Oatmeal with strawberries!

And then some!

Healthy Heavenly Foods. It's by Bear's Lair. Two summers ago, I really enjoyed their grilled tofu, egg sandwiches, and green lychee-coconut drink. Recently, I was surprised to discover that they sell Spam musubi- yummy, but I kinda wish they used plain steamed rice as opposed to sweetened varieties.


Yesterday, I decided to treat myself to their mushroom and pork dumpling and a slice of their tapioca-coconut dessert.
[Taken before I tinkered with the camera settings]
The Dumpling.
The desserty thing.

Now, I'm not the biggest critic of food because I just don't know what to critique! But these were so bad. The dumpling had like a 1:8 filling to glutinous rice ratio; I like glutinous rice most of the time but in this case, it was just too plain and greasy to handle. And the desserty thingie was stale! :( It was hard and chewy and while the flaky crust could have made up for those shortcomings, the toilet flushed before the keys could be salvaged. (hahaha, what?!)

I was in utter despair in PH150A because of these greasy globs.. until I saw this on my desk
Thank you, worm-looking thing. What a reliever of sorts.

haha don't feel bad! that's how you honestly felt about their food. their vermicelli salads are AWESOME! and so are their vietnamese sandwiches. :) they're closing at the end of this semester (unless something happens in their favor...i know a lot of people are fighting to keep them open) because panda express is coming in. ::sigh::
