Rainy Afternoon

The girl and I had great plans for Monday afternoon but the unexpected downpour made us scraped it and we went to Sixth Avenue with YY instead.

Had pies at Piper's Pies. The girl had their Piper's Special which had very generous chunks of beef that were lightly spiced and I had a Bacon Quiche which was tasty and went down well with the Flat White coffee that came together as a set, along with a salad. Check out Piper's Pies HERE!

Went to Corduroy and Finch after that. It was still early so the place was pretty quiet and was great to sit by the window and read. Relaxing!


Shared Earl Grey tea with the girl.


YY had a Hot Chocolate.


And we had lovely shortbread cookies to go around.

Brenda joined us after her work and we went down to Chinatown for dinner. Tried out a super old school Teochew Restaurant along Mosque Street. The place was crowded with people, mostly families celebrating birthday and such and their menu didn't have a price to the dishes! The decor of the restaurant was really like a typical chinese restaurant, more commonly found a couple of years back. It felt nice to have dinner in such kinda place once again.


We ordered Shark Fin with Crab Meat Soup to go around. The soup was definitely worth the money ($40) as it was filled with chunky, sweet, flavourful pieces of crab meat and a generous helping of shark fin's as well. We couldn't stop raving about the soup!


We had Salad Prawns too. Prawns were amazingly huge and amazingly fresh!


This Claypot Seafood with Tofu was super worth the money! It has fresh prawns in it and tons and tons of tofu. The gravy of it was delicious especially when you pour it over your rice. We all had second and third helpings of the tofu but still failed to finish it. That is how huge the portion was.


We wanted to try Goose Meat but the restaurant only had in extravagant amount, along with extravagant prices so the nice uncle/waiter gave us a $16 portion instead. What we got was definitely worth the $16! It was a generous enough amount and the meat was carved to perfection. The layer of fat beneath the skin was soft and flavourful and melts in your mouth. The meat was so juicy and tender too! YUMMMMEHHHHH!!!

We'll definitely be back for more goose meat and Brenda and I are eager to try the Cold Crab and Raw Fish!
