Ohhhhhh that's right, and apparently not really nasty. Arigato!

Yea same! It's really hard to find an authentic restaurant in this city. Better in downtown areas.

actually, pretty easy if you're near the Pacific Mall area or up in Markham. tons all around there

i was being partially sarcastic...some ppl like it but the very definition of fast food chinese seems oxymoronic....it's unlikely...it's like going to an all you can eat japanese buffet...it may be plentiful and cheap but it probably won't be that good. :mrgreen:

Yea, like the Mandarin. Tho I have to admit they do have some items that are mega delicious.

I don't have an opinion on the Panda express because I haven't been exposed to it, but most of the comments I read regarding it were about the terrible quality.

it's like comparing a freshly made hamburger in a restaurant to something mass produced and waiting under a heatlamp to clog your brain with trans-fatty acids.

to each his own though...i like lots of junk food too...it's just that when i eat chinese food i have almost never eaten it in a fast food restaurant....

i'm sure they have some good stuff.....i'm sure ppl don't go there to play with the chopsticks.

time for lunch! :bonk:

my mom and stepdad are taking me out for dinner.
We're going to go eat at this place called Tony Romas. Apparently its has really good babyback ribs. So I'll be giving it a shot tonight.

have fun at dinner...the babyback ribs should be good.....well atleast it sounds good, i've never been there before....

today, at Mitsuwa mkt, they have a food fair, selling all sorts of foods, anything from Okonomiyaki, to various croquettes, to pastries, and crackers. According to a cute japanese girl who worked behind one of the booths, informed me that it is from foods all around Japan, and one of the places was from Kobe, Japan.

I had the honor of trying Okonomiyaki and it was Oishii.....pricy but worth it at $7.50, for a big piece....
also got some cookie/crackers made of green tea, but expensive, but very nice packaging, had to try it despite it being $11.90, but where else can you get it outside of Japan?...

for dinner, i got Mr. Lee's Sandwiches....i haven't had that in a very long time...along with some spring rolls. :applaud:

it is Vietnamese sandwiches....
Mr. Lee's Sandwiches is a food chain....not only in California but in other states too...not sure if it is in the east coast or Canada.
good stuff....served usually in a bagguette bread or crossiant bread with various types of meats, or bbq pork. yummy :applaud:
and the prices are cheap....the #11 special combo sandwich that i usually get is $2.70 for a full sandwich on bagguette, Spring rolls(soft spring rolls wraps with bbq pork, lettuce, and shrimp) $2.25 for a pair.

:shocked: Wow, what a steal!!! And sounds delicious, too. I'm up later than usual so I'm starting to feel the hunger pangs now. Too late to eat, tho. :pout:

yeah, its a very good price......especially how much i spent at the Japanese market....including imported green tea cookies, priced at $11.90, but they were so oishii! and can't find them outside of Japan, except at the food fair @ Mitsuwa :applaud:

speaking of Wagyu, they were selling some at this Food Fair, at the Mitsuwa market this past weekend. It was expensive.

Did you buy some, Q-san?
