Dinner delivery from Ong Ba Vietnamese

We have leftover fried chicken and chicken popcorn from lunch and I need to pair it with rice and some sort of stew. I was thinking of either Thai Curry or Vietnamese Stew. Hubby voted for wanting pho, so I searched SkipTheDishes for its top Vietnamese restaurants and I ordered from Ongba Vietnamese.

They gave us free coke with a "Thank you!" note from Ong Ba Team.

Beef Stew Rice

It's not the best one I have tried and I only have tried two other Vietnamese Beef Stew. The meat wasn't as tender as the other ones I've tried from Pho Express and Vina Vietnamese, but it was still soft. Also, the stew itself is more soup-like. The flavour is still good.

Five-Spice Pork Belly Bahn Mi Sub

For someone who loves food, it will come as a surprise that this is the first time I have ordered Bahn Mi (actually, hubby picked it). It was a great first try. The pickled vegetables inside the sandwich cut through all that fried food I have been eating since lunch.

Special Trio Beef Pho

Since fall has started the weather has started to become cooler and a bowl of Vietnamese Pho is just the warmth I need.

Meat Spring Roll

The surprise of the night is how delicious the spring rolls are. I thought the one from Lotus in Richmond is better, but it's still amazing.

Happy Saturday!

Lunch delivery from TAKO

TAKO is the Korean-Mexican food fusion I never thought I'd want for today. I have been craving for kimchi and burrito (I know such a weird craving and yet here we are). I would describe their food as Korean flavours in Mexican vehicles.

I am stress eating today, so I ordered a lot of food.

Lunch from TAKO

I love how each container is properly labelled.

Bulgogi Burrito

It was delicious and perfectly sliced in the middle for sharing. The bulgogi is amazing and goes perfectly with rice. Yum!

BBQ Short Rib Poutine

When we opened the container, hubby asked if that's sisig (a Filipino dish out of pig's face) because it looked like one, but it's BBQ. The red onion made it spicy, but I didn't like the dressing it came with.

Kimchi Quesadilla

My kimchi craving wasn't satisfied by the quesadilla, BUT it was so cheesy I'm willing to forgive it.

Pan-fried kimchi, bulgogi, corn, red onions, and cheese.

Sides

I love Korean sides so we ordered two!

Mandu

I have a love affair with dumplings from different countries and Korean mandu is my favourite.

Spicy Seoul Chicken

It's not that spicy, but it goes really well with the Bulgogi Burrito. The Filipina in me is happy with rice (from the burrito) and saucy chicken combination. Under all the yummy chicken are crunchy corn chips which I thoroughly enjoyed. I kinda wished I ordered it too.

Have you tried TAKO before? What do you think of the food?

Lunch deliver from McDonald's: We tried all the Spicy McChicken®

Saturday means takeout food. I love spicy food, so it's a no-brainer that when we heard that McDonald's is back with their Spicy McChicken® Challenge, we will try it.

Too much fast-food! It's our McDonald's feast for the day.

Habanero McChicken®

It was spicy. There was some heat, but nothing too bad.

Habanero McChicken® 

Scotch Bonnet McChicken®

The Scotch Bonnet McChicken® is only available from September 1 to 28. It's definitely spicier than the Habanero, but nothing to cry about. 

Scotch Bonnet McChicken®

Ghost Pepper McChicken®

Of course, the Ghost Pepper McChicken® is spiciest among the three, and it did pack a punch, but the sauce was so delicious with the chicken, it's great! The Ghost Pepper McChicken is only available from September 15 to 28.

Ghost Pepper McChicken®

In the Spicy McChicken Challenge, the bun, chicken, lettuce are all the same - it's just really the sauce that changes, so it's not really enough to bring people to tears (unless you don't like spicy food). My hubby did sweat a lot even before we started eating. The smell of it all got to him. He was still able to finish his McChicken, though.

Sides and More

I was feeling greedy today and decided to order more. I ordered 20-piece Nuggets, 3 Large Fries, Poutine, and 3 Large Iced Tea. We didn't finish it all. LOL Fast food leftovers are not ideal, but I"ll find a way to reheat them and make them edible again.

Lunch delivery from Ogenki Sushi Fusion

My youngest sister requested for Japanese food delivery (specifically, Chicken Katsu). I'm more than happy to oblige, but I wasn't sure which restaurant to pick from SkipTheDishes, so I selected the "Japanese" category and sorted by Skip Score. The first result is Ogenki Sushi Fusion.

Hubby and I shared the following three items:

S6. Tuna and Salmon Sashimi (8 pcs) from Ogenki Sushi Fusion
Four pieces of tuna and four pieces of salmon.

The sashimi is delicious, but it's not the freshest I have tried, but that could be attributed to it being delivered. 

A20. Tako Yaki (6 pcs)
Ball-shaped Japanese octopus snacks topped with bonito flakes, nori, green onions, mayonnaise, and takoyaki sauce. One order comes with six pieces.

My only regret with the Takoyaki is not ordering more. It's so delicious, and I haven't had it in a long time.

A10. Pork Gyoza (6 pcs) from Ogenki Sushi Fusion
Six pieces of deep-fried pork dumplings.

The gyoza arrived crispy and delicious.

My mother ordered the Beef Teriyaki Bento Box like she always does in every Japanese restaurant we try. I think she can start a blog for beef teriyaki review.

Beef Teriyaki Bento Box
Beef Teriyaki on rice and four pieces of California roll served with miso soup, green salad, tempura, and spring roll.

Meanwhile, my brother chose "Combo 1 (20 pcs)," which means assorted rolls.

Combo 1 (20 pieces) comes with Salmon roll, tuna roll and California roll. One order comes with twenty pieces.

Lastly, my youngest sister gets to enjoy her Chicken Katsu Don.

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.

McFlurry and large French Fries

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.

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.

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.

Eggplant Omelette

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.
