Big dinner in Chinatown

Last night got very cold. My chest was feeling pressure breathing and it was hard to sleep through the night comfortably. This morning I stayed in bed a bit longer and finally woke up before 11. I went to the gym and came back. Had lunch and watched a lot of random tv shows. Around 5:40 TY called to see if I wanted to hang out tonight.

My neighbor gave me some BBQ her husband just made which was going to be my dinner. Then I thought, I should go out because it would be nice to see TY and not spend the entire day watching tv. I got to his place before 7 and we decided to go to Phoenix Inn in Chinatown. We ordered 1/4 portion of their signature chicken, a fish cake dish baked with 3-treasure (eggplant, green bell pepper, and bitter mellon) in black bean sauce, duck feet with sea cucumber and vegetable, and instead of regular rice, we had porridge with fish fillet and a side order of one Chinese donut. The food was Cantonese style, so it was pretty balanced in flavor, not too greasy, and came to our table quickly. Finally we finished our dinner with a bowl of thick gooey black sesame soup. I knew I ate too much. But it was so good.

Now I'm back and watching mindless TV. Very happy we have tomorrow off too. Yay.
