We finally know the common English name for 蝦蛄 (also known as 攋尿蝦 or 螳螂蝦 or 富貴蝦 or 琵琶蝦)...it's Mantis Shrimp. Buddha Boy and I had these in HK but we never knew the English name for it...hehehe...yups...we're slow in updating ourselves...LOL!!!
Anyhow, originally, we wanted to visit the States on their crazy Black Friday long weekend...but we just had too much things to do around the house...so we pushed it to just the past weekend. We brought Buddha Dog along in his "royal carriage"...hahaha! I know...some of you must be shaking your heads and wondering "WTF?!?!?! A stroller for the dog?" Well, yes, period.
At Tulalip outlet, there's really nothing much to eat...the food court sucked!!! So as we're doing our rounds, we picked up a hot dog each...well...just for Buddha Boy and I since Buddha Dog already had his share of deli turkey meat from Target.
I had the Chicken Dog while Buddha Boy had the Moose Dawg...the wieners were juicy and the buns were ok...nothing special with both...just simple street hot dogs that tied us over for the time being.
Awww super cute doggy <333
ReplyDeleteI love 瀨尿蝦 but I don't seem to see them often here...
Cute dog! I'm surprised that it was easy to bring a pet dog to the US. I thought you need to bring a lot of documentations such as records of rabies shots etc.
ReplyDeleteCrispy,
ReplyDeleteBuddha Dog has all his shots and we have paperwork, it's really quite simple, as long as he has his shots, is licensed and has documentation from the vet of the shots (I think it's a 3 month form from the vet), then that's pretty much all he needs.
I had Buddha Dog pulling his 'carriage' once, Buddha Girl really wasn't happy about that.
@Elaine:
ReplyDeleteWe had it once in HK...but was deep-fried and we didn't find it anything special...later our friends told us we should tried it steamed...hahaha...we did not know...we left the ordering to MomJ!!! Next time we go we have to try it more!!!
@Crispy:
Hahaha...remember at TG we mentioned that Buddha Dog is the only member in the family that's "not fat"?!?!?! Now you know!!! LOL!!!
@Buddha Boy:
Yes...I was not happy about it...that's animal torture!!! Bad bad!!!
oh yum! 瀨尿蝦! i had those growing up in hong kong!
ReplyDeletebuddha dog must be a shih tzu! looks exactly like mine and sleep like it too! and yes buddha boy, it is animal torture to make it pull its own cart full of shopping bags!
Hello Queenie!!! Yes Buddha Dog is a Shih-Tzu!!! He is a pure bred but unfortunately we don't have any documentation because we adopted him...so Buddha Boy always call him "mutt"...grrr!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes yours rule the house like he/she's the royalty??? LOL!!! These dogs have attitudes!!! LOL!!!
I think there'd be a market to farm mantis prawns and Thai tiger prawns locally, unfortunately, we only have frozen.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the frozen mantis prawns but haven't tried them.
Queenie, buddha dog has to pull his weight around here if he wants to eat :)
Oh, c'mon, BG, just call it the way Cantonese people calling it: "Pissing shrimp"! I think it falls in the same category as crawfish: simply because it is "delicate" or not consume vastly, you won't easily find it. What a shame...
ReplyDeletemine definitely rules the house and is spoiled rotten. he sleeps on our bed, couch, wherever he likes. my mom even knitted him clothes because it was so cold earlier on
ReplyDeletehaha i think i might have to report buddha boy to spca! ;p shih tzu's are not meant for heavy labour! they get to eat whatever they beg for...at least nothing too salty, with chooclate, onions and grape...
Kim!!! "Pissing Shrimps" sound nasty!!! Ewwww...I will stick to the more settle one...mantis shrimps...heheheheheh!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Queenie!!! Shi-tzu gets anything...in fact...that goes to any dogs out there...hahahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteMy previous shi-tzu (who passed away at the age 19) ate ALMOST anything...the only thing he did not like was banana...other than that...he, literally, ate everything...chive dumpling, ice cream, watermelon, chocolates...hahaha...even though some of these stuff should have been banned...hahahaha!
The baby now, Buddha Dog...is quite picky...he loves lamb (bones and meat), pork and beef bones (but not pork meat), chicken, watermelon, pineapples, Chilliwack sweet corns (no other types)...hahahaha...yups...he IS spoiled...blame Buddha Boy's dad and mom...spoiled him! LOL!
