Supper Club Szechuan Style

After a long day of work in the freezer room and a lovely hour-long massage/chiro appointment, Jack and I headed out for January’s Supper Club.  This month we all converged on a szechuan restaurant for a Chinese New Year family style meal.  There was more than enough food to go around and in the spirit of What I Ate Wednesday…

…have a look at the offerings –>

Some puff-like thing filled with fruit flavored tapioca

I’m not a huge fan of spicy food so it was hard for me to taste much of anything beyond “hot” after a few bites.  Because of this my favorites of the night were probably the fish and the garlic beans, the former because it was the first thing I had (while I still had active taste buds) and the latter because they were salty, non-spicy, and garlicky as all get out.  I took the remainders from our table home.

I can’t wait to dig into these for leftovers sometime soon.  Delicious!  In other news today, Jack and I got a Sam’s Club membership.  The first thing I bought: Aunt Millie’s bread, two for $3.28.  Considering that most stores sell ONE load of this bread for that price, I only need to buy bread 7 times (14 loaves) over the course of the entire year for this membership to pay for itself in savings.  Cool huh?  Well everyone, I am off to bed.  I need to be at work by 8am tomorrow which means I need to catch the 7:30am shuttle.  See you all later!  Sleep well.

Questions: Do you like spicy food?
Which dish do you think would have been your fav?

  1. Nice to see Chinese food! I love spicy food but it always gives me a runny nose and stomachache. Worth the discomfort! Spicy tofu and twice baked fish are my favourites!

  2. I love spicy food! My favourite spicy dish would probably be bib-bim-bap, a classic Korean dish.

  3. Is that "puff like thing" a baozi?? (steamed Chinese bun?)

    Slice me off a piece of that scallion pancake! Looks absolutely delish :]
