On this particular day I was craving some authentic Asian food for dinner but I wasn’t in the mood for cooking. So I took my sweet time looking at Teahouse paper menu that we have at home and made my careful selection of dishes I wanted to order. I made a list and everything! Picked up my phone and called Teahouse and come to find that they’re closed on a Monday! Argh, was so looking forward to eating their food but what a let down.
I’m getting so sick and tired of eating frozen food packaged food. It just doesn’t hit the spot. So since I needed to go to the post office anyway, I figured I might as well make a stop at the local Asian grocery store.
So in these scenarios where I’m about to cook dinner, I let my cravings guide me to what I intuitively want to eat and I decided to make a pork belly stir fry. I decided to cook stir fry just because I needed to incorporate more veggies into my diet since all these packaged food were depriving me of quality fresh ingredients.
