I'M MAD HUNGRY

Shrimp Sandwich for Lunch

Layered the bun with ham, prosciutto, shrimp, and shaved parmesan. And I spread some spicy asiago dip on the top bun. The shrimp was just pan fried with garlic salt and pepper. 

Wendy’s

Spicy chicken burger from Wendy’s.

Quick Fried Rice

I had some left over plain rice in the fridge and decided to fry it up with some kind mushrooms, spam, and shrimp. I seasoned it with soy sauce and shallot sauce. It was a delicious lunch.

Spam and Shrimp Soondubu

I’m so addicted to soondubu, I tried making it at home. I looked up the recipe on  Maangchi, and it seemed quite simple. The stock is flavoured with dreid kelp, anchovies, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes. 

Hutches Harbour Front

325 Bay St N, Hamilton

My friend and I came here for lunch and I got their fish and chips. The fish was piping hot, delicious, and crispy. They have packets of tar tar sauce for the fish, oh god, that was goo too. They loaded the plate with fries too, but when I got to it they were kinda soggy. I’m just a slow eater. 

Homemade Dumplings

Aren’t these the cutest. I didn’t make them, a friend of a friend did though! These are filled with pork and parsley. I just cooked them in a pan with half an inch of water, then pan fried them with oil to brown them for the crunch. 

Bernardino’s Deli

127 Plaines Road West, Burlington

My friend and I stopped by here to grab a quick lunch before heading off to IKEA. We picked up our lunch at the deli, and I had no idea that there was a restaurant attached to it until my friend pointed it out. I got the Salmon and the Greek salad. The salmon was either grilled or pan fried, then served cold with a topping of tomatoes and cucumbers, seasoned with parsley. It was really good! The Greek salad on the other hand, it was seasoned well, but the ingredients seemed a bit soggy.

I read a few terrible reviews for the restaurant attached to the deli. Maybe just stick to the deli!

Alirang Korean Restaurant

354 Main Street West, Hamilton

The first soup is called Gamjatang, pork bone soup. Easily my favourite Korean soup. This soup was different though, good different. I’ve never had pork bone soup with such an intense and strong pork bone taste. It had a fantastic balance of spice and meat flavour. YUM.

The second soup is Seafood Soondubu, which is a spicy soft tofu soup. All the seafood made it sweet and delicious. The stock was definitely strong and flavourful.

All you need for the stock is dried kelp, dried anchovies, garlic, and dried shitake mushrooms. To add spice, you just need the hot pepper flakes. Add whatever you like to bulk it up. The main ones are seafood, beef, curry, and chicken.

Alirang Korean Restaurant

354 Main Street West, Hamilton

This is a new Korean restaurant that opened within the past month or two. It’s on the corner of Main and Locke on the left side, there is minimal parking at the back. 

Banchan included kimchi, beansprouts, seaweed, and potatoes. They were all delicious, especially the seaweed!

The soup is called Galbitang, it’s a beef rib soup with vermicelli. It’s quite simple and refreshing. 

Kenny’s Noodle Restaurant

4733 Steeles Ave E #7, Toronto

Came here for a quick dinner. Ordered four season beans, half a chicken, and this steamed shrimp fried rice. Food was pretty good!
