A whole bunch of take out from T&T Supermaket – the fried fish was particularly good and the sweet and sour pork was great! And this dinner for three is under 18 dollars- this easily fed five people. How I wish prices and food sizes were like this back home.
Shopping in Pacific Mall where parking on Saturday is worse than parking in Boxing Day at West Edmonton Mall.
Lots of eye candy in the mall, but once you see it, you’ve seen it all. It gets tireseome pretty quickly. There’s lots of repetitive services in the mall.
Some vendors in the mall.
One tray is 4.99. So good. Mandarin style restaurant.
These were filled with fresh green onions. SO GOOD.
Hot and sour soup that I would love to have right now.
Fried woo tau with sugar caramelized on the outside for dessert.
Fun, friendly and delicious/cheap. This is my kind of restaurant. Less work on the decor and mroe on the food.
Fried beef and mushrooms for dinner.
Home made maki rolls. We ate these six days later and they look absolutely disgusting now.
Shopping in Yorkdale mall, where the mall is so balling that the Chanel store closed to the public for a private buyer- this is the mall that made me realize that Edmonton’s finest Southgate Mall really could not compare.
Hudson’s Bay is ridiculosuly balling here. This is the entrance to the department store.
Big Swarovski Christmas tree that rotates.
Magnificently high ceilings. I spent all my time in the Microsoft/Sony store and then crammed out some paper readings in the mall while waiting for W and her mom.
Afternoon tea at a pretty cheap place- this combo was a nice curry beef stew with soup and cold HK style milk tea. Pretty good.
Chow mein was monster sized.
Cheap and ok- and still better than most places in Edmonton.
This wasn’t so good- this was at another cheap afternoon tea place and the chicken just did not compare to Phoenix Restaurant. It was tasteless and hard.
Fish and chips- this was great- the fish was fresh and battered in tempura flakes.
Oily fried spaghetti.
WHAT IS THIS. I decided to do it. They were selling these at cost and the headphones were too rare for me to pass up for a brand new in box at cost opportunity. I just need to be really careful about them- they aren’t made anymore and they feel delicate- not like my pro oriented studio monitor cans I have. They are so light- this made me feel they were really cheap feeling at first, but then I realized this was the design element for comfort. They are my first open air audiophile grade cans and I LOVE THEM. The Sony MDR-SA3000 sound fantastic and are a clear complement to my collection- just a wide open sound stage with emphasis on sparkly highs. I tried some rock and hip hop on these and like I expected, they were terrible. But the classical/acoustic/bordello music sounds amazing. I’m listening to Sara Slean on these and she’s just amazing on them. Its just so much more than a boosted equalizer. So impressed with this and happy I managed to snag these at a fraction of their MSRP.
