[2015 Movie] Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

Hello, blog, and everyone reading it- I know I don't have a lot of readers here, but then I'm also lazy... so ... we're even hahaha.

I watched the Avengers 2 today... There are many plot lines running in this SUPER LONG movie. It's a decent action movie with lots of actions and CG (computer graphics). Many epic (ish) landscape, high-tech laser filled actions and flying objects. I would've appreciated some more martial art styled hand fights, but I mean... no one does that nowadays? It's still worth watching given the well-loved cast and the decent plots. Watching in 4D might have been exciting, because there are many flying and dropping scenes. 3D wise, I didn't think it's that great. I didn't feel like it's epic enough :P. There are some (quite a bit) comic relief here and there, but I don't like how they all felt like they were forced in there. Many of the jokes weren't really worth the time.

(The rest of the articles shouldn't have spoilers, either- there wasn't much to spoil anyways= =)

[2015 Food] Parklane Chinese Restaurant - Dim Sum

HEY~~
I'm back~~~
All my final exams ended on the 28th, I took a few days to catch up on my work and sleep.
Finally, I can start blogging again :D

I still have to write articles for my dine out exp. about 4 months ago (time really flies...)
Don't think you wanna hear any of my stressful life stories, let's just go on with the food~
Today, I want to start with the Dim Sum / Chinese Restaurant I went on April 5th.

Taste ★★★★☆ 

 Portion ★★★☆☆ 

 Service ★★★★☆ 

 Cost $$ 

Recommended - Wait was not long, price was fair, taste was decent. Service was pretty good. Overall, a really good experience.

We went there on Sunday noon- couldn't find a place for dim sum without having to wait more than 30 minutes, so we were recommended to this place. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice (middle-upper class for Chinese restaurant). It is fairly large with many spaces for large groups of people.

Here are the items we ordered:

Dim sum order-sheet and our orders

6. Steamed Beef Ball 山竹牛肉球 - This seems to be the dish all people love to order at dim sum places - I don't fancy it too much. They had cooked it really well here with good soup.

2. Steamed Minced Pork Dumpling 飛魚子燒賣 - I love this! I love shao mai (the yellow skinned dumplings like these). The meat(grounded pork) was nicely cooked. The soup leaks out when you bite on it. Fish eggs on top add to the aesthetics, taste & texture.

1. Steamed Shrimp Dumpling 百樂鮮蝦餃 - I don't think I need to say much. Tastes great. If you love shrimp, you can't miss it. The gelatin-like dumpling cover did not have weird taste and is just the right hardness/softness.

42. Steamed Dried Shrimp & Green Onion Rice Roll 蝦米蔥花腸粉 - I always order this at dim sum places. Eat this with the sauce they provide (sweet and salty). Tasted good. Don't think you can mess this dish up anyways XD.

34. Steamed Egg Yolk Buns 黃金流沙包- This is sweet with liquidy egg yolk nicely enclosed in a bun. I am not a big fan of sweet dim sum dishes, but this was very tasty. 

10. Steamed Pork with Liver 懷舊豬潤燒賣-  I love this dish! Tasted great. Good soup, liver didn't have the stink. Pork meat ball did not lose its taste and scent in the soup.

32. Steamed Duo Crystal Dumpling 鴛鴦水晶包 - This is a sweet dish. Its got fillings of red bean (dark red) and green beens (white) sauce/paste in them. Really great for dessert if you like Chinese styled desserts. 

For 4 people we ordered the above + 2 extra orders of #2 & 10 and reordered additional lunch special (8.95) dish of fried noodles. The portion is decent for a dim sum place (they are really meant for side dishes, according to my Canto BF).

I think this was a good place to dine- plus, it's close to the Brighouse & Landsdowne skytrain station. Commuting is easy enough. Great for a large group of friends for a dim sum outing!

Alright, next restaurant. ttyl

Bye Bye~ ★
