So Good Chinese Restaurant located at 10610 Bayview Ave Unit 2 and 3 in Richmond Hill I’ve visited So Good Chinese Restaurant in Richmond Hill numerous times now.  We first dined here for lunch (after we visited the next-door EarlyON Child and Family Centre) for the first time last year and recently came here for lunch yet again.  We’ve also dined here for family dinners more than three times and…

Options for Panamanian food are scarce in New York City, but restaurants like El Carnaval do offer them, with dishes like fried fish with coconut rice, pigeon peas, potato salad and plantains.Credit...Jose A. Alvarado Jr. for The New York Times

Only a handful of New York restaurants serve the food of Panama, despite the city boasting the largest Panamanian population in the United States. New restaurant owners want to change that.

For years, Karla Cruz has searched New York City for dishes reminiscent of her childhood in Panama, like sancocho, tamales and carimañolas, but there was nothing that emulated those foods she loved. So she promised herself that if there was ever an opportunity, she’d open her own Panamanian restaurant.

In New York City, where the national dishes of so many countries are available, Panamanians living here have been surprised at the scarcity of restaurants serving their cuisine. This challenge has inspired restaurateurs to fill that gap in recent years.

“I wanted something that would transport me back to Panama,” said Ms. Cruz, 45, in Spanish. She opened KC Gourmet Empanadas on the Lower East Side in 2019 and El Carnaval next door in 2021.

There are about 210,000 Panamanians living in the United States, according to the Pew Research Center, and about 35,000 of them call the state of New York home. Despite this, it’s been a struggle to find restaurants serving their cuisine, especially after the renowned Panamanian Kelso Bistro and Bar in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, closed in 2017 after 55 years.

Mario E. Castrellón, the chef and owner of Maito in Panama City and several other restaurants in Panama said that Panamanian food is still relatively unknown in the United States.

There are a few upscale restaurants pushing the boundaries of the cuisine, Mr. Castrellón said, but chefs are still defining what Panamanian food means.

Panamanian dishes can share similar names and techniques with other Latin American ones, but their flavors and use of ingredients can vary, and can include the influences from Chinese, Arab, African and Caribbean cuisines that made their way into the country with the workforces that built the Panama Canal. “We’re a melting pot of flavors,” he said.

For Ms. Cruz, who found some familiar flavors at Kelso Bistro, decided to put the food that she grew up with as a child on the menu at her restaurants.

At KC Gourmet, she initially served empanadas made with corn dough and fillings like spicy cheese or ground beef with raisins. After her mother and children later suggested other flavors, like mushroom or pulled pork, Ms. Cruz expanded the menu to include more than 50 types of empanadas. But her traditional Panamanian menu has not changed, with dishes like carimañolas, a stuffed yuca dish. She’s worked with distributors to find the herb culantro and the root vegetable named ñame, she said, for her Panamanian sancocho, a traditional chicken soup.

One of her most popular items is her mother’s corn tamales steamed in banana leaves. It can take up to five days to make about 100 of them. (Her mother is such a perfectionist that she and Ms. Cruz have argued with each other while making them.)

Three months after Ms. Cruz opened her first restaurant, Ronaldo Nimbley and his wife, Fatima Barrios De Nimbley, opened Nimbley Bakery in Richmond Hill, Queens. The couple spent eight months in their apartment kitchen testing at least 30 versions of a recipe for their best-selling rosca, a wreath-shaped Panamanian bread.

Mrs. Nimbley developed a passion for the bread when she tried hunting down an authentic rosca for Christmas when she and Mr. Nimbley first moved to New York City in 2013. She couldn’t find one and settled on a Mexican-style version instead.

“It’s sad that there was no Panamanian bread,” Mr. Nimbley, 42, said in Spanish. “It wasn’t what we wanted, but that’s what there was.”

Her dedication to perfecting the recipe got serious in 2019 when Mr. Nimbley began culinary school. (He’s now a chef at the Aman New York hotel in addition to baking at Nimbley.) In a notebook, the couple cataloged tweaks to ingredients like the flour and water until they landed on something that was sweet and would stay soft for days, especially for shipping the bread.

During the holidays and Panamanian Mother’s Day in December, they have been inundated with hundreds of orders in New York and 35 other states.

Mr. Nimbley said that when Panamanians find the bakery they’re often in disbelief and have cried when they taste the bread, excited that finally, they have something that reminds them of home.

“This bakery came from the sacrifices and the sadness we had of not having our bread from Panama,” he said in Spanish.

A Meal Full of Tears

She burst into tears as I pick up my order. The restaurant is struggling to survive and like many others, they are on the verge of bankruptcy. And as the pandemic gets worst, our government continues to impose more restrictions on them. Surely this lady is having a breakdown.

It all started with a discussion about how my friend and I missed hanging out together for lunch, discovering nearby restaurants that we’ve never been in towns of Markham and Richmond Hill. We usually go for simple Asian cuisines, like Hong Kong style cafes for their wonton noodles or lunch specials. Right before all this chaos, we found a place that specializes in a chicken dish braising in a traditional Chinese ceramic pot. Yang’s Braised Chicken Rice was the name and it was busy during lunchtime. Those succulent chicken bones full of juicy flavour just couldn’t stop my friend and I indulging our meal. My friend loved it so much that she purchased their VIP membership card for a 10% discount every time we go there. We went there once a week for the first month and then COVID-19 hit us. We haven’t been there since.

One night during the first lockdown, I was craving for those birds. I usually do a pick up order using Ritual, but Yang’s wasn’t available on the platform. I’ve been resistant using delivery apps like Uber Eats and Skip The Dishes, hearing negative news about how they charge restaurants up to 30% fees. Luckily, Yang’s has their own online ordering system that I can pay at the restaurant. I ordered my braised chicken with potatoes and added sliced beef and ox tongue as a side for a total of $22.57. Have I order thru the delivery apps, my dinner would have cost $34.54 plus a $6 tip by default, totalling a price of $40. I’ve done the math and these apps don’t seem to support restaurant businesses.

When I got there to pick up my order, chairs were flipped on top of tables, barricading the path like a labyrinth to ensure a six feet social distancing. I squeezed the bottle to sanitize my hand as the lady brings out my order with the bill. There was only one order on the table and I was the only customer. She brought out the payment machine assuming I’m paying by card as I usually do, but I stopped her from keying the amount as I pull out from my pocket two $20 bills. I told her to keep the change and as I walked out, she smiled with tears.

I’ve been wearing your shirt for something like the last three days now. It’s really comfortable, like all the clothes you’ve left me. I don’t know if it’s the clothes you wear or if it’s something you did to them.

I’m very comfortable in it. But then, it’s a slightly oversized t-shirt.

It’s a balmy day out today. I realise that my desire to go outside, explore, sit in cafes, etc., has fizzled a great deal. I thought my twenties was to be a time of great celebration, dressing up while I was young, etc. I realise that it’s all begun to feel almost pointless, although it’s not. I thought I was going to go out, sing more, dance more, make friends, etc. I could do that, but it all comes back to - it’s so much effort, and so much money.

I remember being surprised that K never went out much while I was in London, feeling like it was stifling to only stay in the neighbourhood most of the time. Ooft. He had a life that consisted of work and I was a visitor, so our objectives were entirely different. Now I live somewhere and I go out even less than he did, even though I have arguably more free time and less time or physical-presence at work/school commitments. There were many things I took for granted, or at least didn’t understand completely or had forgotten about, swept away by the time I spent only on what Tyrone Power’s character in The Razor’s Edge called ‘loafing’.

I mean, I’ve always been something of a homebody, but then a defining characteristic was a love for aesthetic pleasures and what the bourgeoisie called ‘the finer things in life’, the life something like of a writer, often going out to cafes and sitting and drinking coffee. And now, well, eh. I forget to look for beauty, or it passes over me like someone who’s forgotten the language.

There has to be something to go outside for. Some impetus, some reason. There’s little I want enough to move for, not close enough to go easily without too much work.

What I really miss is a landmark, something I was always glad to see or pass, even if I was on my way toward something else. When I lived in Norway I enjoyed the tram rides, but more than that I also enjoyed alighting at Nationaltheatret and crossing the square to go to my favourite cafe. I’m missing both the equivalent of National and the cafe here.

There’s a boredom to modern city centres. What I liked most, even if touristy, were the Old Towns. Or maybe it was the enthusiasm of the other people moving in that space. City centres in Australia are business places; in Sydney the city is almost empty after working hours, and similarly, in Melbourne, life really is often a neighbourhood affair for the locals. Mostly Asians stay late in the city, the way we do in Singapore, although heartland expansion in the form of shopping centres proliferates more now. There is an enclave of Chinese people in Box Hill here too, but the city is filled with East Asian foods, employees, students, people catering to this.

What I really liked about Vilnius was how even the locals frequented the Lithuanian restaurants and cafes and shops in the Old Town and other such places; they weren’t only touristy spots. Here, to my left is a declining shopping street occupied mostly with outlet shops, dress boutiques, a sprinkling of cafes, and what M described as a mostly commercial or business clientele. To my right the city. East Melbourne is a quiet, small suburb, mostly houses. I realise now that K would find this stifling, definitely not gritty enough.

I’m reluctant to move mostly because of how close I am to the city and thus to school, but effectively, I realise, it’s rather an isolating suburb. No one really stops here unless it’s to go to the MCG. Drive down Wellington Parade on your way to Bridge Road or Richmond and through to Kew, Hawthorn, etc., it’s barely a five-minute passing-through. The only other thing that abounds in East Melbourne are hospitals.

I don’t even like airport trips any more. Everyone seems to have gone out of the country at least once elsewhere on an actual holiday. It’s often that you go away from home before coming to realise you love it as much as you do. I think I need a trip somewhere that’s not Sg. Man, I wish doctors still prescribed this as a remedy, the way they used to recommend a trip to Italy, or the South of France, breathe good sea air or mountain rest, or something like that.

Creating a Successful Food Delivery Apps in Canada (For Food Startups and Restaurants)

Online food delivery apps are a major trend these days as plenty of people simply love to place an order for food from the comfort of their own homes.

Food delivery in Canada has transitioned from dialing a number, to ordering online to opening an app on your phone. While players have come and gone over the years, these days the industry has mostly consolidated with a handful of big players left.

It can be hard to muster up the strength to leave your home, or the couch, when the temperature drops lower than your motivation to cook. Luckily, there are food delivery apps that add a whole other meaning to comfort food.

You can see the revenue of food delivery apps from 2017. It’s increment:

Revenue in the Online Food Delivery segment amounts to US$9,207m in 2020.

Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2020-2024) of 9.5%, resulting in a market volume of US$13,233m by 2024.

The market’s largest segment is Restaurant-to-Consumer Delivery with a market volume of US$4,934m in 2020.

In global comparison, most revenue is generated in China (US$45,909m in 2020).

How Does The Ecosystem Of Food Ordering Application Work?

The eco-system works in three steps:

Step 1: Customers order food from the restaurant via the mobile app. Step 2: Restaurant prepares and hands over the food to the delivery partner (delivery agent). Step 3: Delivery agent delivers the food to the customer at the provided address.

The Revenue Model – How The Food Delivery App Makes Money?

There are many ways in which you can monetize your on-demand food delivery mobile application. A few but most commonly applied monetization methods are:

1. Delivery Charges

Many restaurants do not provide home delivery. So when you offer them your on-demand delivery app with food delivery personnel, then the restaurant will most likely pay you delivery charges.

The Deliveroo app made a profit of $164 million last year with this particular revenue model.

2. Surge Pricing

UberEats implicates a surge price when the demand is too high. In this process, the app limits the menu options and adds a surcharge (peak price) when the customer is placing the order. The rate of demand can be lower, but the per delivery amount can rise to a great extent in this type of revenue model.

3. Commission

The food delivery app owner can charge a commission for every order that the customer makes through the app. For generating revenue, companies prefer this revenue model.

This model not only helps in generating high revenues but also helps in creating a long-term relationship between the food delivery app company and the restaurant.

4. Advertisement

Advertisements are the easiest and fail-proof way of generating huge revenue. You can show a few restaurants in the featured section, or you can run a short video clip for them on the home screen of the app, and for all this, you can charge a certain amount to the restaurant. You can also generate revenue by running Google Adsense on your food delivery app.

Challenges You’ll Face In Entering The Online Food-Delivery Market:

1. Competition

The competition out there is fierce; anyone who is starting to develop their online food delivery app will face a lot of competition as there are a lot of businesses who are leaders in their domain.

In this condition, you’ll have to offer something that other players in this domain don’t provide. You must provide something different in both concerning the app’s UI/UX and the features.

You’ll have to figure out new ways to attract restaurants that have already partnered with other existing food delivery apps in the market. Also, you can develop a mobile app for restaurants. You’ll also have to think of better and competitive offers and discounts that you’ll use to attract more customers.

2. Finding The Right Restaurants To Partner With

In the beginning, this might strike as a hurdle. To avoid this, you can focus on low-level restaurants who are in desperate need of promotion. At the initial stage, you should instead focus on increasing the number of restaurants than concentrating on the ones that are famous among the millennials.

3. Steady UI/UX Among All Panels

All four screens in the food delivery app are entirely different and peculiar to its users’ demand. It is where your hired mobile app development agency steps into the rescue.

The app development company will have to blend both design and movement to make sure it remains constant along all the app screens.

Finding the right mobile app development company that offers food-delivery app development services will transform your idea into the advantages of mobile apps over websites.

On-Demand Food Delivery App Features:

Before developing an on-demand food ordering app, you need to know its essential features to build an extraordinary app for your food business. Now you can also schedule your meal delivery online for the same day schedule or monthly schedule for your comfort or enabling users to plan and order their meals in advance . Here are the top essential features:

Core Location Framework, Google Places API: To Find user Location

Square API, Braintree, Stripe, PayPal, eWallets: For Payment

Amazon Cloud Storage: For Storage

Google Analytics: For Analytics

Google Maps, MapKit: To Find Directions

What is the required Team Structure?

Mostly the app makes its first impression if it has a sleek and clean user interface. Hiring an experienced development team is a necessity, not a choice.

The app development team must have,

An experienced Project Manager

A skilled UX/UI Developer

Android/IOS developers with years of experience

Highly qualified and skilled backend Developers as they build the backbone of the app.

QA Teams to test the app and fix bugs

Finally, a delivery manager

Some Famous Food Delivery Apps in Canada

Just-Eat: Since it’s been around for awhile, this British company has a huge selection of places to order or pickup from. In most cases, there’s a minimum order and a sliding delivery fee starting at around $3.

Uber EATS: This app is probably the most expensive option, with increased fees for certain areas during busy times and a $4.99 delivery fee on all orders. But it’s also arguably the easiest, requiring only the press of a button before your food magically appears at your door.

Foodora: After absorbing Hurrier and several smaller delivery services, this German company has amassed a wide selection of restaurants to choose from. The site and app give you a nice rundown of the many food options and includes a set delivery fee of $4.50.

DoorDash: DoorDash is big on details, letting you customize your order down to the last bit. With a flat rate of $4.99 for delivery, you can order for groups, pre-order, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try from a selection of different restaurants for free on the first order.

Skip the Dishes: This Winnipeg based company allows for smaller orders, so you can try out new food options nearby. Delivery fees vary starting from $2.45 and could even be free if the order size is big enough.

Chanmao: This Richmond Hill based company specialized in Chinese food delivery and you’ll find a lot of restaurants that aren’t represented by the other players.

Final thoughts on reliable team of developers for your food delivery application :

Therefore, before developing a food delivery app, it is imperative that you do thorough research about this industry and domain. Such in-depth knowledge will help you to develop a successful on-demand food delivering app which will lead your business to the top of the ladder of success. So need a reliable team of developers for your food delivery application.

On your USA Quad City trip, you’ll find that the East Coast and West Coast are tremendously diverse places when it comes to the way of life, and each one serves various kinds of people.    

The West Coast is famous for its stunning beaches, its flourishing cities, and young, diverse occupants, and no matter what kind of traveller you are (explorer, artsy, family, historical, or relaxed), you’ll discover an ideal holiday in one of the many East Coast states as well.

Promising the best entertainment from morning till evening, this trip to the great USA Quad City gives you the chance to experience the best of the East and West Coast on your multi-centre USA holidays. These four destinations are the most famous cities that you could explore during your USA Quad City tour, here’s what each of them is famous for.

New York

New York is known as the city that never sleeps, is famous for the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge, you can shop at designer stores, and reward your taste buds with some of the world’s most delicious cuisines. When you’re done with all of that, you’ll have to make time for the museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, Guggenheim, and the American Museum of Natural History all top the list.      

Gourmet restaurants, well-known tourist appeals, and marvellous street art – New York has all of it and so much more. Whatever you’re searching for, you’ll come across it in the Big Apple. The one issue you’ll encounter is not having enough time to see and do everything.

San Francisco

One of the most famous and distinguishable metropolises in the world, San Francisco is home to fashionistas, hippies, and techies while also consisting of brilliant summers, monuments, architecture, fog, and rolling mountains.

It’s famous for the emblematic Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, San Francisco cable cars, as well as its wealthy and varied culture.

Los Angeles

Recognized as the biggest city on the west coast, Los Angeles is famous for its huge amusement parks such as Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott’s Berry Farm, Legoland, and Pacific Park (Santa Monica Pier).

One of the other things that Los Angeles is known for is its TV, Movie and Music Industries. LA is the perfect destination for movie buffs, as there are several movie studio tours, as well as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And, music fans would enjoy touring the music-themed attractions situated all over the city.

Las Vegas

Well-known for exhilaration and fun, this city in the desert offers up all types of options for travellers. The Strip, Las Vegas‘ popular resort-bordered street, shines with lights and reconstructed glitzy locations from cities all over the world. The Grand Canyon is just a brief helicopter ride away, and the adjacent hills and mountains are home to all sorts of leisure opportunities.  

Las Vegas is a globally recognized resort city, famous mainly for its gambling, shopping, excellent dining, entertainment, and nightlife.

Top Trendy Restaurants in the Cities

Anton’s, New York City – The rustic previous space of West Village’s Frankies 570 Spuntino has turned into Anton’s, a throwback European restaurant from Nick Anderer. The chef — who used to head the kitchens at Marta and Maialino — goes into his Italian food training with a pasta section titled “macaroni,” with choices like a bucatini amatriciana and linguini with clams. Elsewhere, discover raw oysters, salads, and entrees such as roast chicken or barbecued pork rib chop with apple sauce. Cocktails are variants on classics, which include pre-batched martinis that come directly from the freezer.

Holy Ground at 109 W Broadway, New York City – The next time you need a meat-heavy dinner in a refreshing-space, but didn’t plan far enough ahead of time to grab a table at 4 Charles or Minetta Tavern, visit Holy Ground. It’s an underground spot in Tribeca where you can envision Duke Ellington relaxing in a red leather booth having an old-fashioned and porterhouse. This place isn’t a customary steakhouse though – the Old Fashioneds are prepared with mezcal and tequila, and the menu concentrates on slow-smoked meats such as pork shoulder and wagyu brisket.

Dragon Beaux, San Francisco – A blend of classic and modern dim sum is on the menu at this always-packed Richmond District restaurant from the team behind Bay Area Stalwart Koi Palace. Everyone enjoys taking Instagram worthy pictures of the soup dumplings with coloured skins, but those in the know fill their tables with the type of inventive, accurately executed dim sum specialties you’ll come across at forward-thinking places in Hong Kong: blood-red rice rolls packed with fried fish, the city’s top sugar-crusted baked pork buns, and, for good measure, destination-worthy crackle-skinned roast pork belly. Try the winter melon hot pot with roasted squab during the night, when Dragon Beaux moves over and turns into a hot pot restaurant.

Pearl 6101, San Francisco – This restaurant has gained the hearts of metropolitan diners far past its warm, suburban Richmond neighbourhood location. In an exquisitely-tiled corner dining room, chef-partners Mel Lopez and Joyce Conway, offer customers handmade pasta and hefty wood-fired pork chops, accompanied by drinks such as the not to be missed Pearl Martini from partner/bar manager Nahiel Nazzal (it’s Oakland-distilled “sea gin” with Italian vermouth and pickled sea bean).

Olivetta, Los Angeles – There may not be a trendier restaurant in Los Angeles than Olivetta at the moment. The attractive space has four separate rooms with diverse auras, but the chief dining room with its luxurious sitting area, extravagant design, and modest noise level is the ideal spot to experience Michael Fiorelli’s welcoming but refined take on California Italian food. Try the grilled branzino, rye macaroni, and kale salad.

Found Oyster, Los Angeles – LA can always use more seafood restaurants, and this jewel of an oyster bar in East Hollywood has a compact menu from chef Ari Kolender that pulls from his East Coast upbringing. Find everything from steamers and shucked oysters to an enormous lobster roll.

Jing, Las Vegas – Downtown Summerlin’s new Japanese restaurant focusses on sushi, shareable wagyu hot rocks, and wok dishes with a menu from Joseph Elevado, the previous executive chef at Social House at Treasure Island and Andrea’s at Encore Las Vegas. Fire and water features equip the space that comprises of a courtyard and live entertainment.

Pepper Lunch, Las Vegas – A anticipated inclusion to Shanghai Plaza, the self-described “DIY Teppan” restaurant is already attracting crowds who are excited to cook their own dishes on the Japanese fast-casual chain’s signature iron hot plates, which go up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. After ordering at the counter or through an app, the iron plates are filled up — with the chain’s signature pepper rice, Hamburg sizzling curry, dry-aged steak, or pasta, to name a couple of choices — and brought to the table, where customers could decide the final temperature of their meal.

Top Travel Tips for Travelling Within the Cities

When you’re in New York, remember the hot zones for foot traffic so you can keep away from them.

Taxis are normally very expensive in New York and if you’re in a hurry, traffic will make it about the same speed (or slower) than the subway. Sometimes, walking is even quicker.

When in San Francisco wear comfy shoes. You would be doing plenty of walking on steep hills.

Locate the oyster happy hours – There are plenty of restaurants all over San Francisco that has an oyster happy hour at least once a week for around $1 per oyster. Ichi Sushi, Waterbar, and Waterfront Restaurant are great places to begin.

Spend Smart: There are some shocking ways to save money in Los Angeles. Dining on the best of food doesn’t have to break the bank as several amazing restaurants provide lunchtime specials on their most famous dishes. How about tours that cost nothing at all? Tourists could get complimentary tickets to places like television tapings, museums, and cultural events.

Know what to look forward to in Hollywood and Beverly Hills: In Hollywood, you’ll come across museums consisting of souvenirs from Hollywood’s past, the Walk of Fame, and the renowned footprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

In Las Vegas distances are further than they seem, The Strip is four miles long, and because the buildings are so close together, they look closer than they really are – a two-building stroll from, say, Bally’s to Planet Hollywood is achievable, but any more than that, and you’ll ruin your walking shoes.

Plan your Attack – As with any new travel destination, you’ll get the most out of your Las Vegas holiday when you acquaint yourself with your surroundings first. After your check-in, take a stroll around your hotel and casino and remember where the vending machines, restaurants, restrooms, and seating areas are.

Coronavirus Pandemic

Whole of UK was under lockdown. Matt and I worked from home. After two week working from home Matt was let go of his contract work. I continued to work at home. During the lockdown we were allowed an hour of exercise a day. Matt and I would explore and walk around our neighbourhood. There were a few small parks in our area that we went to. We also walked to China town a few times to get Chinese take away and bubble tea. We walked Hyde Park, St Jame’s Park, Regent’s Park, Richmond Park and Primrose Hill Park.

As May approached we came to accept that our summer holiday has to be cancelled. Luckily, we have not booked our flights for a summer holiday yet. However, the trips that we booked from March were all cancelled. The trips included Malta, Stockholm, Ibiza and Morocco. We were quite devastated by this we planned this trip two years before we moved to London. We wanted to travel around Europe and Asia for around 2 months before heading back home. By the time we were back it would be spring. The reality was that we were heading home when our visa ended. We weren’t be able to do things in London either. We had to cancel dinner restaurant reservations to a number of popular restaurants. We had to cancel shows such as the opera, La Traviatra and Les Miserable, musical. Many people were in the same situation as us.

Philadelphia loves its pop-up beer gardens — and al fresco drinking season has finally arrived. Here’s a neighborhood rundown of everything you need to know about the city’s full lineup of beer gardens for 2019, from where you can go sip a cold one outside now to details on beer gardens opening in the coming weeks.

Beer Gardens in Center City, Midtown Village, and Spring Arts

PHS Pop-Up Garden South Street | Facebook

PHS Pop Up Garden at 15th and South Open now Back for a sixth year, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has teamed up with the crew behind Royal Tavern, Khyber Pass Pub, Cantina Los Caballitos, and Triangle Tavern for bites and sips like Frito pie, Buffalo ranch popcorn, and strawberry-spiked frosé at their spot near 15th and South (check out the full menu here). Stay tuned for their schedule of botanical-themed events like plant swaps and flower crown workshops through summer. 1438 South Street

Dates for May and June are in the works but not set yet — follow the Free Library’s social media to find out when Brews and Views will return. 1901 Vine Street

Drury Beer Garden Open now The comfortable beer garden behind Opa is really year-round, but summer is obviously the best time to enjoy a sip and some spanakopita from the Greek restaurant’s kitchen. It’s open at 4 p.m. daily until seasonal hours kick in on Monday, April 29th; then, you can hit up Drury starting at 4 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Memphis Taproom Open now Once the outdoor space was designated only for canned brews and overloaded hot dogs served from its resident food truck. But these days, the gastropub’s full menu is available outdoors, too — there’s even glassware and real cutlery, real fancy-like. They open the outdoor patio space whenever it’s good weather, so check the forecast before you make your al fresco drinking plans. 2331 East Cumberland Street

Piazza Pod Park Opens in early May NoLibs’ big new open-air development will include giant art installations, a farmers’ market, and, of course, lots of food vendors and outdoor dining space. Even better, they’ve got that climate-controlled “dining pod” for when summer storms hit or the heat is too much to bear. Germantown Avenue at North Second Street

Tired Hands Biergarten Open now When Tired Hands first opened its beer garden at 2213 Frankford Avenue last fall, it was harvest-themed. Now that it’s back for the season (it opened on 4/20, of course) the theme is “Beautiful Spring Beauty.” Hit them up from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and noon until 10 p.m. on weekends for drafts and cans from their various locations along with their signature 333 kombucha and house blend Awake Minds cold brew coffee. 2213 Frankford Avenue

Evil Genius Beer Garden Open now The mad brewers at Evil Genius just debuted their adjoining beer garden for the season and rolled out their Sixers-inspired beer Trust the Process at the same time. New this year: more space, more seating — from barstools and high-top tables to benches and rocking chairs — and revamped decor. 1727 North Front Street

缘分 (yuán fèn): "fateful coincidence," is a concept in Chinese and Vietnamese societies describing good and bad chances and potential relationships.

--

Three years have passed. Three years since we were sitting down in that Chinese restaurant in Richmond Hill where we last hung out. He said many things that night, but one thing I think of again today. I came across the word 缘分, and I immediately thought of him. He used that word to describe us, our situation... he tried to explain it in English, but used only the words “fate” and “destiny”. But 19-year-old me rolled her eyes at this, sure that the guy in front of her was just talking sweet nothings.

But today I ran into this word. I finally understand what he meant. And he was right, it was 缘分.

The way we were always running into each other was too much to be just a simple coincidence. We were there at the right place and the right time. We both came into each other’s lives at a time when we really needed something to stir up our souls and stimulate our minds. And we fit each other’s minds like a silk glove... and it was short and sweet and deep and beautiful. 

Three years later I finally see him call it for what it was: an “unexpected romance”. Our souls are connected in an inexplicable way, and they will probably remain that way forever. A platonic romance, a relationship that never was and never will be.

And I know that no matter what, I’ll keep coming back to him throughout my life, because our 缘分 will always make sure we keep finding each other in the small moments of our dull daily lives, ready to stir up our souls a little bit one more time.

Something Different...

Growing up Chinese-Canadian, I had some sweet and sour pork in my day. But I wanted something different. So I went to Gourmet Vegetarian Restaurant in Richmond Hill, Ontario to experience a vegetarian take on sweet and sour pork.

Gourmet Vegetarian Restaurant 280 West Beaver Creek Rd, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3Z1

This restaurant specializes in vegetarian Chinese food. This is where I found this “Sweet and Sour Pork”. Although, on the menu it’s labelled “ Veggie Meatball with Sweet and Sour Sauce”

Doesn’t it look just like sweet and sour pork? In it’s name this savoury dish is sweet and mildly sour from vinegar. Giving you the aroma of the typical greasy Chinese food without feeling fatigue after because it’s 100% veggie based!

Visually looking at it you can see the chef added pineapple chunks, sweet green and red peppers to contrast with all the redness in the dish.  

Grabbing a piece with my chopsticks it’s firm to touch. But as you bite in to it, you can hear this soft crunch from being previously fried before it was coated with the sauce. 

That first bite is not what you would expect. It literally bounces back at you as you chew. Like a sponge reforming its shape. 

I would most definitely eat this again! I might even prefer this over the original dish with pork. Moreover, the feeling of fullness after eating, but not from the greasiness that animal fats give. I literally just put one in my mouth, and I couldn’t stop experiencing the textures that it gives. I was munching on it like was a bag of chips. 

With this experience, I would like to explore more of how different textures of food brings to the palate of the mouth with my cooking. Food is not just about the taste, but how it appeals to all of our senses.
