Thanksgiving Day
It’s my first Thanksgiving in the U.S. I had never thought that I would spend Halloween and Thanksgiving in the U.S. but I did it in 2009. Things always happen without your expectation.
We went to Golden Bridge in the morning, and had a great Thanksgiving dinner in my cousin’s house in Lafayette at night. Husband of my cousin is a great cook. He cooked us a fantastic Thanksgiving meal. It was indeed a lovely Thanksgiving Day!!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Homemade desserts!!!
Non stop being under the Miami sun and eating delicious food
Be honest, I feel a little bored here during the weekend. I had been most of the places and found nowhere to go. Too bad that I can’t drive otherwise, I can drive to somewhere far. I have to stay here until almost end of November. I miss my dance class and my usual weekend activities. I just can’t do them for two months!!! Anyway, I am fine, but just feel tired with works and many kind of things happening lately….
Long time no eat…
I don’t mean that I didn’t have Chinese food for long but the delivery food YES! I am not really a VERY CHINESE person who needs to eat Chinese meal everyday. In fact, rice and noodles are not something necessary for my diet. I was so curious what the Chinese food tastes like in Miami, so I decided to order food delivery tonight. Needless to say, nothing tastes good…. I am not surprise as here is not San Francisco or Los Angeles. It made me to think of those Chinese take away stores when I lived in Seafood, England. Usually, you can find delicious Chinese food in decent Chinese restaurants of big cities such as New York, London, Manchester, Cambridge, and even Brighton. Western style Chinese food is common in small cities, or in cities without majority of Chinese population like Miami.
Anyway, I am not so into them. I ordered Shezhun style scallop with rice and hot and sour soup, but really far from original. The Shenzhun dish tastes sweet, not spicy, and the soup just tastes strange….lol
Well tried….Joyce Lee! You are brave!!…;-)
I like the paper box that keeps rice. It looks cute!!
Lunch
I have the same menu everyday for lunch. I totally run out of ideas what I should eat as I tried most of the food on the menu already. I also don’t know why we only have one menu for lunch…..???
Lunch with steaks everyday!
My colleagues love steaks. Therefore, they order me steaks almost everyday. In fact, there are not many choices on the menu for food delivery. They are always pizzas, salad, sandwich and some Cuban food. My colleagues hate pizza, well I am not big with it anyway. One of the best choices should be steak sandwich in Cuban style and chicken salad.
A little Latino cafe
The most interesting thing I found in Miami is that you can find Latino culture in every single corner. This little Latino cafe did catch my eyes. I like the decoration. It’s vintage. I like the music, and I love their MONCA!! It’s nothing like Starbuck quality, I mean much better, and ABSOLUTELY UNFORGETTABLE!! I felt like sitting in a cafe during 50s, and in somewhere South America.
Food, food, food….
My beloved French soup…I didn’t have it since my last visit in Miami…
My first Japanese meal in Miami…amazingly good!! Interesting that they don’t have chopsticks, so it’s first time to eat sushi with fork. They made sushi the same way as those in Japan, very traditional I am surprise. They just don’t eat with soy sauce, that’s!
Islamic meal
This is interesting. I was on Southern China Airline flying from Hangzhou to Guangzhou. We were distributed the “Islamic meal” on the plane. That’s what it stated on the meal, however, it wasn’t really anything Islamic. It’s weird. They called it Islamic meal. It was just a piece of bread, some Chinese dry food, and that’s……strange!! Well….you know Chinese airlines….LoL
My favourite dish of Hangzhou “Dragon Well Tea Shrimp”
This is my favourite dish “Dragon well tea shrimp”. It’s the most famous dish from Hangzhou. It’s light, tasty and well known cuisine from Hangzhou. It’s one of the expensive dishes from Hangzhou. It costs RMB88.00 in Hangzhou, but in H.K. it could cost HKD250.00. It’s not something difficult to be cooked but the trick is that you need the shrimp from West Lake, Hangzhou. This idea makes it famous. And here I am in Hangzhou!! Second trick is the tea leaf that you use. You have to cook it tasty with tea leaf that is VERY difficult.
