
