  1. We've eaten at Paradiso in Grand Forks a couple times. I love their food. They also have one in Fargo. We have also eaten at Dave's BBQ. I can't remember the exact name. Will have to look it up for you. Also, in Fargo they have Outback Steakhouse which we haven't tried yet but they are always good as we've eaten there many times in LA. Hubby's co-worker just gave him a name of a place for us to try next. I'll have to check on that place. The Bronze something.
  2. Our Chinese food in Winnipeg is THE best!
  3. Please post about your trip when you come back. Have a good time!
  4. Wow, nice photos! Thanks for sharing.
  5. Sounds great! It's too bad we don't have Krispy Kreme in our province.
  6. Cookin' with Sue-On! I believe that would be a good name for the newest food show on Food Network in September!!! WOW, what an experience!!! I'm still boiling joongzis here! lol This morning I was up at 6 am and had a pot going. Yesterday I had 4 pots going, 2 here and 2 at my MIL's house. Tonight I will have one more pot to cook. I think with all the excitement I didn't read the grocery list carefully. I ended up soaking 4 double packets of bamboo leaves. Wow, and every leaf got used!! I am still so tired but very happy!! My freezers will be full and won't need to make any more till next year. I know I got a LOT more than 5 dozen. I was going to give some to Leslie (since she had different fillings) to bring home for her hubby but she didn't want to take them in case she ended up opening them in error. lol Thank you so much, Sue-On! You are a wonderful instructor. Very patient and full of humour and knowledge. You made the session so much fun and easy. I think I might be able to handle it on own next year. lol But think it would be more fun to work together with you and Leslie and Sija again. Amanda and Bruce really enjoyed themselves as they always do when at your house. I really enjoyed the ribs and the pork siu mai. You'll have to share your recipes with me. The ribs were just like what I had when I was a kid! Both Leslie and I agreed that the pork siu mai are a lot better than what we have in our dim sum restaurants!! The mushrooms and onions really gave it a different flavor which I enjoyed. I also like the idea of less rice and more fillings. I just had 4 of them for lunch (well, they were so tiny!!!) and I sure didn't have that heavy, full feeling that you get from eating the ones made by some of the Guangdong Province people! My cousins sent some over made in that perfect pyramid shape. I haven't tried them yet but I bet they will be full of rice!!! Now, for next year I think I'll make some changes with fillings - more duck egg yolks, less peanuts, Chinese mushrooms, Spanish onions, more chestnuts, lop cheung with liver inside, might try curing my own pork and maybe even some of the dried shrimp!!! I'm proud to be part of your family, Sue-On and thank you again!!! BTW, Bruce's pics were not the greatest. Hope Bill's got some good ones to share. I will send you the ones we have. Let's talk about our next cooking session??!! ;-)
  7. The Empress Pavilion is really, really good!!!
  8. This is the way Amanda enjoys the noodles too!!!
  9. Tavern in the Park? Oh! I'm hoping a nice dessert (mostly take-out) opens in R.H. sometime in the next month or two ← Pam, You will have to give us the name and address of your new place! Would love to pop by and check out your desserts! Last year for MIL's birthday, instead of ordering a birthday cake we just picked up some fancy desserts. Everyone really enjoyed!!! Might do that again this year. Lily
  10. Kum Koon has dou fu fa on weekdays now if you are interested. We were just there on Monday. My gf and I had their buffet and no room for dim sum. I believe they have the best fried rice!!! Buffet is from 12-2. Next time I go will be for dim sum. It seems they have a huge variety on weekdays now.
  11. Pine Ridge Hollow is another great place! We were just there for Mother's Day. www.pineridgehollow

  13. Filling for my rolls: I use coleslaw mix (pre-chopped cabbage and carrots), onions, LOTS of garlic, waterchestnuts, ground pork, seasonings and don't cook the veggies.
  14. Forget Prairie oysters... try Manitoba lobsters! Article on our front page this morning: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com
  15. I was just going to say that Victoria Seafood is on St. Mary's Road. I mentioned this place to hubby last night and he tells me we had dinner there YEARS ago. Yes, Sun Fortune is an excellent place to eat at too. They have good BBQd meats their and even make their own Chinese long and round donuts (goes with congee). They are the only place I've heard of that marinates their BBQ pork with peanut butter. They didn't really want to tell us their secret. lol But with my daughter's nut allergy and seafood allergy, we always ask about ingredients in any restaurant we eat in. At first they just kept saying for her to stay away from the BBQ pork. Finally it came out about the peanut butter.
