Guest Post: Lunch delivery from Ikura Sushi

This blog post is written by my only brother.

Lunchtime and we wanted to eat something different than our usual meals. Mom wanted to have Beef Teriyaki and my sister handled the online ordering and she found Ikura Sushi.

Our mom wanted to have Bento Beef Teriyaki and it didn't really matter to me what I got so I just ordered the same thing.

My sister ordered Chicken Teriyaki bowl for herself.

Have you tried Ikura Sushi? What do you think?

Snack delivery from McDonald's

We're watching Slam Dunk on Crunchy Roll just for weekend relaxation fun. I am craving for ice cream, so we ordered French Fries and McFlurry from McDonald's delivered by SkipTheDishes.

Happy Sunday!

Dinner delivery from Tim Hortons

 It was a hot day (hottest of the year so far) and hubby requested that we get something cold like ice cream. We decided to order drinks and dinner from Tim Hortons.

Drinks

I ordered a Frozen Lemonade while hubby enjoyed a Strawberry Creamy Chill. It was perfect to beat the heat (and suffer brain freeze).

Melt

For sandwiches, we shared a Turkey Melt. a Bacon Grilled Cheese Melt, and potato wedges.

Yay for the weekend! Stay cool during the summer while at home with Tim Hortons cold drinks and SkipTheDishes.

Lunch delivery from Klasik Inasal & Noodle Express

 For snacks, we ordered from SM Delights, and for Saturday lunch, we ordered too much from Klasik Inasal & Noodle Express.

We ordered a feast from Klasik Inasal & Noodle Express.

Filipino Food from Klasik Inasal & Noodle Express

Grilled Chicken Inasal

The smell is so intoxicating. Amoy palang ulam na. The chicken was juicy and hot when it arrived. It was excellent.

Deep-Fried Shanghai

It's crunchy and juicy. I love it. Though, the one from Little Ongpin is better.

Seasoned ground pork with carrots

Pancit Palabok

We're most excited about the Palabok since we haven't had it in such a long time. The sauce to meat to noodle ratio is perfect, plus it comes with Calamansi, which we haven't used in a year.

Pork BBQ Skewer

This is my favourite food from Klasik Inasal. I can honestly say this is the most delicious and Filipino-style BBQ I've had since moving here in Canada, and my sisters and I have been in a quest to find the best ones in a long time. The meat was tender, and there's a good ratio between lean meat and fat.

4 pieces of Pork BBQ is not enough

Eggplant Omelette (Tortang Talong)

I have been craving Tortang Talong for two weeks now, and its availability is the main reason we ordered. I wish I ordered more than 1 to satisfy my craving.

Thank you!

Dear Klasik Inasal & Noodle Express, thank you so much for staying open, being available in SkipTheDishes and serving us with delicious Filipino dishes at short notice. Stay safe!

Picnic lunch delivery from White Spot

My parents, siblings, hubby, and I went to Queen Elizabeth Park today for a picnic. For lunch, we decided to order from White Spot through Skip The Dishes.

Chicken Ceasar Wrap
Herb-marinated BC chicken wrapped in a salsa tortilla with crisp romaine, bacon, and Parmesan, tossed in White Spot's signature Caesar dressing.

I hope we could do this again before rain comes back in the city. :)

Lunch Delivery from Bon's Off Broadway

Happy Friday! For lunch today, hubby and I decided to order food instead of cooking. I have been craving pasta and searched SkipTheDishes for pasta and the only small restaurant that delivers in our place is Bons Off Broadway.

Order from Bon's Off Broadway

We ordered three things for lunch today and there's way too much food for two people. I'll be honest, I wasn't satisfied with what we ordered which is unfortunate.

Chicken Alfredo Mushroom Sun-Dried Tomatoes

This is the best among the three items we ordered.

Chicken Alfredo Mushroom Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Bon's Jumbo Burger Plate

The burger got soggy. This is a reminder not to order burgers for delivery. The fries were good, though so it's something.

Sad buns

Deluxe Nachos

This is the saddest of the three. The nachos arrived stale which is unfortunate.

Birthday lunch delivery from Mui Garden Restaurant

It's my dad's birthday! He requested for Chinese cuisine and my siblings obliged. The images below are taken by my brother.

Shrimp and BBQ Pork Fried Rice

Yay for food!

Lunch from Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza

My youngest sister insisted we order pizza from Canadian 2-for-1 pizza. I said, sure, we can try it. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it.

Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza Mediterranean

Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza Four Cheese Pleaser

Canadian 2-for-1 pizza

We were discussing why this pizza is so good, and we've come up with the following reasons:

1. The dough is chewy and tastes delicious.
2. The topping is superb.
3. Finally, the sauce, dough, topping ratio is perfect.

We don't like the dough of Domino's Pizza. Meanwhile, Pizza Hut can be a bit too oily and heavy. And my sister pointed at that both chains have too much sauce for the dough and topping.

Be sure to try Canadian 2-for-1 Pizza if it's available in your area.

Birthday dinner delivery from Cravings Restaurant and Sports Bar

For dinner tonight, our family has dinner from Cravings Restaurant and Sports Bar. We had a great time swapping stories over delicious food.

What do I recommend from Cravings?

Homemade Clam Chowder Soup with grilled salmon. The soup was amazing!

Nachos with BBQ Chicken

The Nachos was good too as expected from a Sports Bar, however, delivered of course, some of the chips lost its crunchiness.

What else to try?

Poutine with Pulled Pork

Cravings Lasagna

Cajun Chicken Burger

Baked Creamy Mac and Cheese

Happy birthday not-so-little sister! 

Birthday lunch delivery from Eggspectation

We're celebrating the birthday of our youngest sister. For lunch, she wants food from Eggspectation.

What to get from Eggspectation?

I ordered Chicken & Waffles. When it's available that's my breakfast staple. Meanwhile, hubby ordered Montreal Benny. My mom ordered Eggspectation Burger which is a surprise since she's not a big burger fan. On the other hand, my brother surprisingly ordered Lobster Omelette. Lastly, the birthday girl ordered Eggsuberant.

Lobster Omelette

My brother learned today that lobster and egg are delicious on their own, but does not have an impact together.

Chicken and Waffle

Chicken is delicious - I mean you can never go wrong with chicken strips. The waffle is surprisingly good.

Eggspection Burger

Montreal Benny

The Montreal Benny which hubby shared with me is amazing. Perfectly poached egg and delicious hollandaise sauce, yum!

Grateful Surprise

With our food came a note of gratitude from the restaurant, it reads:

Thankyou for your order & supporting your local business! Please enjoy this Cookies & Cream Cake on us! We open our doors for dine in this Friday at 7 am. We hope to be of service to you again! - Eggspectation Richmond

Free Cookies & Cream Cake

Thank you for the surprise Eggspectation! My sister enjoyed the cake.

Mother's Day Lunch Celebration from Sumi Korean Restaurant

The restrictions in BC are slowly easing up, and we decided to expand our social bubble by visiting my family in Richmond. We spent a good portion of Sunday having lunch and playing games with my siblings and, of course, sharing a meal to celebrate our mom.

Our mom loves Korean cuisine, so we decided to order some of her favourite dishes from Sumi Korean Restaurant.

What to get from Sumi Korean Restaurant?

Two order of Pork Goonmandu (deep-fried pork dumplings)

The Goonmandu was delicious; of course, as expected with delivered food, it wasn't as crispy as what it would have been if we ate it at the restaurant. Nonetheless, it was delicious.

Haemul Pajeon (Seafood and Green Onion Pancake)

I have tried a handful of Haemul Pajeon from other Korean restaurants, but this one has the most seafood.

Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles with vegetables) - Mama's favourite Korean dish

The Japchae was alright, but what is surprising is how it arrived still hot. 

Kkanpunggi (deep-fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce)

It's our first time trying Kkanpunggi, and it did not disappoint. It's sweet, a bit sour, and mildly spicy. It was great with rice.

We hoped to have ordered Korean BBQ too, but hopefully, that's for next Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day Cake!

It's such a fun day! I can't wait to see them again in 2 weeks to celebrate my sister's birthday.

Cinco de Mayo: Burrito, Nachos, and Quesadilla from Las Margaritas

Happy Cinco de Mayo! It's the third year in a row that we get Mexican food on this day. Last year, we went to Tacofino Taco Bar and ate a lot of tacos. The year before, we went to Sal y Limón.

This year because of COVID-19, we can't dine in a Mexican restaurant. Instead, we had food delivered from Las Margaritas. As always, we ordered too much.

What to get from Las Margaritas?

Appetizer

For the appetizer, we ordered Nachos Rancheros. I was also tempted to try the Fiesta Platter but thought it might be too much.

Nachos Rancheros
Tortilla chips covered with black beans, melted cheese, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, and green onions. Topped with guacamole, sour cream, and black olives.

Entrees and House Specials

For our main, we ordered the Burrito and Deluxe Quesadilla.

Roasted Beef Burrito
A large flour tortilla rolled with edam, cheddar, mozzarella cheese, and roasted beef covered with a mild red sauce. Both are topped with melted cheese and sour cream. Served with refried beans and Mexican rice.

The Mexican rice with roasted beef is so delicious. I'll be happy just eating those rice with any meat, really.

Deluxe Chicken Quesadilla
Large grilled flour tortilla filled with melted cheese, grilled chicken breast, sauteed vegetables, and fresh cilantro. Served with sour cream, salsa, black beans, and house salad.

The house salad the quesadilla came with is so yummy! I'd be happy to get that salad and whatever dressing (seems to be vinaigrette) it came with.

House Salad

Dessert

Churros

Delicious Churros

The churros made Tuesday extra better. I've been having a tough Monday (yesterday) and a stressful morning as well. But that churros made everything seems better. Things will be okay.

Thank you for serving us great food Las Margaritas!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
