Abalone and A Truck-Load of Minced Garlic!

Going to a Chinese restaurant for dinner doesn't mean I need to leave stuffed. Just order prudently. Tonight at Yan Ting, I didn't feel like something super heavy for either. S doesn't have a giant stomach. So we decided on just three items to be shared between us. 

We settled for an abalone and a homestyle seafood mee sua. The abalone came with a small bit of broccoli. Each time I see broccoli, I grin. I have been pronouncing it as bork-ko-li. Well, I was steaming them for the floofs. BORKKOLI sounds about right. S wanted asparagus, so a stir-fried version satisfied her need for greens. 

S said she didn't want to do alcohol tonight. So I didn't bring any. I looked at the wine menu and they've clearly refreshed it. Not too bad now. I decided to have a glass. In the end, the drinkable glass became a bottle split between us. LOL I even thought that minced garlic and chilli padi went well with tonight's easy pinot noir. Hahahaha. I had TWO servings of minced garlic.
