Congee Noodle Delight

Congee Noodle Delight Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Lured here by my friend with the promise of large portions.
Not that much seating but probably more than you think since the entrance is tight before you get to the "back room".

Portions are actually just OK for price since most of it is made up of cheap carbs.

Special Egg Foo Young ($14)
  • Menu doesn't say, but it contains BBQ pork slices and shrimp.
  • Shrimp were big. BBQ pork was tasteless.
  • Portion weak for $14 but you are probably paying for the shrimp.
  • I was initially told it was a mix of seafood and shellfish. It was NOT. And they did NOT give me the correct info until AFTER the dish arrived. WTH?
BBQ Duck with Rice ($9 for big plate)
  • Waste of money. Duck had basically no meat, no tasty fat. You are just getting skin plus the rice it's sitting on.
No.69 Hot Chili Minced Pork with Noodle ($7.50)
  • The menu says "Cold Meat" but the meat was hot. Huh? Still, the server insisted what he brought was correct.
  • Not spicy-hot at all. Sauce tasted like that tomato sauce from canned sardines. (No, I'm not joking).
To make your food more palatable, use the condiments. I tried the reddish vinegar and the oily chili, which was weakly spicy-hot, so use lots to get any flavour going.

Don't let my review actually dissuade you from going -- just don't order what I ordered. The menu is pretty big. They must do something right.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

How much candy can you bring to America

I have a friend in the US who used to live in Canada -- so she's noticed that some things taste differently. Such as Twizzlers . And she likes Canadian Twizzlers better. So I inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as to how much I could bring: I am visiting a friend in San Francisco later this year. She wants Twizzlers -- she says the same product in the US tastes differently from those in Canada. How much am I allowed to bring into the US for her? I don't go to the US regularly and she doesn't come to Canada regularly, so I was thinking of getting her more than just a couple of bags. Here is their initial reply: You can bring the candy to the US, and there is no set limit on the amount. All you have to do is declare the food to a CBP officer at the border or airport.
