Breakfast on Dec. 22.

Bagle and Chicken soup for breakfast on Dec. 22. I like to have soup for breakfast. Especially, snowy cold day. Winter has come to Pittsburgh at last. It's not bad to have snow on Christmas. Stay warm Yinz!

Piper's Pub

Lunch at Piper's Pub on Dec. 21.

I needed to have some drinks after busy morning and my hungover friends needed to recover from crazy night. Then they picked Piper's Pub. They always go to Piper's to get rid of hungover and talk about how crazy they were last night.

 

Zucchini Strips : Thinly sliced, lightly egg-battered and fried served with horseradish sauce - I like this for appetizer. It does't matter whoever I go with, always someone order this meal.

 

Chicken and Mushroom Pie : Chunks of chicken breast and fresh vegetable in a creamy gravy topped with a flaky pastry - This dish helped 2 hungover people today.

Today's special : Roast Beef Sandwich - It was good, but nothing special.

Veggetable Soup

Dinner on Dec. 18. I made veggetable soup. I used fish broth. It has Nappa lettuce, Carrot, Onion, Lotus root and Green Onion.

Lotus Root & Celery Hamburger

Dinner on Dec. 17. I didn't have enough ground meat, so I added diced celery and lotus root. It was really good! Celery gave additional flavor and lotus root gave diffirent texture. I should have made them more. oh yeah, I didn't have meat. But it is good to make less meat hamburger, save some money and get healthier.

 

Tarako Rice

Lunch on Dec. 17. I added Mentaiko(codfish roe) sauce to rice. That sauce is for pasta, but I was too lazy to make pasta. It worked very well. Pasta version is here.

Kiku Japanese Restaurant (to go)

Dinner on Dec. 16. I ordered Sushi to go at Kiku Japanese Restaurant. I think Kiku is very authentic. Sushi chefs and kitchen staff are from Japan. Not only sushi but also other food like tempura and karaage(Japanese fried chicken) are good.

China Star

Lunch at China Star on Dec. 13. I know that I just went to China Star a few weeks ago, but I had to go to Ross Park Mall around lunch time. And my skin needed collagen. Then I decided to go to China Star again. I tried not to eat much today. This is what I had today.

 

Egg Roll : It came with Lunch dish. It was ok, but I won't order again.

Spicy Beef Tendon : my collagen! It's taste like spicy sesami oil and sichuan pepper. 

Kung Pao Chicken : I liked it. It had diced chicken, carrot, cerely, green pepper and peanuts. I thought it tastes a bit Shaoxing wine, but I'm not sure.

 

My Fortune Cookie Today : "It is very possible that you will achive greatness in your lifetime ..... (in bed)". lol. I like it.
