Fathers Day Fiasco - and Los Margaritas

So we wanted to do waterfront dining in New Hope but ended up at Los Margaritas in Southampton. I had a mango margarita.....made it all worthwhile....

T'OKAI! North East Philadelphia

So we went out to T'okai the other night....now we went there because we've ordered their food at lunch and it was phenomenal.
I had their lunch bento box and the value was really very good and the presentation was nice.

Unfortunately their hibachi just doesn't stand up to Benihana. Also Benihana have specials etc.
I don't understand why hibachi places think it's necessary to drown the food (even seafood) in Teriyaki sauce? Hibachi is a method of cooking/not a sauce.....just a thought for the day...

Chinese - Mandarin Garden

So I'm very spontaneous and was thinking we were going to grab a burger, but somehow ended up with chinese food.

I am trying the Food lovers fat loss plan so tried to "tweak" as they say my usual food choice.
My usual food choice would have sweet and sour chicken combo plate with the fried rice, egg roll, soup. So my pick instead with the encouragement of the waiter was vegetables and tofu.
I still got to have a couple pieces of the sweet and sour chicken and had my veg/tofu dish.

I was so surprised...it was very good....I am not a fan of white sauces and it wasn't in a white sauce...It was vibrant green snow peas, crispy green pepper, white cabbage, and crispy fried tofu in a spicy brown sauce.

There is just something about that homeade chinese mustard contrasted against the duck sauce.
