Yesterday the other half had a team building event with his job. So I decided that I deserved something nice too and I decided to visit a new-ish restaurant close to where I work called Yips – dumplings & digg. Meaning Yips – dumplings and nice stuff. I went with a Chicken Bao with deep fried chicken, chilli mayo and pickled carrot, a Salmon Bao with thinly sliced salmon, seeweed and mango and kimchi fries. I did not regret my choice!
I think it is important to spoil yourself from time to time and enjoy the things you like, if you have the opportunity. The rest of the week has been very uneventful, both at work and at home. The weather looks like it has decided that summer is on it’s way to pass to be replaced by a rainy fall very soon, but who knows there might be an Indian summer waiting for us before fall takes full control. But good food always lifts my spirit.
Now I have to go pack my bag because I’m leaving for our summer-house directly from work tomorrow, and I am really looking forward to it even if the weather forecast is quite bad. But it’s still more relaxing look out at the rain away from civilization. What are your plans this weekend?
The thoughts and life of me 
Reading your post made me feel hungry, Maja! the food sounds delicious! Enjoy your time at your summer house. Kevin
The food was delicious indeed. I will enjoy my weekend, hope yours is wonderful too!
Thank you, Maja, I certainly will. I am meeting a friend for drinks and perhaps a meal also this evening. Then, on Sunday running my dog (off the lead in Crystal Palace Park) with a friend who also has a dog, then having a pub lunch. Kevin
Wow, sounds busy, but very nice
I forgot to mention that on Saturday I help a friend’s son with his poetry studies (for his GCSE poetry paper). Its only a few hours and I enjoy doing it, however analysing poems can be rather tiring but (when we talk about my own poetry) its interesting to get the perspective of a teenage boy on my writing!
That sounds interesting Kevin. And I am sure the help is greatly appreciated. And getting a new perspective on your work is always interesting.
Those look great! I love all types of food, and Baos are a terrific “hand food”…Saturday night we are going to The Hollywood Bowl, where they are showing “Jurassic Park” on a giant screen above the orchestra, who will be playing all of the film’s musical score LIVE!
That sounds like a wonderful thing to do I would have liked that, hope you’ll enjoy. The food was even better than it looked.
Bad girl, you are mking me hungry 😉 xx
Then you should go eat 😉 Baos and chips I can recommend
Looks delicious! My sister was visiting for a few days and left this morning so we’ll be putting the house back to order
It was delicious! That sounds nice, it’s lovely having people visiting, but it’s nice when they leave too. Then you can go back to normal
Lie about and try to recover from the week I think, but I am not above suddenly doing something else at the spur of the moment. 🐈🐈🐈
Sounds like a great weekend in store for you and the lovely felines.
Maja, lovely food! I’ve never heard about that kind. I’m getting ready for a trip to the state of Washington. Celebrating two great-grand children’s second birthday with families. 🎶📚Christine
That sounds like a wonderful weekend Christine. Safe travels!
Thank you! 🙏✈️
That looks really delicious!
Thank you, it was!
I’m back! Looks tasty–pass it out! I was going to say I saw an “old” like on mine on your post of 30 July 2015. I wondered about how long I been following you. 😺
Nice to see you back! If you come over I will bring you some for sure!
You have shown quite a few tasty things I have not ever eaten–thanks! 😺
Pleasure is all mine. I am sure even the cats would have enjoyed the salmon one!
The cats are like the King’s food taster, as they want to get the food off my plate before I get a taste! 😺
Haha, they only want to make sure you’re not poisoned! They are not trying to steal your food…
I’m drooling again, Maja and I LOVE Kimchi (and Korean food in general).
Have a great time (and plenty of photos to share with us 😃)
Thank you. Hope your weekend is lovely too. And there is a lot of lovely Korean food!
I wish … We live in a village and I think the nearest Korean Restaurant is about 30 miles (40 km) away 😱
Too bad, but you might get some other lovely food.
That looks wonderful. Have a lovely weekend.
Thank you, you too
Definitely important to spoil yourself, Mas. I don’t know what it is, but it looks delicious. Hugs.
It is delicious! Hope your weekend treats you good.
Love bao, looks so delicious, good choice 😉
Yes I was very happy with my choice!
That food makes me feel really hungry. It looks delicious!
It was very tasty!
