We had our new home blessed by Father Ignacy today. I asked my workplace for an extended lunch break so we could complete the blessing and enjoy a meal together. My parents and two sisters joined us for lunch at H-Mart in Downtown Vancouver.

10. Scorched Rice Ginseng Chicken Soup from H-Kitchen Made with scorched rice, Ginseng, chicken, and jujube |
For the first time, I ordered the Scorched Rice Ginseng Chicken Soup (Samgyetang). It arrived in a heavy stone bowl and was piping hot. The meal was comforting and felt like a loose congee with tender chicken. Choosing this nutritious soup over the salty Korean ramen was another attempt to make better health choices, especially with the earthy ginseng.

Noodle in Black Bean Sauce from H-Kitchen Black bean sauce, pork, sweet onions & zucchini + roasted dumplings (3 pieces) |
Hubby, meanwhile, ordered the Noodles in Black Bean Sauce (Jjajangmyeon), which is a popular dish we always see in Korean dramas. We both thought their version was a bit too sugary, which is saying a lot coming from a Filipino family that enjoys sweet spaghetti! Despite that, it was a lovely afternoon spent with family.
