Movie Review: The Hobbit Battle of the Five Armies

My Middle Earth journey is now complete. I'm still a little sad that I have to say goodbye to the series. I think I might have to marathon through Lord of the Rings to feel whole again. Like the previous movies, it adapts the final part of The Hobbit while adding in new material.

Yum Cha, Beheading Orcs, and the Freezing Cold

So far, this Wednesday and Thursday has been quite amusing and possibly the most active I've been during my break.  Needless to say, I was sick two weeks ago and that pretty zapped most of my energy then.  In addition to that, there was a lot of sitting around and eyes glued to an illuminated screen.

Wednesday was dim sum day.  I was looking forward to this day very much.  I went out with two friends, Lily and Lisa, to Chinatown for a lunch.  We ordered 11 or so items and our bill totaled up to roughly $26.  Our bill practically shrunk from the last time we ate together which is pretty cool.  The restaurant we went to was emptier than usual because it was an extremely cold day; 23 degrees Fahrenheit with windchill.  Our food came very quick after we ordered which was a good thing.  I was practically dying for restaurant style food because I hadn't eaten out for at least two months.  My two friends ordered a congee which they remarked that it wasn't piping hot like it should be.  Here's my review of the food.  All English names associated with the foods are my own loose translations or accepted translations.
