Crystal Jade's Xiao Long Bao and KungFu Panda ;)

There we were at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao in Greenhills last Wednesday and instead of feeling ecstatic, I was lifeless. I know I've got my appetite all worked up with the help of my wonderful Korean food blog, but I wasn't still able to eat much. Blame it on my hormones and those some-not-so-good-issues I had to deal with that night. And though we were in a rush (we weren't even able to stroll and buy something.) *super sadface* we still took the opportunity to try their xiao long bao and some noodle. I could have eaten much more, *sayang* but I will just do that next time.

I wasn't even able to scan the menu because my good mood was snatched away from me by the moment. My bad :( Nevertheless, Crystal Jade didn't disappoint me. The food was great and was enough to make me smile :) It was love at first sip for the noodle soup. It has the right peanut-y taste and was like a chinese kare kare for me, only I wouldn't want to have bagoong for it :p It has the right spicy taste which didn't burn my tongue and for around Php300, it can be shared for 2-3 persons. The Steamed Soup-y Pork Dumpling or the Xiao Long Bao oh my xiao long bao need to do NO effort to make me love it too. I wasn't a xiao long bao fanatic, nor do I crave for it like I do with siomai and pork spareribs but I guess, Crystal Jade has taught me the yumminess of it too. Their xiao long bao was so good that it has made me miss Po (Kung fu Panda) and made me look forward to 2011 for Kung fu Panda 2 :D

A date to be rescheduled ;)

I was so sure from the time I woke up this morning, that I will be going out tonight on a date! With the person I'm most comfortable with --- Me, Myself and I!!! It has been a while since I went out alone so I would have really wanted to try it out tonight since I won't be meeting bf, my girl friends were not available and I am scheduled for my IPL tonight after work. So it was really supposedly a night of Me-time, only to find out after arriving at work early in the morning, that our center has no power supply! And that meant, we nurses have to bring our patients to another center which is in PASIG. I live in Mandaluyong, went all my way to my work in Marikina AND learned that we were going back to Pasig for our dear patients treatments (Toinks for me =p)

And though I (we all did) welcomed the thought happily, I finished the 12 hour shift feeling SO tired (capital S-O. talaga). I found myself still wanting to push through MY date but I know I just don't have the energy for it anymore. I was so tired that I was able to snooze on my way home. (I cancelled my IPL sched nadin) 

For dinner, I knew I needed something to eat but I also wasn't as up for it anymore so I just dropped by the convenience store near my place and decided to buy a cup of yakisoba. Hehe. And I also bought hot & spicy Nagaraya, Nestle chocolate milk drink, was happy to see a box of Curly Tops and bought it as well. 

Dinner for the tired loner Me :p

I only was able to prepare the Yakisoba and left everything else in the fridge. (After ofcourse, the 'picturepicture'!!) I was glad that though nobody was home, I was able to find some hot water for 'my dinner' ;) Guess I'll just reschedule my ME time some other time. And hopefully I'll be able to do then everything I have planned doing tonight ;p
