The things we do to get good food

I don’t usually get a day off. In fact, i work even on Saturdays and Sundays, so today was special as i had the whole day to spend however way i wanted to.

Hubby and i decided we would spend the day doing what we absolutely love to do.

Look for good food what else!

Ongpin is not a place you would normally find me in but the good food beckoned and i heeded…

We wanted to eat at 3 different places so we planned to take it slowly. Unfortunately we could not help ourselves at our first destination…

Wai Ying is a well recommended place by my brilliant friend OC. I wasn’t surprised why.

The entrance showcases the good food that awaits you

towers of dimsum welcomed us and got our gastric juices going

choices…choices…choices…

Hakao

de-licious!

Thaipao

the soft breading and packed filling will be an image that will probably keep me coming back

like majority of chinese dimsum, you don’t really know what all the ingredients are

it had pork, and mushroom, and egg (according to hubby who did not share!)

it tasted great dipped in the intense sauce!

Kuchia

we had to wait for 15 minutes for this. I guess there are not many veggie loving people who come in. Hubby didn’t want to taste it at first but when i told him it was not all veggie, he gave it a try

and he finished a whole dumpling! wait a go hubby!

Shark’s Fin Dumplings

this came last because it came freshly out of the steamer

the steaming contents were delicious!

All these goodies were drowned down with sugar cane juice

…you learn something new everyday! hahaha!

the label said it was extracted just the other day, so this was as fresh as they come

honestly, i was a little stuffed after our dimsum overload but we headed across the street anyway

hubby had been in la mien before and he loved the authentic handmade noodles

the menu is so simple that food choices fit in 1 page

we decided to share a beef noodle soup

don’t be fooled by the mediocre bowl because when hubby started to stir the soup, i realized the bowl was way full of noodles

thick noodles

thick, hot noodles

thick, hot, delicious noodles

and if that was not enough, hubby ordered 12 pieces of fried dimsum

it was really good

but a lone fried dimsum dumpling was all my tummy could take by this time

So we went home…and finished the rest of the fried goodies!

The third restaurant would have to wait for our next visit though. But i do have a good idea what i will be ordering…till then, it will just have to be the mouthwatering memories of the good food we had.

Maybe Ongpin is not such a hard place to be in…the things we do to get good food!
