hmm.... PNE is on hastings x rupert right?
there's a mall diagonally across PNE's CORNER entrance... inside that mall, there's like a chinese and western restaurant. also in the same complex, there's an italian deli/bakery ga. (btw, that italian deli store's proscuitto from italy [not the local one wor...we bought the imported one] is SO DELICIOUS.... pair it with thin slices of cantelope...omg~ so yummy).

O my gosh. Thinking of making pasta for dinner tonite, im so gonna go there after work and check the proscuitto out for appetizerrrrrrrr.
I go along Renfrew … I don’t see a mall worrrr?!?!?! The only mall I see is the East 1st and Renfrew mall.

is it on hasting or renfrew?

dkam22

sorry sorry my bad
the cross street is not rupert... is renfrew. i got confused cus both starts with "r" . you are right.
the complex is hastings x renfrew.

if you look on the map... at the intersection hastings x renfrew... the complex is is the south west corner of that intersection. which means... the complex ON hastings, BETWEEN renfrew & kaslo street.

thanks ar. so i dropped by there today. bought the proscuitto from the italian bakery but i havent tried it yet

for the meat... holy it's already mouth watering by looking at the beef in the fridge.. but the steak it's so expensive! i got the beef tongue lor...
just cook with salt and pepper! (the girl taught me).. it's so fresh and yummy

dkam22:
get a cantelope before you do the proscuitto... just get one!!!! more authenic 風味to it ga....

the beef tongue is SO GOOD. omg. salt & pepper, grilled till 80% cooked is the BEST.

steak... just get it too!!! (hahaha bad influence) i bought 3 slices of that steak for $60 for hotpot....omg... the flavor of the fat is so 甘香.

if you buy a piece cut off from the steak.... i would say about an inch thick... that's approx 1 lbs (yes, there goes $200). what me & my dad did was.... take it home. cut it into 1" x 1" cubes, & grill it on a portable electrical teppan (we got it from Sears...the type where there's a lower compartment under the rack to catch the melted fat). make sure you just "辣" each side of the cube with out burning it (as in crusting it)... & take a bite. i guarantee you the juice will burst out in your mouth.   the reason why we bought a slice of that sucker 1 inch thick is because, if you buy it too thin, then it's not good for teppanyaki...you mind as well buy the sliced ones for hotpot suen la~

one thing you also need to try: the 黑X豬 （sorry, dunno how to type the word in chinese tim). man...buy a few slices for hotpot... super yummy. of course, the taste is different from regular pork la. it looks really fatty, but when you taste it, it goes in so smoothly that you don't even know it's fat.

but since everything is so fatty.... say if you're buying stuff for hotpot~ probably buy 2/3 of the amount that you usually buy for regular meats, cus even if it doesnt taste fat, it's really filling.
