My Birthday Celebration: Lunch delivery from Suika

I have two birthday requests for my birthday: mocha cake and katsu curry from Suika. Because there's a steady increase of COVID-19 cases in BC, we decided to order Suika for delivery instead of dining in.

I got my favourite Stewed Beef Tendon Curry with Tonkotsu

Wagyu Stewed Hamburg Hayashi Bowl

Chicken Kara-age

I can't wait to eat in Suika again.

Dinner delivery from KFC

We enjoyed our fried chicken feast from KFC tonight while watching the Vancouver Whitecaps FC game. I haven't had KFC in a long time, and I am shocked at how tasty the food we received. I love the gravy; it kinda reminded me of gravy from KFC Philippines. I'll order the spicy chicken again - the fries and chicken popcorn I'll skip. For the chicken strips, I am still undecided whether I find it too salty or just right.

Happy Sunday night!

Dinner delivery from Gia Minh Restaurant

We were supposed to have Irish food tonight because, apparently, Halloween started in Ireland.  However, we couldn't find a good restaurant that would deliver Irish food, and I suddenly became cold. I turned on the heater. Then, decided to order pho for the warm soup.

Grilled Meat Sub - Banh Mi Ga Nuong

Rare Steak and Beef Balls Pho - Pho Tai, Bo Vien

Spring Roll - Cha Gio

Beef Stew - Bo Kho

Happy Saturday, dinner!

Dinner Celebration from Basil Pasta Bar

We're celebrating our wedding anniversary today and I asked hubby what does he want. He picked pasta, so we ordered from Basil Pasta Bar.

Pasta Feast

I love their container

Spaghetti Carbonara with extra meat, extra cheese, and extra meatballs.
Spaghetti carbonara made with Parmesan cream sauce, crispy smoked bacon, egg yolk, and peas.

It's probably my fault for customizing and adding extra cheese and meat. It made the whole thing saltier than I like. However, the consistency of the sauce is perfect compared to the ones I have tried from Olive Garden which is too heavy and Domino's which is too watered down.

BC Smoked Salmon Fettuccine Combo with extra cheese and extra meat.
BC smoked salmon fettuccine made with Alfredo sauce, smoked salmon, red onions, capers, tomatoes, and spinach.

Similar regret with adding extra cheese and meat as it made the dish saltier than what it would have been. Otherwise, still delicious.

Vegetable Minestrone Soup
A thick soup made with vegetables.

We ordered soup because it's a cold night and a soup seems like the perfect dish to have, but I realized I"m not a fan of tomato-based soup.

Happy anniversary, my dear hubby! :)

Dinner delivery from Donair Dude

For dinner tonight I wanted falafel and mixed plate which is something we had from Rayhan less than two weeks ago. I searched SkipTheDishes and found Donair Dude. As always, we ordered a lot and we end up having leftovers which we will enjoy tomorrow.

Beef Pita Donair

Hubby had a beef pita donair with everything in it except the hot sauce and we even added extra chicken. It's so heavy and delicious. 

Note to future me: don't add jalapeno next time. :)

Beef Pita Donair

Chicken Donair Rice Bowl

It's essentially the same thing, this time with extra beef and with rice.

Chicken Donair Rice Bow

Sides

For sides, we ordered two things: french fries and falafel.

The french fries arrived crispy which I enjoyed while watching the Whitecaps FC game. The falafel is soft and surprisingly delicious.

Falafel

I think I am going through a donair phase. I might order again from a different restaurant soon.

Lunch delivery from Jinya Ramen Bar

Happy Saturday! Since it's starting to get colder, we decided to have ramen delivered from Jinya Ramen Bar. I also ordered one of all my favourite dishes that they have available. It's a happy day!

Our Ramen Feast

Ramen

For our ramen, hubby ordered Jinya Tonkotsu Black Ramen with thick noodles. Meanwhile, I picked Spicy Umami Miso Ramen with thick noodles and extra chashu. Yummy! I love my ramen bowl and hubby liked his too.

My delicious Spicy Umami Miso Ramen with extra chashu.
Pork broth, ground pork soboro, bean sprouts, green onions, bok choy, and chili oil.

Hubby's Jinya Tonkotsu Black Ramen
Pork broth, pork chashu, kikurage, green onions, nori dried seaweed, seasoned egg, garlic chips, garlic oil, fried onions, and spicy sauce.

Small Plates

I think we ordered all the available small plates they have that's not sold out.

Gyoza - Six handmade pork potstickers.

Crispy Chicken - Juicy fried chicken thigh with an original garlic pepper seasoning served with mixed baby greens and jinya's original ponzu sauce.

Takoyaki - Octopus Balls
Battered octopus over egg tartar topped with kewpie mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce, fresh cut green onions, and smoked bonito flakes.

Rice Bowls and Curries

Of course, my love for curry means ordering Tokyo Curry Rice.

Tokyo Curry Rice

Happy Saturday!

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.

Vietnamese Feast 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.

Beef Stew with Rice

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.

Five-Spice Pork Belly Bahn Mi Sub

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.

Special Trio Beef Pho

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.

Meat Spring Roll

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!

Korean bulgogi in a delicious wrapped burrito with flavourful kimchi and pickled daikon radish

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.

BBQ Short Rib Poutine
Diced tomatoes, red onions, green onions, and barbequed short rib

Kimchi Quesadilla

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

Kimchi Quesadilla
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.

Mandu - Five pieces of deep-fried mixed pork and beef dumplings with salsa

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.

20-piece Chicken McNuggets and all the 5 available dipping sauces

Large French Fries

Poutine

Food coma Saturday while watching Bull.

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.

D8. Chicken Katsu Don with Veggies
Chicken katsu served on a bed of rice with vegetables.
