lol. I’m at the IKEA in Renton. They have meatball sundae. I ordered one. Not bad. Three meatballs over a scoop of mashed potatoes, gravy, and lingonberry sauce. Not sure if you can get them in an IKEA in Canada.

They had the usual hot dogs and cinnamon buns, but they also had mini sausages, meatballs, chicken wings, chicken legs, etc.
Even had mini donuts, popcorn and matcha ice cream.

The one in Taipei has tea eggs and beef bakes. You can also get your own soft serve ice cream by dropping some coins in, lol.
Haven't been to the new Costco in SZ since there's none in HK, but the Costco in Taiwan is also killer for premade meals. I remember there being tons of sashimi/sushi, fried chicken, ramen kits, etc.
The food court also had beef bakes, fried chicken and clam chowder, lol.

Went to Long's and Hao Chi Lai to do a XLB head to head. 
This is Long's 
This is Hao Chi Lai
Clearly the Hao Chi Lai XLBs look better visually. The wrapper is thin but not too thin and the pork soup inside is way more flavorful. They also gave the proper vinegar, look at the color difference. one is dark like molasses, the other one is diluted and dull.  
For authenticity, Hao Chi Lai wins it for sure. For that guangdong infused flavor, Long's is okay.

XLB DRAMA CONTINUES !!!!!!!! https://www.richmond-news.com/local-...-court-7858063
Long's owner used to work at Hao Chi Lai
As for longs, the owner is Shanghainese yes. But no one else on her staff is. She does have this fancy beep machine that'll buzz you when your food is ready vs the other lady who has to run out to yell at you.

can you stack washers or does it need to be two solid ones?
can you find a piece of tube or pipe with the same ID and OD and cut it to 1/4"?

I suppose I can try that but this is gonna be very difficult, or rather, accessibility to the tools to do it will be tough. I ended up picking up a metal washer at Home Depot, but it's metal and it's not perfect, so consider it a make-shift solution for now.
Below is the application. It's a version 1 of a tow hook and where the hook pivots, it should pivot on the nylon washer to avoid metal-to-metal friction and reaction to environmental temperatures. Because this tow hook is discontinued by the manufacturer, they also don't carry the washer/spacer. Without the spacer, the hook is loose and will pivot with motion, hitting your bumper. 
I found the right washer on McMaster-Carr's catalogue but they won't sell me two washers.  I need a business or institutional account and minimum quantity is 100.

Yeah right. You know how popular Long's is?
She doesn't have to steal shit lmao. HCL is a small fish fighting someone who's had over 20 years of experience and customer base in Vancouver. HCL has only been open for not even a fraction of the time.
This is like if VinFast claimed that Tesla stole their shit. LMAO why would they need to.

I dont know anything about longs but I thought it was a noodle place. Not a shanghainese bao place. I just heard they had a fire and closed down.
Then the owner went to work for this hao chi Lai start a business in the same complex out of spite.
Did longs serve XLBs before ?

I’ve had a few times where old ladies give me like either 2x the portion or like better quality stuff just because I’m a giant panda bear looking motherfucker.
There used to be this frozen yogurt place in Oakridge and that lady always gave me 3 frozen yogurt blocks when everyone else got 2 (on a large). Pissed my wife off cuz hers is like way smaller than mine.
Same thing with Costco ice cream. I go ask for one and come back with this sized ice cream 
Stop trying to make me fatter !!!!! Why you old ladies keep feeding me

Ironically, Long's full business name was Long's Noodle House and they did serve XLB but it was never the highlight of their menu. It was one of those "IFKYK" sorta dishes but all these uneducated peasant-level Guandongers made a big deal out of it.

I've been to Long's and I didn't think their XLB were all that. Just like you guys said it's canto style and it was all wrong. Their drunken chicken was good though.

Went to the plaza for some Hao Chi Lai XLBs and didn't realize how busy that food court is. Pretty happy with how the XLBs and wontons tasted. Will grab a bag of frozen dumplings next time I'm there.
Anyone here try the the Hainaese Chicken in the same food court? Online reviews say it's the best place in Richmond for that which seems like pretty high praise.

Given the amount of traffic and business we have driven to Long and Hao Chi Lai, I think both establishments should start giving us an RS discount of some sort.
As an aside, apparently the rice box place next to the stairs at that food court is pretty good. The cart noodle place beside Long's is apparently also very HK authentic in terms of taste.

I've only been to Jimmy's Tea House once previously, but now I'll try something from each vendor there. Everything seems pretty solid given the amount of foot traffic there.
That parking lot is a hot mess though.
