We can always count on a cold snap like this every winter, but did it have to fall on the one 3 day weekend of the month? At least there wasn't snow to go along with it this time.
Mom came down to visit on friday and the 3 of us went to dinner. I had intended to go to the Ding Ho, but when we got there, Ding Ho was No Mo. A couple of contractors who were there said they had moved, but didn't know where.
We needed a Chinese food fix...I looked up another chinese place in the car, called Peacock West. the outside looked as good as it could for being located in a strip mall. The inside was the usual red booth and ornate brass lamp decor of any Chinese Restaurant. but the food was pretty good. No Ding Ho, but a fine substitute.
We had a great time with mom, it was a nice unexpected visit.
We had been planning a party for saturday, but the cold weather made us cancel that. I didn't leave the house unless i had to all weekend. I spent it relying on mom's tried and true recipe to beat the cold, Irish Cream and coffee. Ahhh.

Noooooooooo! That sucks re: Ding Ho!
And I thought all was lost, because we heard the same about Scary Korean, and never found it again.
But, thank Google, I found that Ding Ho is just moving to Phillipi Rd.
At least they're not gone, but a big part of the experience was getting great food from such a crummy run-down looking restaurant.
Exactly. I can get Chinese food in 1000 different places... we went to that one for the atmosphere. And the bread and butter.
Bread and butter and a Chinese joint? Sounds like my kind of place!
Cate: It was explained that in the 50s (when the place opened) they served 80% American, 20% Chinese food. As times changed, the menu flipped to 80% Chinese, 20% American (you can still order hot dogs), thus you still get bread and butter.
Hopefully, they'll still serve the basket of bread and butter, even if the 50s decor is no more.
But the Chinese joints are the best part.
