New Cabinets & Chinese Food Night

Yay! new cabinets are in - there is hope for somerville kitchen after all and for the cat to regain lost territories.

somerville camp suddenly looked very boring and I had no intention of cooking in it. Chinese food delivery from Mui Garden was in order.

But delivery is for a minimum of $35, and that is a lot of food. Well, two nights of dinner came out of this order.

No Chinese dinner is complete without plain congee (and not every restaurant has it nor does it well). This was a good congee, albeit a bit watery. The "large" order for $5.50 included three of those bowls you see in the picture.

The deep fried Wontons were very good and went well with the congee.

The restaurant's curry was highly recommended, and it was tasty. This was the chicken curry with a flavourful coconut milk-based sauce with red peppers and chunks of potatoes the size of a child's football.

Seasonal vegetables with sliced pork on rice. Somewhat plain (but I like it plain). The pork was a bit leathery and anyone would have mistaken it for chicken.

The "seasonal" vegetables included Chinese broccoli, four slices of carrots and some mushrooms. Maybe I won't order this dish again.

The beef with black bean chow mein was one of the nicest items ordered. The black bean sauce was not very strong, but the dish was spicy.

Handy place to order from, I hear the fish curry is excellent. Give it a try when your new cabinets are in and you are too excited to cook.
