Immediately after our return from Portugal, we went to pick Poirot up (he was at his friend, Laifu's house), then invited our friend and his wife for dinner. They are our neighbors who took care of our house during our absence. When we were in Portugal, Boston had a big snow storm, and he kindly shoveled our driveway and sidewalk for us. In Boston (and the surrounding area), if residents do not shovel out their sideways within 6 hours after snowfall stops, a fine may be charged (by law). In addition, property owners can be held libel for injuries due to snow and ice (so, you may get sued if someone falls down in front of your house!!).
 本当はもっといいレストランに行きたかったのですが、私たちが疲れていたし、大晦日はいいレストランは予約で満席なので、とりあえず家の近所の瑞福酒家 (Fuloon) へ行くことにしました。I wanted to go to a better restaurant, but we were very tired and on the NYE, no tables would be available without reservations. So we decided to go to Fuloon near our house. |
 西湖牛肉羹。このスープは広東料理の店 (East Ocean City のが一番おいしい) でよく注文する私のお気に入りメニューなのですが、ここのはおいしくない。Sai Woo Beef Soup. This is my favorite soup in Cantonese restaurants (one at East Ocean City in China Town), but this one was not good.. |
 樟茶鴨。これはまあまあいけます。Tea-smoked duck. This was not too bad. |
 虎皮元蹄。豚の肩肉を蒸したものです。お肉はすごく柔らかい。Steamed pork shoulder. The meat was very tender. |
 特色醋炒飯。お酢の入った焼飯。私は押すが大好きなのでこの焼飯も好きなのですが、友人夫妻の口には余りあわなかったらしく、白ご飯を注文していました。Vinegar fried rice. I love vinegar, so I like this fried rice, too. But our friends did not seem like it, and they ordered a bowl of white rice.. |
 清蒸全魚。白身魚ですが、何の魚かはわかりません。Steamed whole fish with ginger and scallion. |
 最後にタピオカ入りココナッツミルク。なんだか今日のお料理は全体的にいまいち。シェフがお正月休みでも取っていたのでしょうか。でもまあ今年一年無事に過ごせたのでよかったです。2011年もいい年でありますように。And coconut milk with tapiocas (free) at the end. Today's dishes were not as good as usual. I guess the chef was on vacation? But anyway we had a good year in 2010, and 2011 is hopefully a good year, too. |
