I would never eat dodol when i was back home. Why eat imitation .. when you can get the real thing right..?? Well.. the times are different now.. ! the chinese have a saying.. “ma sei lok dei hang” .. meaning.. if the horse died .. you’ve to come down from the house.. and walk. Same meaning here right now.. eat the next best thing that comes along. Something so simple..and abundant in Asia.. is a gem to me. I’ve already eaten at least 3 of them so far.

I cooked this with a slow cooker.. and it was pretty easy .. i’ll have to say. All i did was .. put in some lean pork… 5 handfuls of rice.. and water filled up to 3 quarter full of the slow cooker .. add in some sesame oil.. and salt to taste.. and let it boil for 4 hrs. When ready to eat them.. all you need to do is to cut the century eggs and put them in the congee. . and sprinkle some spring onions.. and it’s ready. Yummy..!! thanks again to Barb and Sasha.. for teaching me.

A rare find.. in the tank of our local grocery store. I thought I would share this with all of you. Look at how huge the blue lobster is.  But it is caught in Canadian waters.  Would you buy and eat a blue lobster..??

Doesn’t this looked like your steamboat. Yes.. when you donch have any good szechuan or hotpot place you have to do it yourself.. if you wanna eat anything. So armed with newly bought fresh inoki mushrooms .. and some beef balls.. i added some spicy tom yum paste, plus some beehoon, this was my dinner.

Dharma Sushi is located in Argyle Street in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The owner is a Japanese, so you can expect quality sushi .. and quality food.. at reasonable prices. This trip to Dharma Sushi was just as good. Unfortunately, because there was only one chef, he can’t do any specials for me. I didn’t get to eat my favorite Chawanmushi either.
