Hi guys!\u00a0 Scott and I went out to dinner tonight with some friends.\u00a0 We went to a new-to-us place called Hunan Lion.\u00a0 For those in C-bus or surrounding area, this was located on Bethel Road.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the afternoon I had a wee snack.\u00a0 I knew I would not make it till 6pm without eating something.\u00a0 I made a plate of two prunes and 6 smoked almonds.\u00a0 My camera was sitting on my desk in the office so I took my eats in there for a snap.\u00a0 I sat down and then ate my food without getting a picture!\u00a0 Doh!\u00a0 Sorry about that.\u00a0 But I did have three banana chips and got a picture of that!<\/p>\n

\"only

only 3 <\/p><\/div>\n

Love banana chips, do not love the fat of banana chips. Yuck. So I keep my nibbles of them small.<\/p>\n

\"menu

Our friends were waiting for us when we got to the restaurant.\u00a0 I loved the decor of this place.\u00a0 And even though it has no windows, it was very open and airy.\u00a0 Yet at the same time very cozy and relaxing.\u00a0 Not loud at all.\u00a0 Our friends ordered the bamboo shrimp for an appetizer and shared one with me!<\/p>\n

\"bamboo

bamboo shrimp <\/p><\/div>\n

Oh so good!\u00a0 This was my first time having bamboo shrimp and I’m hooked.\u00a0 I don’t think I could eat more than two at a time but mmmm so good!<\/p>\n

\"veggie

veggie spring roll <\/p><\/div>\n

I got veggie spring rolls to split with Scott for an appetizer.\u00a0 I had half of one, these things were gigantic for spring rolls!\u00a0 Dipped in some of the sweet and sour sauce.\u00a0 My entree was hunan veggies with steamed white rice.<\/p>\n

\"hunan

hunan veggies <\/p><\/div>\n

Check out those veggies!\u00a0 Yum!\u00a0 Bless the server because he informed me that this dish is actually served with a white sauce (wha, the wha?) and asked if I would rather have a spicier brown sauce.\u00a0 Yes please!\u00a0 I loved the veggies!\u00a0 And even though it was a basic combo of broccoli, carrots, snow peas, bok choy and some asparagus (along with mini corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, none of which I eat.) it was very tasty!\u00a0 The menu was pretty extensive and I would have liked to have had more time to look things over but didn’t want to hold up the party too much.<\/p>\n

I ate most of my veggies.\u00a0 First helping with a small scoop of rice, second helping just veg.\u00a0 I brought the rest home.<\/p>\n

\"Scott's

Scott's dinner <\/p><\/div>\n

Scott had a hunan shrimp and scallop dish which he ordered extra extra extra spicy.\u00a0 I had half a scallop of his and it was yummy!\u00a0 Spicy but nothing I couldn’t handle. ;)<\/p>\n

We got our fortune cookies and I loved mine!<\/p>\n

\"my

my fortune <\/p><\/div>\n

I have never had a fortune that said, “Fortune Cookie Reminds You…”, too funny!\u00a0 I kept it. :D<\/p>\n

Now we’re back home and chillin’.\u00a0 I’m still a little hungry so I’m going to have a wee snackie while watching the tube.\u00a0 Catch ya later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
