We discovered another favorite Chinese BBQ dish at one of our lunch time places in Austin, Din Ho Chinese BBQ off 183. Number 27 off the menu is a pair of delightful BBQ meats, roasted duck breast and BBQ pork. The duck had a musky spice and caramel notes from the skin, very tender and not overly fowlish. The pork, with the red lining and lean meat was also very tender. I was tempted to order another half pound of it to go (only $7.50).
We also ordered the Orange Beef. The beef had more fat than the other two meats combined. The sticky sweet and spicy orange sauce never lets us down, I love it and can’t seem to recreate it at home so this was a good fix for that craving. My lunchmate, Hubby, had a total brain fart and started eating one of the hot chilies off the beef thinking it was a carrot. Poor thing. Must have been preoccupied by his lovely wife when it happened.
My fortune cookie sounded like a message from my late Granny K.
Do not rely on others to make you happy. You must do it yourself.
Thanks Grandma, and I have taken the reins of happiness by starting my own business. It’s small and waiting for new customers, but it’s mine and that is my token happy thought every day.
