Yummy Day with Le Chink

One of the blessings I can count in my life is having the nicest ex-boyfriend a girl can have. Let's call him "Le Chink." From time to time, he will take me out and treat me to good food, sometimes a movie or maybe dessert. Last Saturday, it was all three. 

Dinner began with a broccoli chowder soup. This was my penultimate favorite dish of the night. Best consumed while hot!

Next came a platter with drunken calamari, onion rings, chicken and veggies.  The calamari was on the bland side; the onion rings were okay; and the chicken was a bit dry. But the salad at the center of the plate refreshed and cleansed the palate--I saved a portion of that for my last bite.

Finally, the main course--salmon marinated in miso. Slightly too salty for my taste but the rice was lovely and reminded me of Japanese rice. The carrots were nice and sweet.

All in all, a good dinner. You can get these dishes at Wicked Kitchen.

After dinner, we watched G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation. I'm glad my sister told me about Channing Tatum--it took the sting out during the movie. Also, I had some questions afterwards, such as: how could the US President still be president after the stunt Zartan just pulled? And what about Snowstorm? (Le Chink answers: he's neutral evil. Ah, that helps explain it.) Rating: two and a half stars out of five.

On a side note, I tremendously enjoyed the movie It Takes a Man and a Woman featuring John Lloyd and Sarah Geronimo. There were many kilig and funny moments. Rating: Four and a half stars. If you have to choose between G.I. Joe and this movie, go see It Takes... better value for your money.

Now back to the yummy day with Le Chink. It was topped off by dessert!!!

The P72 tiramisu cup by Bread Talk was a yummy, yummy way to end the day. I liked the dark chocolate on top (too bad the "Bread Talk" label was plain chocolate) but Le Chink found the flavor too strong. So he ate more of the cake at the bottom while I took more of the upper half. Choco bliss!
