diet dinner

I was editing some of my pictures when I realized I haven't had dinner yet...and it's almost 1am. Since I came home late from gym, I had to scour through the ref to look for something to eat.

My dinner turned out to be:
3 slices of raddish cake from Luk Yuen
1 medium banana
2 slices of bread with left over cream cheese

Good thing I found the cream cheese, it's due to expire by the end of the month :D I used most of it though, making Carbonara for Liska's mom's birthday (it's her favorite) :D The carbonara was a mixture of 3 recipes... So you could imagine how crossed my fingers were at that time. :P

The raddish cake of Luk Yuen was not good at all, but bearable. I miss the old Luk Yuen, during the times when it was still located at the old Greenbelt 2, when A&W was still there, and plus when there exist a street that you have a cross to get to the Chapel. 90% of the time my mom would take us to Greenbelt to hear mass, we would have lunch at Luk Yuen. Back then, the beef brisket noodles cost somewhere between 60-70 pesos, with real lean meat and tendons. Their raddish cake was crunchy not because it's fried, but because it's packed and 'malaman'. During tikoy season, for me it was "Forget all the Tikoys, but never forget the Raddish Cake". But times have changed, it's not as good as before, and its too hard to look for good food.

By the way, not so long ago, Steph introduced us to La Mien. :) Its a noodle restaurant in Chinatown. They serve EXCELLENT beef noodle soup! Their dumplings are worth every bite too :D The noodles are hand pulled and is made just before serving the soup. Everytime Lis and I were in downtown, I've always insisted the we go there. So far my hit ratio is roughly 9 out of 10. :D I will post pictures the next time we go there.

I have to get back to my pictures, I'm excited to share it to everybody and hope to get feedbacks.
