Wanchai Ferry Dinner!!!



We were lucky enough to receive this awesome Beef and Broccoli Wanchai Ferry Dinner and two black tea sets for free to evaluate from MyBlogSpark.. The information, sample, prize pack and giveaway have all been provided by Wanchai Ferry through MyBlogSpark.

We were lucky enough to receive it quite a few weeks ago, but by a complete miracle in the Buffalo area its been like "GORGEOUS and really hot!' So this weekend it was a wonderful and yet a lil cooler 60 something,,, (which IMO is the ideal weather).

So we cooked up this Beef and Broccoli for dinner.
Our primary concerns:
1) Will we be hungry afterward like typical Chinese,
2) Will it taste like Chinese or more like college cafeteria 'Chinese food'.
3) Will it burn because of my limited cooking abilities.

So first you dump all the veggies and beef into a stir fry pot. I don't have one of those (mental note for the registry huh), so we used a regular pot but I was vigilant about the 'non stickiness occurring'.


Then we put the rice in the microwave to cook while we added the sauce to the stir fry part. Mental note to MOMMIES: If you have a teen aged boy near you (or someone with an equally leveled sense of humor),, don't let them see you put the sauce it,, when you squeeze it out it looks kinda,,,, lumpy... (heheheheheh)


So that simmered till it gets delicious and flavorful, and then we sat down for our meal.



Okay now to evaluate:)

1) Hunger levels: Well we were both totally full for at least an hour, but the portion sizes are not what we're used to (I blame the delicious Buffalo cuisine).

2) Delicious. Tasted better than Chinese actually because it was fresh and not all congealed and full of MSG stuffs and things.

3) I thankfully did not burn ANYTHING which is also a miracle.

So overall its was a really delicious and SUPER easy meal to make, and we look forward to trying some of their other varieties in the future. Mostly I'm excited about Shrimp Lo Mein and Szechuan Chicken.:) yum yum
