FOODlog #308: Date Night with Wife

It's been awhile since me and my wife went out on a date just the two of us. Having two kids, all dates have included them in one way or another, so it was a rare and nice time spent together with my wife.

We went out for dinner at a nearby mall and tried out some food that we don't normally get to eat coz we're always thinking of the kids and what food they like to eat.

Anyway, we went to 2 different places. Our first stop was a middle eastern cuisine stall. We had lamb with hummus and a slice of cheese kunafa. The hummus was smooth, nutty, and delicious just like how hummus should be. The lamb however was under taste but was tender and was sliced nicely. It was a very presentable and yummy dish.

We then went to our 2nd stop for food which was a newly opened place that served hand pulled noodles. We ordered a cumin chili lamb noodle dish that's very popular in mainland China. We also ordered some beef dumpling which were really delicious paired with their homemade chili oil. The chili oil was definitely the highlight of the meal as it elevated the dumpling and the noodles to such an umami and flavor packed meal.

We're were stuffed and headed home after a lovely time chatting and hanging out with each other. What a nice ending to a busy day for the both of us.
