Asian Legend - Northern Chinese

I'm still stuffing my face with my girlfriend from Florida. Yesterday she had five meals...the last one with me when we ran out at 9:30pm to hunt down a large red bean slush. We hit three different places before we could satisfy her craving.

Stop number two was Asian Legend , specializing in Northern Chinese cuisine, to pick up some dessert. Look at this perfect pearl made of rice flour and black sesame paste. Served with a sweet gingery soup made this absolutely yummy. It was so smooth in my mouth and the black sesame paste was a sweet surprise as you bit into it.


This is the red bean ice drink that we drove all over the neighbourhood for. That was our stop number three. She said it was so yummy...but I opted for a cold HK style tea instead. Needless to say I didn't get to sleep until 3am!


This was another dessert from Asian Legend. It's a red bean pancake. I would say the texture is more like an Indian paratha. Crispy and sweet. Perfect for a late night snack.




Lemon Pistacio Cheesecake


My girlfriend is here for a visit and we had a potluck dinner at home. I made primerib which was the rave but my favourite of the night was the Lemon Pistacio Cheesecake from Costco. It was divine. It was tart...sweet...nutty...creamy...making my mouth watering good...
