Happy New Year to everyone on Steepster!! Let’s hope that 2014 is a wonderful, tea filled year for all!!
As I say this, my first NY resolution is to not buy so much tea LOL, I somehow have 128 in my cupboard and I like staying around 100 for space, so I’ll have to get drinking!
I should have logged my one tea NY beverage I had last night, it was quite good, we went to Mongolie Grill, a restaurant I had never been to due to peanuts being present in the buffet lol, but I informed them of my allergy and it was all good! I had a great drink there called Ginger Tea – it was Higgins & Burke bagged green tea (observed the teabag of course I did haha), cognac, mint leaves, simple syrup and ginger, I think those ginger crystals, as at the end it was super gingery. Yummy! And it was hot! Very nice on the -22C night lol.
So that was my last tea bevvy of 2013, and this lovely EGC is the first one I’m having in 2014! I woke up feeling a bit less than stellar lol, and it still looks cold out, so I broke out this old classic. Creamy goodness, going down easy and waking me up a bit. Funny, for some reason today feels like a new year to me, you know that fresh new spring day feeling? Even though it’s Jan. and cold as heck here, I still have that feeling for some reason. Here’s to the new year, and great things to come in it! Oh and see previous notes on this tea lol.

I hope you had a good time at Mongolie Grill! I haven’t been there in ages.
We’re on the same page because I just made some EGC as my first tea of the year too. :)
Yeah it was really nice! They had a good nye special too, complete with champagne :) I definitely want to go back and make a bigger stir fry though haha mine was small last night. Hooray for EGC! Can’t ever go wrong with one!
Wow, I didn’t think they would even offer champagne there! That place can get kind of expensive though, especially for vegetarians. It’s kind of weird how 100g of shrimp costs the same as 100g of carrots, or at least that’s how it was when I went. I’m glad they were able to accommodate your allergies!
Yeah usually they do the pricing by weight of the bowl it looks like, last night it was a flat rate of $60 for the special, which included 2 soups, an appetizer to share, 2 glasses of bubbly, 2 stirfrys any weight and a dessert to share. Was very impressed! I can imagine it would add up for just veggies for sure on regular days though. And yes, I still was also a bit nervous since the peanut sauce is by all the others in the buffet, but I’ll take my chances lol :) very tasty!
