14981 - Elite Tapas
Went to Benny’s restaurant “14981” with Edison, my co-worker at Graphically Speaking. Benny prepared an awesome menu for us, so at last I got to taste the great food he cooked at my place during the last couple parties, at his restaurant. I knew it’s going to taste way better and turned out it really was.
The mussels and black cod were tenderer than the ones he cooked at my place, the caesar salad was great (I’d prefer less bacon on top), and the lamb rack was amazing (liked the “balsamic glaze” sauce a LOT, got to ask him where I can get it from.) I generally dislike lambs due to its “unique” flavor, but I can’t deny the fact that this one was really delicious. Edison liked it a lot too, especially the fish.
We went to Aberdeen Centre in Richmond to get these popular cream puffs from Beard Papa (an extremely popular Japanese bakery that makes delicious cream puffs). Edison wanted to get some for his girlfriend. I had their puffs couple years ago in Hong Kong and it was so tasty that I never forget, so I was stoked comming to know that they have just opened their first Canadian store, and it’s in Richmond! It was a huge lineup, around 30 people, and we had to wait for an hour and half.. well, the wait turned out to be well worth though as the puffs were sooooooooooo good. I bought six (limited a dozen for each person), I think I still have one left in the fridge and it’ll likely be gone tonight
