My Last Supper

Food

Do you say “dinner” or “supper”? I say “dinner” now but I realize that I use to say “supper” when I lived in Saskatchewan and so does everyone from there.

I grabbed this from Felisa’s blog (she has the best entries to steal :P ) because I think this is a great idea and ZOMG I LOVE FOOD.

Imagine that the world is about to come to an end tomorrow and you’ve said good bye to all your loved ones. As you sit on your bed about to sleep for the last time, a genie comes out of nowhere and tells you that he will prepare a feast for you. List everything you want to eat and he will give it to you. Your stomach will temporarily become bottomless and it will be like a buffet — you can eat as much as you want. There will be no guilt for anything. Time will stand still until you’re done eating. What will you want to have?

  1. Crab & Shrimp Topped Portobello Mushroom from The Boathouse Restaurant. It’s mine and Boyfriend’s favorite appetizer. EVER.
  2. Black bean chicken feet. When you go for dim sum, order some “fong-chao.” It’s feet but you won’t regret it. I LOVE FEET. You can call a chicken feet fetish if you’d like (actually don’t, that just sounds wrong). Twentyfourcarat.net is an unoffical endorser of black bean chicken feet.
  3. Peking duck wrap Peking duck wrap. This is one of my favorite dishes from Chinese restaurants. It’s basically a piece of a peking duck wrapped in the thin pancake with hoi-sin sauce and spring onions. So if your one of those people who think Chinese food consists of sweet and sour pork and kung-pao chicken… you guys are only eating our version of McDonalds which is pretty nasty in my opinion. Chinese people rarely eat “Chinese fast-food.” :P

    It’s like how I always thought Vietnamese people only ate pho and lemongrass chicken until I met boyfriend.

    [Picture from here.]

  4. Mom’s black bean spare ribs served with…
  5. Grandma’s My fried rice. My grandma taught me how to make it exactly like she does so I get to call it my own now. =P I also love grandma’s sticky rice.
  6. Steak Steak (it HAS to be medium rare or else it ruins your whole dinner) with a simple side of garlic mashed potatoes and veggies; mushrooms, zucchini and steamed brocolli. A nice and simple lobster tail would be nice too. [Picture from here.]
  7. Korean seafood pancakes from Jang Mo Jib. Is there another restaurant in Vancouver that makes it better? Let me know!
  8. Lemon meringue pie for dessert please.
  9. Orignally, I was going to add Red Lobster’s Cheese biscuits but I realize I need a drink too. It’d be a Chi-Chi because I love anything that tastes like pina-colda. A bottle of Gray Goose would be fine too because if the world was about to end, you might as well be having a little fun right?
  10. And RIGHT before the world ends, I want to be eating … DUNDUNDUN

    …POUTINE. Fresh, crunchy fries drizzled with LOTS of gravy and cheese curds— nothing fancy but it’s the ultimate comfort food… and it’s Canadian. Seriously, what’s Canadian anymore? Everything of ours have been sold to the US. “If I were a fry, my boyfriend would be gravy and I’d be cheating on him with the cheese curds.” I freaking love poutine… I think I have to say they are better than carne asada fries (sorry Californians!).

    Heaven
    Picture from here.

This list took me so long to write because you have no idea how hard it is to narrow it down to TEN food items. These are one of those entries where you have to cheat and do a “part 2″ later on.

What will be in your last supper? Remember guys, this is a very serious post because it is related to food AND the end of the world so think carefully. ;) And please remember to link Felisa.

    oh my gosh, i haven’t even been able to read this post until now bcus evertime i see all the food i just close the tab. all the food looks so good & makes me so hungry! but i just finished eating so i could finally read it without leaving to find something to eat ;)

    i don’t know what i would eat. without thinking too much about it though, i would say “Frying Jason” sushi from this sushi restaurant i live near. i foget what’s in it, but it’s so delicious & it’s baked.. so when you eat it’s so warm everything just melts in your mouth.

    i’ve never tried the poutine~ Canadian food look delicous <3

    Ah I’m jealous of you Canadians and your poutine. The only time I had it was at this cafe in the outskirts of LA called Canadian Cafe.

    I tried to get it last time I went to Vancouver, but the closest store with poutine was closed that day. NOOOOO.

  15. Mimi says:

    OMG I LOVE PEKING DUCK WRAP! Actually, I just like the duck. No wait, the duck skin to be specific. It’s like comfort food to me because it’s what my grandma fed me when I broke my arm at age 5. Oh and congee.

    I dunno what my list would be, but it’d definitely have the peking duck, congee, and my mom’s fried tofu. Argh, I’m too full from dinner to think about food. x_x

    REPLY

    Yeah the duck skin is the only good part about duck… and all that fat underneath it. =P

  24. Dayna says:

    My last supper would definitely have my mum’s Mei Cai Kou Rou (Preserve Vegetable with pork belly). I am totally in love with that dish. It taste heavenly served with steam white rice.

    Salted Duck Soup would go well with it too. I think I should do up a post like this as well. ;)

    REPLY

    “Preserve Vegetable with pork belly” – I’m sorry but that sounds so gross! But then if I tried it, I bet I’ll love it! I love eating that dish with some of the contents of a cow’s stomach (you know with the tendon and the tripe and everything). It’s soo good yet people get so disgusted when I order it.

    REPLY

  25. Scott says:

    Peking duck wraps are to die for. There is this really awesome restaurant in china town we always go to (in Yokohama) that serves them and they are down right fantastic! Extremely pricey though.

    That’s actually the first time I have ever heard of poutine. It looks insanely good though — I’d love to try it.

    REPLY

    Yep it sucks that it’s kinda pricey here too or else I’d be eating the duck wraps all day!

    Poutines are pretty easy to make since you seem to cook a lot except your wife may not be too happy since it’s SO not healthy. It’s just fries topped with cheese and gravy. Some places add a lot more stuff on top but I just like to keep things simple. :P

    REPLY

    Nah, I think she would. We are both quite far from being health nuts — trust me. I might have to give it a shot one of these days. I kind of wonder what I’ll have to do for gravy here though.

    REPLY

    Well you can always make your own gravy if you have time… they don’t have those gravy packages there?!

    REPLY

    Not that I have ever seen — the Japanese don’t eat much gravy. I might be able to find some at an import shop though. I wonder how hard it would be to make it on your own? I might have to look into it. I’m craving some gravy now.

    eek, chicken feet! I know where those feet have been and it is not pretty – I guess they wash them quite well first. :)

    I say “dinner,” I think “supper” is more of a country-ish word to say.

    REPLY

    I know where those feet have been and it is not pretty

    LOL oh Sasha you’re hilarious! I guess if I raised chicken too I might not be eating their feet. You should try duck tongue then.. it’s another yummy delicacy. :P

  30. Tina Marie says:

    Poutine is better than Carne Asada Fries?! Are you serious? Well I guess I can’t say anything since I haven’t tried it yet but until then Carne Asada Fries/Chips will be numero uno on my list. Hehe [:

    REPLY

    Yes I’m seriously!! Probably because I think I’d choose gravy over the stuff that’s on carne asada fries (which is still DELISH though!). You definitely need to try a poutine. :P

    REPLY

  31. angela says:

    interesting post…you can’t go wrong with food…i would love to write what i would have but i don’t think i’ve had any food yet that would be worth eating for my last meal ;)

  32. Katrina says:

    Hehehe such a cute post!! i’ll just have what u have…. hehehe… I just finished watching Pink’s blogtv thingy and I just read this…. I am officially HUNGRY for supper!

    REPLY

  33. Kristan says:

    Ugh, this is hard to do, made worse by the fact that I just ate so I’m full and thinking about food hurts!

    1. Chinese scallion pancakes. Made just the way they do in the streets of Taiwan.

    2. Flan. Yummy flan, not nasty flan.

    3. Potato. I’m not sure what kind yet (baked, scalloped, grilled) but some kind of potato MUST be had.

    4. Chocolate. Again, not sure what kind. Probably moist cake form.

    That’s all I can do right now. Not a great combo of things, but all yummy!

    REPLY

    I think rice AND potatoes should be a staple in every meal. I loveee garlic mashed potatoes.

    Yum I haven’t had Chinese scallion pancakes in so long! I only eat them at home when my mom makes them though and I don’t think she’s made them in a while.

    REPLY

  34. LadyJane says:

    LOL. What a funny post. Peking duck (I love duck) is awesome, but I don’t really like the cabbage wrap dish that comes after because I’m sucha messy eater. Have you tried genuine Kobe beef from Japan? THAT will definitely be in my Top 5. And a piece of moist chocolate cake, topped with chocolate fudge w/ french vanilla ice cream and raspberry drizzle MMM OR fondue covered fruits. Alaska roll (salmon sashimi w/ avocado) from Sushi Town. I’m actually quite surprised you were able to narrow it down to 10! All this food talk is making me hungry!

    REPLY

    I love the cabbage wrap.. I don’t think I can ever let messiness keep me away from food (except for crabs which I’m too lazy to eat). I like eating the meat and stuff with rice though instead of the cabbage.

    Yeah I tried kobe beef before.. but to tell you the truth I don’t think I have rich enough tastes to reallyyy tell the difference between cuts of steaks (although the kobe one did taste a tad bit better). I’d choose comfort/homemade food over expensive food anyday. Hehehe. What about you?

    You know what you should try? The chocolate molten cake at Carmichael’s at the Hilton in Richmond… it’s sooo rich and I swear you’ll get a mild heart attack from eating it because it’s so sweet (but good). Not that I want you to have a heart attack though. :P

    I like the Burnaby Roll from Fish on Rice because it has cream cheese in it. It’s funny because they call it the “BC Roll” in Cali since it has salmon and cream cheese in it.

  36. Les says:

    Oh my Gawwwwwwwwwwwd you just made me so hungry haha. And.. I say dinner now, but when I lived in Manitoba I think I said supper, especially when I was younger.

    I miss poutine. And Ketchup Chips. And All Dressed chips, and… lots of things.

    REPLY

    What they don’t have ketchup chips in the states?!

  37. Angel says:

    Drooling..Yum! I just sealed a deal with my bestfriend to go on a food trip this weekend. The Peking Duck at the Spice Fusion will be first on my list.

    REPLY

  38. Thao says:

    Yum. That steak looks really good right now.

    I’ve never had poutine before. Then again, I’m California. Carne asada fries are only good up to a certain point. Poutine looks really good though, except I won’t know how to find them unless I go up to Canada.

    Haha…my Chinese friend used to think that Vietnamese people only ate pho, and so she was so surprised when she came over to my house…lol. “Um..no. We only eat pho like once a month.”

    REPLY

    I was surprised when I found out that my boyfriend’s family rarely ate pho at home too just because it takes too long to cook. He says that when they do want pho, they would rather just go out and buy it. Viet food is yummy though (although I still prefer Chinese food more). I love that pork roll! Mmmm.

    I’ve never had peking duck wraps, only with buns. But the wraps looks yummy, and hey, less carbs. =P Yup, I love food so much also that I’m going to copy Felisa’s post too.

  41. Rachel says:

    Ooooh food! I’m actually a REALLY fussy eater…so I doubt I could probably list 10 foods it’s probably all of my diet :P Chicken would definitely have to be there though. And cheese! :D

    REPLY

    I’m the LEAST fussy eater in the world.. I think I’d eat anything. =P I’m not a huge fan of chicken though because it’s usually too dry if you order it at Caucasian restaurants. I only like fried chicken (hell yuh!) and the various way Chinese people cook it.

    REPLY

  42. Sy says:

    I love the Peking duck wraps. Every time we eat out at this restaurant, we ALWAYS eat that. It’s so delicious. I had a tofu one and it still tasted fucking insanely yummciouss.

    I would want:

    1. An in & out burger (I’ve never had one sadly!)
    2. Slices of cheddar cheese and a baguette
    3. Pad thai. OMG PAD THAI <3
    4. Quail – cooked any way. LOL. Don’t ask.
    5. Paneer Mahkni – amazing Indian dish
    6. Anything Ethiopian
    7. My mom’s good ole Filipino-style spaghetti
    8. A cuban sanwich from Hamburgao
    9. A coldstone ice cream – cake batter, graham crackers, and caramel
    10. A big pot of fondue

    It was really hard thinking of food – so I just thought of things I’m craving for now.

    :) Oh, food. My first and only love.

    REPLY

    In N’ Out burger was on my mind too but it didn’t make to the the top 10. :S

    REPLY

  43. johno says:

    Definitely “Kamatama Udon” — hot udon (???) wih raw egg.

    REPLY

    Have you tried ramen with cheese? They serve it at this little ramen place near where I live and everyone says it’s so good. It’s such a weird combination though!

    REPLY

    Ra-men and cheese! Never tried it. Sounds very strange, but I’d certainly try it. My favourite ra-men is tonkotsu (pork flavour soup) or miso. Now I’m feeling hungry.

    REPLY

    Weird, a girl at my old work used to eat cup-o-noodles with bits of string cheese broken up inside it.

    REPLY

    Well I guess Asians eat anything so it kinda makes sense. ;)

    REPLY

  44. Felisa says:

    I can talk about food any given day. I didn’t have any room for chicken feet but if I made it a top 20 list, that would definitely have made it! My mom makes freaking awesome chicken feet which she slow cooks with anise and other spices. My mouth’s watering just thinking about it. And peking duck? It doesn’t even have to be in a wrap. That stuff’s pretty awesome.

    And yes, it’s a very serious topic… it being the end of the world and us having to narrow down what we’re going to eat to JUST 10 items. Haha
