Home Renovation: Day 5
- Day 1 (17.056 Yuringi)
Took the day off work to check-in on the apartment, where all of the destruction is complete. Now the rebuilding begins.
Afterwards, we went to the mall to shop for appliances and eat lunch.
LUNCH … SNACK … DINNER
The plan had been to eat at Crystal Jade (see most recently 16.251 Dried Lamian with Spring Onion Oil), but changed course upon discovering that PF Chang’s has opened a branch in the mall.
Happy to see new items on the menu, including something Fire Shrimp – shrimp tossed with garlic + fresh chilies + dried chilies + onions + bell peppers – which isn’t really a thing (I don’t think), but I appreciate the effort, even if half-hearted in concept and half-assed in execution. As a lunch special, it came with steamed rice + egg drop soup – a bit over-priced at 16,800.
After lunch, we looked at a few refrigerators, and I was already bored, so I went back to the restaurant for a drink and snack, while W kept at it.
By the time she was done, it was dinner time.
Overall, the food wasn’t great but good enough for a return visit (we will soon live 7.8 km from the mall).
