Wanchai Ferry Beef and Broccoli Review

by Nicci on 08/23/2010

Chinese Food has been on my mind all day today.

The kind people of MyBlogSpark sent me a sample of the New Wanchai Ferry Beef & Broccoli Meal for Two.

This meal was exactly what we needed tonight; I was tired from work and wanted something delicious and quick to prepare.

Simply heat rice in the microwave, heat vegetables and sauce, in the skillet over the stove. Place your skillet contents over the rice and serve.

Pros:

  • Took 14 minutes as the package stated

  • Chris and I both LOVED the sauce…sweet and tangy

  • Beef cuts were surprisingly good (I’m not big on frozen beef cuts)

  • Great amount of vegetables (We love our broccoli)

  • No MSG

Cons:

  • We are not big on eating white rice

  • Not enough rice for two people – Chris can EAT!

Overall, the Wanchai Ferry ”Beef & Broccoli” was a delicious alternative to Chinese take-out!

If your interested in trying this meal you can get a $1.50 off coupon here!

You can also check out the Wanchai website for more summer meal tips. There are also two other new flavors, Kung Pao Chicken and Szechuan Style Chicken, also five other delicious varieties including Orange Chicken, Shrimp Lo Mein, Spicy Garlic Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken

Giveaway Time! Later this week I’ll have a gift for one lucky reader from Wanchai Ferry via MyBlogSpark!

(All information, frozen sample, prize pack and giveaway have all been provided by Wanchai Ferry through MyBlogSpark.)

Be on the lookout ;)

I won’t lie, I was scared to taste it but Chris said it was okay.  He’s never had pumpkin, including  pumpkin pie.  Crazy, right??  I think I’ll work on it before sharing the recipe.

Followed by some yummy Pop Chips, Corinne sent me to sample. Thank you again.

I think I’m getting a tiny cold from camping in the rain, but I’m fighting it HARDCORE!

A Coworker and I went to Panera for lunch.  I tried their broccoli & cheese soup, which was amazing. I also had a piece of their Tomato Basil Panini w/ Mozarella. I will be ordering that panini next time. The life of a vegetarian is not hard or bad at all :)


In other news…

I was leaving my apartment complex, to run to the grocery store, when a car whizzed by me.  My complex is made up of 4 buildings and two exits.  I see this chick in my apt complex always speeding and I always say  ‘She is going to hit someone”; well… she did hit someone tonight.  She hit an older women riding her bike right in front of the exit. I passed by them and wanted to help but so many ppl were already out there helping.  It happened in a split second people, b/c I was driving around the corner in opposite way & came out the other exit and saw the lady on the ground. I pray that both ladies are okay.

  • Please slow down when your driving
  • Please wear helmets when riding your bikes, no matter what: She had no helmet on.

There are so many kids and ppl constantly walking to this gas station up the road daily. Though we are a small complex I think it’s time for a sign when exiting.

Currently watching Gossip Girl on DVR and sipping on more tea before bed.

Good Night :)
