New World Dim Sum

Italian style chicken nuggets!

a little snack before heading off to dim sum for a friend's bday.

The food looks delicious but to be honest it wasn't all that great. I'm surprised it got 3 1/2 reviews!

After lunch we went to Midnite cookies to honor a groupon T recently purchased for me. We got 3 cookies, a brownie and two shakes. These cookies were the softest, chewiest, most delicious cookies I've had in a reallllllllyyyyy long time. SO GOOD!! I'm already thinking about when we can go back..

Strawberry and chocolate milkshakes

Sunday afternoon playtime w. the Nomes.

The luuurve of my life!

Pizza and Scream 3 for dinner

Breakfast and Zumba! Getting ready for my first teaching gig this Friday.

I also went running outside for about 30 minutes.I was planning on doing my Cto5K Iphone application since I hadn't been running in a few months but turns out I didn't need it. I kept on running after the first 1 minute. :) Woo Hoo! I'm back!! Nonetheless, I really recommend this type of program for non-runners.

Italia!

I'm not sure if this fryer was such a good idears....

On second thought.. maybe it was! I heart fried potatoes :)

Dinner was back at Ukai Sushi for round #2 with the hubby.

Eel tamaki roll

Salmon sashimi- so fresh and buttery. mmmmm...

Salmon and avocado maki

seafood udon

beef and mushrooms in overly salty sauce. The sauce would have been very tasty minus the overkill on the salt.

Veggie spring rolls. Perfectly crispy with sweet dipping soy sauce.

soft shell crab roll. This is the one time I would boycott frying anything. The fried outer seaweed was masking all the flavors inside the roll. Sad face :(

Dessert wasn't anything to complain about. We picked up a red velvet and sticky toffee pudding cupcake from Hummingbird on the way back home to pair with our Ben and Jerry's Fairly Nuts ice cream. We also continued our Scream marathon w. Scream 2. I don't think my hubs likes the triology thus far. ha! I don't really think I enjoy it that much either this time around... I hate getting old !

Fun fact: We're going to Milan next weekend!!! Amo l' Italia! Ciao Ciao!

Perfect combinations

We made our own french fries!

Dooood! I love our new deep fryer

Sadly, the only contribution I made to last night's dinner was cutting of the potatoes and cleaning.

Patiently waiting for the chicken to fry.. Waiting is always the hardest part..

Double fried baby.

K.F.C. I think I died and went to heaven. Yummy!!!

Looks like I caught someone red handed!

So delicious that I even took a solo picture!

Mini fried chicken breast bites

...dipped in spicy mayo sauce..Before we started frying everything, I was very hesitant thinking about how bad frying is for you but after tasting everything I was wondering what to fry next ! Maybe a snickers bar? a twinkie?? I think I remember reading somewhere that fried foods are as addicting as drugs. It's like CRACK! lol..okay not THAT extreme but I can definitely see the comparison.

We met up w. friends for breakfast at the Modern Pantry this morning:

We almost had this room to ourselves. http://www.themodernpantry.co.uk/

Chocolate croissant

T's smoked salmon with yuzu hollandaise sauce. I had a bite and it was really good!! The yuzu hollandaise was a nice touch to the standard sauce.

My winning bacon and waffle dish. I wanted something different this morning than the standard eggs and toast breakfast and boy was I glad I went this route!!

Waffles and bacon= the perfect sweet and salty combination. I made sure every single bite had a bit of waffle and bacon. Absolutely diivine!! ***Not for the lovers of crispy bacon*** this bacon was soft and chewy. My favorite style of bacon!

We stopped by Chapel Market before heading home for a little sweet treat.

Nutella and banana. Talk about a day of perfect combinations. Good way to start a Saturday!

KFC... not to be mistaken with Kentucky!

Dinner was a bit random last night. T and I split a burger and some cauliflower/brocolli cheesy mash with leftover salmon and quinoa from my lunch earlier.

Dessert was decadent and delicious: White chocolate creme filled pastry. O.M.G. So good!

 Breakfast was more of the same: Half a sesame seed bagel w. yogurt and fruit!

 Perfect fill me up for my Zumba session this morning!

 Lunch:

 Oven baked chicken seasoned w. cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder

 Sauteed peppers

 It all tasted great! I love healthy lunches :)

So excited for tonights plan: We're making Korean Fried Chicken in our new fryer and I'm making the hubby watch the Scream trilogy before we go see Scream 4 later this weekend. Can you believe he's never even seen the first one?! I was ob--sessed back in the day w. Scream. Holler back to 1996 baby.
