Hello 2023!! 2022 is a wrap and there's so much to be grateful for and to celebrate. Here are my favourite 10 bites/sips. Now keep in mind this list is about the specific item listed, and restaurants rotate their menu on a regular basis so what I had enjoyed may not be available anymore (and I will try my best to specify below).
It's Chinese New Year (CNY) a couple of weeks ago, and us Chinese know how to celebrate -- eat, feast, and repeat. Of course, there are many regional Chinese New Year traditions throughout China, and being from HK, the HK tradition is what I'm most familiar with. On New Year's Eve I was invited to a feast with food expert Lee Man, and it just heightened my appreciation for my culture. Calling it a feast, obviously it was a multi-course dinner with an abundance of food. We are all about good meanings when it comes to choosing the dishes or even naming them for CNY. On Instagram I showed a glimpse of what that means with the CNY dinner made by Mama Lam this year. It's being realized here once again at Golden Paramount in Richmond.
Imagine you arrived at a restaurant where the exterior was all wrapped up so you couldn't see the inside, and all you could see was the LED marquee sign by the door. Then, as you were led into the restaurant the interior décor made you feel like you entered a night club, and you started thinking to yourself, what the heck did I get myself into?! That's kind of how I felt when I went to 0755 Restaurant and Lounge in Richmond. And then we were all pleasantly surprised.
Yesterday I received a pretty neat surprise at lunch. Tourism Richmond delivered some freshly made dumplings from a number of Richmond restaurants. Why, you ask? There's now a Dumpling Trail in Richmond!
Being Chinese, make stir-fry is in our blood. This time, we had a pack of Johnsonville Italiano Sausage Meat. It's most expected to be a pizza topping, or being made into meatballs. Because we also got some fresh snow peas out of my mother-in-law's garden, we decided to make a stir-fry.
