Crispy Noodles at Oriental Gourmet House

I just found out that I love crispy noodles! Considering how much of a foodie I am, you'd think I would know what the infamous Chinese entree on crispy noodles tastes like eh? Well I didn't! I cant believe I hadn't tried it all this time. A bit unhealthy but loved it! A friend made me do it over lunch at the Oriental Gourmet House by Yonge St and Adelaide. [Btw, this spot is small and not too stylish but the food is amazing at an amazing price especially for this part of the city. Hidden gems.]

Aside for this being a pretty awesome meal, the company was even better. It was a work related lunch which I walked out learning that I'll be co-chairing a pretty awesome 3 hour workshop at the end of May! The topic is diversity and you know how much that excites me ;).

Most days, I feel so privileged to have such active, engaged and brainy friends. All I have to do is just hangout around them then I look cool too :)

Spring Rolls

Unexpectedly went to Spring Rolls on by Yonge and Bloor for supper. Going there is always a tasty treat. I had the Tango Mango Tiger Shrimp served on white rice (approx. $13.00).

Sharing a meal is usually such a warm and intimate experience.

Woke up in bliss this morning.


Last night was a relaxed night in with lots of food from Friendly Thai. Steamed Coconut Rice ($2.99), Gai Yang - which is marinated grilled chiken ($10.99), Gai Pad Krapao -basil chicken ($10.99). Delish!

In the afternoon I took a streetcar ride to Chinatown! I love strolling around in that neighborhood. Picked up a few things from there- my fav items being these satin cushion covers!

Happy Nowruz!

It's going to be Persian Nowruz (new year) tomorrow. I was invited to a dinner for this great celebration. It was such a lovely dinner and I was taken just how welcoming everyone was. I was under the impression that it was going to be a dinner party with many people but it turned out to only be family plus me.

The food was completely amazing and I'm kinda shy to ask for recipes :). It was really neat to learn the cultural symbolism of the various items that were part of the celebration.

Happy Nowruz!
