Last Saturday hubby had to work in the evening and couldn’t have dinner with us. Weekends are the only days that he gets to eat with us but if he has work, I will settle the girls’ dinner.
As I was busy and also lazy to cook and drive out for dinner, I ordered food from Shopee Food. I ordered Vietnamese noodle salad with grilled lemongrass chicken from Pho Viet for Alycia and Sherilyn. For Cass, she chose to order something different as I’ve always been ordering the same thing from Pho Viet. I’ve ordered food from other restaurants previously but none of the food really satisfied us as much as the food from Pho Viet. For food delivery orders, the food always didn’t taste as good as when eaten at the restaurant. Pho Viet is the only restaurant that never failed to satisfy us.
So Cass spent the morning browsing her Shopee app and finally ordered noodles in fish maw soup from one Yat Tong restaurant @ Kuchai Lama. I kept dissuading Cass not to order soupy noodles as I am not comfortable with hot soup being placed in plastic bags or containers. But this stubborn girl went ahead to order – with me paying 🙄
The noodles and soup were very impressive. The soup was packed in a single-use thick plastic pouch with a cap, which was leak-proof and very unique. The fish maw soup tasted and looked almost identical to the golden fish maw soup from Haidilao. The noodles had a generous serving of lean pork slices and bursting balls.
Fish maw noodles soup from Yat Tong restaurant, Kuchai Lama. Very tasty but I find the bursting balls very salty.Cass also pan fried some meat dumplings to go with her bowl of soupy noodles.Our greedy girl hoping to get a treat from her sister but nope, we don’t give her anything that’s salty.Takeaway fish maw soup stored in this thick leak-proof plastic pouch with a sealed cap.Supermoon on Monday. The moon was actually super huge but appears small in photo. My younger brother stays at one of the 3-block condos opposite ours. He recently moved in. It’s about 5-10 minutes’ walk from my condo.New skirts from Shein. I didn’t intend to post the photos here. I took the photos to write a review on the Shein website to earn points (money). But I’m very pleased with the hot pink ruched bodycon short skirt and black midi tight skirt with thigh-high slit, thus my posting here to share. Both the skirts cost no more than RM80 and the quality is very good.
