a short adventure for salt and pepper chicken wings. the place,
capital in chinatown. according to yuna, only two places had these so-called wings, the other being new moon. she was only in town for a few days, so got together with her, laura, and ferris to grab dinner. we were famished.
first, a stop at sephora for an acne cream mask for laura. she wasn't feeling well and was breaking out. yuna helped herself to the makeup. calcium gummi bears as am amuse-bouche, if you will. tasty and sugary with full daily serving of calcium. purple flavored ones were best.
this was my first time eating these wings, and man were they good! we kept the orders coming ( 12-13 wings) because they were that delicious. yuna was fast, so I tried to keep up with her, but gave up around wing 9. ferris at wing 6 and laura at wing 3. yuna had 1.5 orders. she two tricks:
*breathe out the hot steam as you chew on the chicken.
*eat one side in one bite, flip it, eat the other side for bite two, and them pop out the middle using your finger.
this breeded both efficiency and speed. quite the talent. after devouring all these wings, she immediately chased with an antacid to avoid any heartburn. I have never seen anything like this. unfortunately, it wasn't completely dissolved so it fizzed in her mouth a bit! but she was able to eat two more, despite being full 10 wings ago. I have to say that I too am a victim to eating when full, just because it tastes so good going down. not to mention eating at the speed at which other people eat.
when in the city, mitchell's for dessert. so delicious, I had to have two scoops. the mango here is bomb.
I too was breaking out and laura shared the recently purchased acne cram mask product. I put it on to help with my terrible skin. this was my first time trying anything like this, and it actually felt good.dried on hard. thanks laura.
lastly, with yuna's nordstrom discount, I was able to get new shoes -- sperry top sider boat chukkas. can't have too many shoes. thanks yuna!
