Lunch Out With Friends

Went out for lunch with some friends at Hakata Ramen. This is my favorite restaurant to go to when my boyfriend and I don't feel like going too far for noodles. From the outside, it doesn't look too nice and the location may be the reason why it doesn't get too much traffic (although it is only a street down from St. Catherine..) But the ramen there is amazing :) I'm quite a picky eater when it comes to Asian food, but this place gets my approval. The servings are just the right size and the prices are very affordable given the ambiance and setting. 

The boyfriend ordered his usual, Crispy Chicken Miso Ramen. The crispy chicken is amazing, but I don't order it because I don't like the miso soup base that much. As you can probably tell, he couldn't wait for me to take pictures before digging in. 

And I also ordered my usual, Curry Chicken Ramen. I find the curry soup base alot more appealing than the miso... but I never really liked miso... so I guess that might be why. I

 Such a pretty bowl of ramen!

Chinese New Years Eve

Happy Chinese New Year! 恭喜发财！Well technically it's tomorrow but I might not have time tomorrow :P I'll be busy sweet talking my way to red envelopes :)

I went to have dimsum with my family this afternoon and forgot to bring my camera :( So we're just left with crappy cellphone pictures, I didn't take pictures of everything, I couldn't deal with the horrible image quality.






We went to a new restaurant in Chinatown, Le Cristal Chinois (水天一色）. It's located on the 6th floor of the Swatown building. The location and setting is very nice and modern. A very nice change to Ruby Rouge. And personally, well worth the pricier dimsum. The food was decent and the floral sweet dimsum is a New year's special. Although it was too sweet for my liking, it was a nice decorative piece before it was eaten. Business owners in chinatown are slowly renovating their places to appeal more to the general public. Smart move in my opinion.
