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.

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.

Happy Saturday, dinner!

Puffcream for desserts at Popina Canteen

One of the reasons why I created this blog is to remember what I ate from different restaurants. It's been helpful today. I remember we have tried Puffcream in the past, but I can't remember which one we've tried, so I open this blog on my phone and searched for Puffcream. Apparently, I have tried the Old Fashioned, so today we know we have to try something else.

Essentially, a Puffcream is a freshly baked cream puff served with soft-serve ice cream. The toppings are different depending on which one you pick. Today, picked "Hubby."

Yummy! I love the contrast between the crunchy and salty pretzels and soft-serve ice cream.
I also ordered shoestring fries, which were crispy and perfect with the Puffcream.

Yay for the weekend!

Lunch at Granville Island Public Market

Yesterday was my last day at work. Today, I dropped by the office to return my equipment. Afterwards, we grabbed lunch from Granville Island Public Market and ate it by the water. Everything is beautiful and amazing until a seagull attacked. Thankfully, I was able to protect my precious pizza.

Clear day and the beautiful view while enjoying Pizza from Pizza Pzazz.

For our second lunch, I ordered from my favourite stall from the Granville Island Public Market - Gourmet Wok. I love the kung pao chicken, pork BBQ, and fried fish.

Lunch at Sushivan

My parents went inside our apartment for the first time ever. They usually drop off things, but they don't go inside. Today was different just because my brother needed to use the Healthy Wave Mat I have to relieve the wrist pain he's feeling.

Anyway, after an hour at home, we all went to have lunch at Sushivan. We ordered a lot and my mom is happy with how delicious everything was.

Spider Special Roll (Crab Meat, Cucumber, Avocado, Lettuce, Soft Shell Crab, and Tobiko)

I still think the Awesome Special Roll is the best of the four I have tried so far.
