Another food delievery service, mostly Asian groceries @ sayweee.com. Easy to shop and check out. I got $10 off from a friend’s link and no shipping with $35 in total. They have $2 tip to the drive as default but you can change. The delivery was schedule two days later, between 2pm to 9pm. It arrived at 4pm.
I’m trying this food delivery service. $23.93 for three meals, shipping included. The package is nice and solid, and the single flat ice pack on the bottom is neat. Because it’s winter, all things arrived in good condition.
1st time: ordered on 12.29.2020 and delivered on Jan 5.
The two small carrots look old, tired and are chipped at the root. I usually buy the giant yellow sticks, so kind of not used to the tiny one they provide. All three meal are ok, good but I probably won’t order from them again, except, I forgot to cancel. ⇓
This year, 2020, is dominated by covid-19 pandemic. Although I don’t know anyone who has it but few did get laid off as the economy worsened.
I don’t go to Flushing as often, maybe every other month. Three of my go-to eateries on Main Street, a restaurant, one makes chive pancakes and one meat buns are replaced.
Chaozhou (?) 潮州 became Xing Fu Tang 幸福堂 Happy House.
My first trip to Flushing since February this year. Less people and pretty subdued. The rainy weather may have contributed to the let down mood.
Nan Xiang Xiaolongbao has moved, a block south to 2nd floor at 39-16 Prince Street. They now serve with paper cups and plates. The buns are ok (6 for $7.95) but the turnip ham puff (4 for $4.55) is really good.
Modell’s has finally closed. I’m surprised that it stayed this long. Wrapped vinegar and extra cup for the spicy oil are nice touch. A progress I would say.
Streets are filled with outdoor sittings. (One of them took over the corner where the working girls used to stand …). The mall where supermarket – J Mart locates, uses palm temperature tester (?) at the doors.
It’s my second trip to the distributor’s warehouse to pick up some food. And of course I went to Trader Joe’s and left without waiting online – it’s at the Old Navy. The wine shop is, as usual, more welcoming because there is NO line to get in. The 19 Crimes series which is under $10, is really good! … however, the wet tissue is gone.
I was disappointed to see the long line at Trader Joe’s, so I went to Total Wine, instead. There are many jokes of what wine could do to your health. So, it’s appropriated.
No gloves but a wet wipe stand by the entrance. The store is not busy, not much different from a normal weekday noon.
The nineteen crimes refers to the criminals in Britain who didn’t want to die, so they were sentenced to live in Australia as a punishment, rather than facing death, since 1788 or so.
Quite a different story nowadays, the land for the outlaws becomes one of the most desirable countries on the planet.
