Yesterday's dinner
Yesterday I had dinner at Chinese restaurant Dong Kee with G.. We got a table
outside. I was told it has some of the best Chinese food in town. It was very
hot inside. We got a table outside. The menu was printed on a tissue thin piece
of paper. We had to wait for 10 minutes before we could get a table. I had my
reservations because I don't crave Chinese food. It was really crowded. It has
been serving Chinese food for over 15 years. We asked the waiter for
recommendations. I immediately spotted chicken chow mein on the menu and ordered it: really phenominal.
I had a great time. You should go there if you're in the neighbourhood and you like Chinese food.

No time...
Really quiet on this weblog lately. I have been in fact too busy all week. Just
no time to post or even to read blogs. I am jet-laggy.
