That looks very appetizing.

Was very good indeed, and probably my first "healthy" dinner in quite some time lol

I say healthy because making the broth was quite something. Mixed water, some beef consommé I made some time ago that I had in the freezer, a dash of rice vinegar and some miso paste, and then added some ginger, garlic, szechuan peppers, peppercorns and let that simmer for 45 minutes. Nothing complicated, I know.

Until I decided that I wanted to make it clear since I certainly wasn't going to use this precious beef consommé to make a foggy broth. So I strained everything with a cheesecloth, but it was still not clear enough due to the miso paste mostly. And my first idea was that trick with a towel you can do when you want to get what remains at the bottom of a mayo or other bottle. So, I poured everything in a bottle, put it in the center of a towel that I folded lengthwise, and started spinning it for a good 4-5 minutes non-stop with my arm. Decided to do it 2 times for good measure, before putting it back in the pot to add the rest of the ingredients.

Now my arm hurts, but it was worth it for the picture, I guess. :laugh:

Is it a good pad thai? have had some super ones and some so-so,but such a variation in them? which is for reals. Tried making it a few times,but can't find the elusive method that the good place makes.

This was not the best I have had but it was OK. Of course Carlito loves it so I have to sit and remove the spring onions for him. He likes sushi as well so I gave him a couple of sushi, one was crispy spider crab the other was a combo of avocado, tuna, and salmon. He has good taste and is getting extremely spoiled. I mean he spits out the cherries from the black cherry ice cream and he wants some heavy whipping cream on top.

What's so special about a bamboo steamer that can't be found in a Chinatown:confused:?
Click to expand...
Well, I could totally find a bamboo steamer in chinatown. But there are two issues:
1) I ordered it in April (well, I had my brother order it for me since he's the one in the family with prime), when most non-essential shops were closed. It wasn't supposed to take that long to deliver. :\
2) I live in Quebec City, not Montreal. We don't have many asian stores here. Before the pandemic I did visit several cookware stores in the city, but couldn't find anything, not even a stainless steamer with a completely flat and large bottom.

I love it when the misses goes to town and makes sushi and sasimi,like lightning in a bottle! Not sure if I should eat it or frame it and put up on the wall.:)

I know, they look so beautiful, I love sashimi as well.

I couldn't sleep last night so I finished the sushi at around 02:30 AM. I had the fan on loud and I sneaked to the kitchen with a little flashlight not to wake up the Sushi Monster sleeping soundly. I managed to finish it before he came and demanding his share so I had to give him a slice of cake instead and a green chew bone for the teeth. He is so spoiled. :)

Sorry for the long delay,but in Montreal they are easy to find. Guess living in the prettiest city in North America has a few draw backs.

Yeah, especially when it comes to asian stuff. There's a small community, but nothing like Montreal.

We have like two specialty asian grocery stores (La Montagne Dorée and Aliment Toyo, but the latter is way overpriced).

Only 1 bubble tea place that I know of that use tapioca pearls (Café Pékoe - there might be 1-2 other in the city, but long shot, seems like they all use jellies or alginate pearls). While I have the stuff to make them at home, it's always annoying and I have to buy huge bag of tapioca pearls that I need to throw away after 8-12 months without half of it being used since I want one maybe once a month. Chatime is funnily enough one of the things I miss the most about Montréal. :'(

My brother looked and it seems I may receive it next month, but he contacted the seller and asked for a refund, instead they offered a 25% refund (8$!) due to the delay in shipping, so we might just take that. Will still go look at Linen Chest which I didn't think about last time.

OMG! I am so full , since it was payday I celebrated with a delivery of Korean Rib Eye aka Bulgogi, Kimchi and steamed rice. It was sooo good and I smell like a giant elephant garlic! It was pricey but well worth it.
