Mei Mei

  

Went to Mei Mei in town for dim sum with Holly. The last time we went there was for my birthday last year. We got there just before 1pm and there was a bit of a wait for a table but luckily we didn't have to wait long. We just ordered a load of dim sum and not any mains.

Holly got a bowl of Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup.

Char Siu Cheung Fan - Roasted Pork in steamed Vermicelli Rolls

Don't know what the top left is because we didn't order it and when we asked the waitress we don't have a clue what she said!

Chicken Feet - Chicken Feet in Satay Sauce

(This is what it says on the menu but it's defo not satay sauce and it's black bean sauce!)

Steamed Egg Custard Layer Cake - Has coconut

Har Gau - Prawn Dumplings

Lap Cheung Bao - Steam Bun with Chinese Sausage

We also ordered char siu bao but ordered it 4x before it actually came! So we ordered it with our main order, then when we said we didn't order the random dumplings we told her that we were ordered char siu bao, then we asked the same person again and ordered the Chinese sausage bun - which came but no chair siu bao. Then ended up telling what looked like the manager woman and it eventually came. Service was absolutely crap. Couldn't believe how we just didn't get this char siu bao. I was happy to leave it but Holly was adamant that she wanted them. 

Got charged 10% service fee but cos Holly paid too soon didn't get the chance to get it taken off. Because there was no service and we shouldn't have to pay it. When they seated us they just presumed we were having English and gave us a spoon and fork rather than the Chinese set up with a bowl and chopsticks. Didn't offer us any Chinese tea. Just wasn't a great experience but one of them annoying things where we could complain and I write this awful blogpost and nothing will happen or change.

On the way home I went to Maccies and got a Biscoff Mcflurry on the new summer menu

It was nice but I didn't enjoy it because I was so full - probably the most food I've eaten in the past 2 weeks as I've just lost my appetite - I think because of the heat. I thought the sauce was Biscoff but apparently it's caramel. I couldn't even tell you what it was because everything is blurring into one and I clearly wasn't paying attention. I only got it because I knew if I didn't then I probably would miss out. Hopefully I do get my appetite back soon.

Wagamama

David's home for the weekend so he met up with me and Danielle for dinner last night. We went to Wagamama in Speke.

David got the Vegan Katsu Curry - Seitan coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs, covered in an aromatic curry sauce with sticky white rice and a seasoned side salad.

Danielle got the Naked Katsu - Grilled curried chicken on a bed of brown rice, with edamame beans, shredded carrots, dressed mixed leaves and Japanese pickles. Served with a side of katsu curry.

I got the Yaki Udon - Udon noodles, with chicken, prawns, chikuwa, egg, beansprouts, leeks, mushrooms and peppers. Garnished with fried shallots, picked ginger and sesame seeds.

Vegetable gyoza

Mixed Mushroom and Panko Aubergine Hirata Steamed Buns - Two small, fluffy Asian buns stuffed with mixed mushroom and panko aubergine, served with coriander and mayonnaise.

I always seem to get the same thing.. udon noodles as they're the best noodles if you ever order noodles! It was nice apart from the gyoza has coriander in. Everything seems to have coriander in it so I need to remember to say no coriander in anything when I go.

It's always nice to catch up with David as he's not home often so we only really see him like twice a year! In the summer and Christmas unless we go down and visit London which I'm definitely due as it's been over a year now since I went to Croydon.

After we went next door to TGI Friday just to sit down and have a drink. David and Danielle both had a drink I just had a smoothie. David actually only had the one as he was driving - David is a changed man!

After we went to Maccies for an ice cream. I can't say no to an ice cream if everyone else is having one and I've done really good not to have one this week especially with that heatwave !
