Tiger Noodle House | Katy, Texas | Xiao Long Bao Fail

July 6, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Scruffy came over today after work and we went to Tiger Noodle House for dinner. I’ve been here before but my whole family wasn’t a big fan. I decided to come since they have xiao long bao and I haven’t had a good one since I was in Taiwan at Ding Tai Fung. Let’s just say, this does not even compare. No soup in the dumplings, the folds for that nice chew wasn’t there either. The ginger was sliced too thick and the black vinegar tasted off. The shrimp egg rolls aren’t the best either. Overall, I’m still disappointed at this place and have decided I won’t be back until they get their act together. Everyone who reviewed and loved this place hasn’t had a real xiao long bao, you’re in for a surprise when you do one day because this wasn’t it!

[2018] 187/365: Bulgogi Fries

We went to grab some bulgogi fries just to satisfy my fried potato hunger. It hit the spot. We went home and spent time with Mum where we played three rounds of Sequence (I won!) and Scruffy and I played LIFE! (I won, too!).

Now he’s playing his golf app game while I blog but I’m heading off and we’re going to spend time watching telly until we fall asleep.

2018 Dad’s Birthday

June 3, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

We took a group picture before heading back to Houston. Scruffy and I stopped by Hong Kong Cafe, ordering takeout. While we were waiting for our food, we stopped by the sushi place next door and enjoyed a few pieces. Once we got our food, we stopped by Eck Bakery and picked up a dozen of egg tarts for Dad. When we got home, we ate our foods then showered, waiting for Sissy and BIL to arrive.

We played San Juan, a new board game Scruffy got him. We all enjoyed it and then ended up going to Tasty Ko for Dad’s (and Scruffy’s) birthday dinner. I was surprised that we cleared out EVERYTHING. Only less than a handful of meat was left!

We then went home, cut the cake and Dad opened his presents before Sissy, BIL, Scruffy, and Luna left back to their own homes.

I’m so sleepy, I’m ready to go to bed, but not ready to go to work. I wish everyone only worked four work days with three day weekends. I feel like everyone would be much more productive.

2018 Wilson & Mei Mei Visit | Part III

April 15, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

We all woke up and headed towards Dallas before the sun came up stopping by McDonald’s for a quick breakfast.

After a long drive, we stopped by Buc-ee’s at Madisonville for gas and others to use the restroom.

Once we got there, Brudda showed the house before heading to lunch meeting up with Joanna and Kiran at Lockhart Smokehouse.

We ordered two pounds of ribs, moist brisket, two links of original sausage, two links of jalapeno sausage, deviled eggs, mac & cheese, coleslaw, beans and potato salad. Everything was delicious. My favourite were the ribs, jalapeno sausage, and beans.

We stopped by Dude, Sweet Chocolate that was next door so that Wilson could try and buy if he wanted to.

We stopped by Joanna and Kiran’s new house that’s being built then headed to Hurts Donut Company.

We ordered way too many donuts but it was nice getting to try different flavours. Everything is way too sweet and we all agreed this was more for looks than for taste. Majority’s favourite was the bear claw.

Tammy went and got Emmy a little sausage kolache to munch on. It was not too shabby but it’s got nothing on the Kolache Factory … obviously.

We stopped by Ford Center at The Star to walk around.

I went and got a lotto scratch off. Wilson bought his first lotto ticket (Powerball I believe) and we’re excited to see what the outcome is, understanding it’s quite difficult to win.

Afterwards, we went to the outlets, not knowing it was closing early due to it being Sunday. We ended up going to one store but they were able to buy a few pairs of shoes and t-shirts. We’re aiming to have a full day of shopping for them as long as they needed.

Then we met up with Joanna, Kiran, Katie, John, Sarah, and Peggy at Legacy Hall. Tammy’s parents even joined us!

I love the little quotes they have on the wall. This one was my favourite.

This place is like a three-level food court and we all bought different things so everyone could try. These were some I was able to get a taste of. Overall, the food wasn’t bad but the cost wasn’t the best for the quality. Would I come back? Probably since it’s nice to be able to pick and choose different things.

[2018] 105/365: Movie Time with Brudda

Brudda and I both edited our own pictures while we watched Pitch Perfect 3. Sadly, we’re both so tired that we couldn’t finish it. We have 20 minutes left which I guess we’ll watch tomorrow. Until then, it’s bed time for me because it’s been a super, duper, long day.

Blueberry Puffs

March 4, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

The day started off with our ride back to Houston. 6 people, 4 dogs. It was tight, but we did alright. haha Cheesy.

Anyway, we stopped by Fuzzy’s Taco Shop for breakfast. They have some cute sauce packets.

And I loved that they labeled everything. Makes it easier to dole out the tacos. And they all tasted amazing.

Bulgogi Dolsot Bibimbap | $14.99 • Haemul Udon Bokum | $15.99 • Soondubu Chigae | $10.99

After a long ride and making stops to drop everyone off, June and I went to Tasty Ko for an early dinner. Everything was so delish.

We were thinking about getting dessert somewhere else but was so happy to find out we got Sugar Cane Water at the end of our meal. Yum!

[2018] 063/365: Being a Baby

I loved Emmy’s Blueberry & Sweet Potato Puffs so much that when June and I were at HEB, I picked this up. It’s not the same brand and it doesn’t contain sweet potatoes but it is still as delicious.

I would like the one Emmy had. Please ship some to me. Thanks.

We both took a nap and the rest of the night, we relaxed by cooking our own foods (mostly for tomorrow) and watching the Oscars.

Jin Korean BBQ | Plano, Texas

March 2, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Today has been a whirl. Rizzo has been sticking by me non-stop, even during nap time, afraid that I’ll leave without him. He’s been watching me pack and wanting to jump into my purse or bag, wherever he can fit. So freaking adorable.

We made our way to Dallas for Emmy’s 1st birthday party this weekend and had dinner at Jin Korean BBQ. YUM!!

[2018] 061/365: Korean BBQ

We usually do this at home so getting to do it, all-you-can-eat, is pretty great! We were so stuffed.

Right now, I’m watching Z Storm with the parents and June, along with Rizzo, Pluto, and Krypto while Sissy, BIL, Brudda, and Scruffy are downstairs with Rocky, Bruno, and Kato playing games.

I cannot wait to see little Emmy. We got here too late so we missed saying good night to her.
