Moved in and Rice Paper

Yea! We finally moved in. My mom is superstitious when it comes to Chinese fung shui. We were suppose to move in on the third, but the contractor were still working and the place really need some good scrubbing.

Move in time was between 9am to 11am and Aunt B and cousin K came out with their mini suv to help us load as much luggages as possible. At last we made two round trips and got everything we have from my parents into the new place.

The kiddies were overwhelmed and spent most of their day exploring and just plain running around. I hope our downstairs neighbor will not hate us more as damaged was done to their ceiling during the remodel. The vibration of the jackhammer collapsed part of their ceiling.

Eating out tonight. We decided to go to a sit down restaurant outside of fast-food world for a change.

We headed out to Rice Paper a modernized Vietnamese restau in Festival Walk. We sat overlooking the ice rink. We actually ordered a lot of food to try, good that the portions were small compared to the states. Overall the food is good.

I was bummed they ran out of the sugar cane shrimp. We ordered shrimp cakes instead. The shrimp cake itself is bland, but it dipping sauce is super spicy. The only thing that wasn't a wow factor is the soup noodle that my dad ordered with slices of raw meat. I like the French beef cubes with red rice. The beef cubes has a touch of spicy just enough to wake you up, but not bad enough to make you stay away from eating it.

Overall the price is okay and the food is good.
