Sufficiently recovered from the housewarming, we ventured downtown – in minus freaking 20-something celsius temperatures – to Blee’s for a Chinese New Year luncheon with two traditional Chinese New Year’s delights … do you what these are?…
1) this Chinese New Year treat is made with taro root; 2) this Chinese New Year dessert is sliced then …
3) coated in egg and pan fried; 4) the final product … what is it?…
Afterwards we headed to the Soho Metropolitan for cocktails before a lovely dinner at Xam Yue on Spadina complete with whole steamed large mouth bass; chicken in lotus leaf; huge scallops on the shell and shrimp-stuffed tofu (sans pictures as we were too hungry and simply dug in).
5) the bar at the Soho Metropolitan; 6) Blee ponders the drink choices
7) Blee and G silently slumber on the way to Xam Yue; 8) Sunday morning: Birthday boy Gary celebrates at Tennis Star Suzie’s Birthday Cake Party on Queens Quay
Happy Chinese New Year … and welcome to the Year of the Ox!
