Sip Bowl La Mian, Chinese Ramen Beef and Sauerkraut

Sip Bowl La Mian, Chinese Ramen

July 14, 2019

Sip Bowl Signature Beef Noodle bowl looks quite flat, almost unappetizing. It has lots of noodles, a large amount of green onion and chives, a few pieces of thinly sliced daikon, and 4 pieces of thinly sliced beef. However, when I started eating it, the triangular shaped noodle was very well done. It’s a little softer than I’d liked, but superb compared to the majority of noodle places in town. I can feel the bounciness on my teeth when I bite into them. The soup was delectable with a slight taste of savory, not very complex though. The beef was a bit too salty but goes well with the rest of the bowl.

Yi Fang’s Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea use traditional slow cooking method to cook the brown sugar’s sweetness into the pearls.

Brown Sugar Milk Tea Boba Ice Cream Bar

Formosa Nursery Organic blueberry u-pick

Formosa Nursery, The Only Organic U-Pick In The Lower Mainland.

July 7, 2019

Blueberries are healthy, pesticides are not. Organic blueberries are expensive. If you are willing to pay a bit more for truly healthy blueberries, it is a lot more affordable when you go straight to the suppliers. Formosa Nursery blueberries are not overly sweet. These organic blueberries are a little sour, just how I think blueberries to be. Because it is fresh and never frozen, I could even taste a hint floral, kind of like roses. Please stay away from this location if you are selfish or have a tendency to break things. I’d like to continue enjoying this peace haven in the many years to come.

Shanghai Dimsum House (白玉蘭麵家), Tasty Xiao Long Bao

July 5, 2019

Pick up the Xiao Long Bao from the fold with a chopstick. It’s the most sturdy part of the skin, so it’s less likely to break. The rest of the skin is quite uniform and did not break when I lift it. Pay attention to the skin that’s touching the edge of the steamer, or another Xiao Long Bao. Be careful when separating them. No sudden movements
