Lunch delivery from Triple O's

It's my 5th anniversary in Canada, so for lunch today, we decided to order from a Canadian fast-food chain, Triple O.

Two Burger Combo from Triple O's (yay for milkshakes)

Monty Mushroom Burger

Chipotle BBQ Bacon Melt

Between the two burgers, I will order the Chipotle BBQ Bacon Melt again. The crispy bacon provided a different texture to the burger, and in comparison, the Monty Mushroom Burger fell short.

My favourite side is their Garlic Parmesan Fries!

Yay for Triple O's burger delivery and, more importantly, milkshakes.

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! :)

Lunch at RedBeef Noodle Kitchen

My parents went to Costco and purchased some things for us. As a thank-you, we had lunch at Redbeef Noodle Kitchen. I have been wanting to bring them here since I know my dad loves noodle soup like pho and ramen.

I ordered my usual and I think I will keep ordering it. I kinda wish I can order Taiwanese-style sausage on the side.

Chicken Cutlet Rice

Sliced Garlic Pork with Rice

Black Pepper Beef Brisket Stew Rice with Mushroom

Crispy Spicy Chicken

Pan-Fried Beef Wraps

Happy lunch! My mom loved the Pan-Fried Beef Wrap so much that she finished the whole thing.

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!

Lunch from Mean Poutine

We ran errands in Downtown today. For lunch, I asked hubby if there's anything he would like; he said that since we're celebrating his third year in Canada, we should eat Canadian food. The only dish that came to mind is poutine. There are a handful of poutine places in Downtown; Smoke's Poutinerie is our usual go-to, but they were closed, so we decided to try Mean Poutine.

Mean Supreme

Mean Supreme - Crispy fries, brown gravy, fresh cheese curds, certified Angus roast beef, double smoked bacon, grilled onions & peppers and mushrooms

He picked Mean Supreme, while I had Philly Cheese Steak. The best part about both? The certified Angus roast beef. It's so good! The fries were crispy too; the gravy was a bit salty for my liking, though. However, the serving is huge!

Philly Cheese Steak - Crispy fries, brown gravy, fresh cheese curds, certified Angus roast beef, mushrooms, sautéed onion & peppers 

I am willing to give it another try - maybe order something else. However, between the two poutine, the Mean Supreme is better than the Philly Cheese Steak.

Dinner delivery from A&W

I enjoy (most of the time) watching the Whitecaps FC, so for dinner tonight we ordered from one of their sponsors (or partners, not really sure what their deal is), A&W.

Cheddar Bacon Uncle® Burger

Mozza Burger® 

Yay for fast food. Between the two burgers, I prefer the Uncle because of the pickle - it provided a much-needed acidity to the juicy burger.
