Just some small bites for this Saturday.
Chin's on Convoy opens (finally):
A few days back FOY Candice sent me a text (I'm good at receiving, but not very good at sending for some reason) letting me know that Chin's on Convoy had finally opened.
When we dropped by this morning, it was evident that this was a "soft opening". We could tell that Chin's was open by the little "open" sign blinking on the parking lot door. I'll be doing a post next week.
I just thought you'd like to know that the official grand opening is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, February 28th!

LV Sandwiches closes, to be replaced by Toan Ky Restaurant:
We thought LV Sandwiches made pretty good Banh Mi, but the shop was always empty. Recently, the Missus called me and told me they were gone. Driving through the parking lot, I noticed that they are being replaced by Toan Ky Restaurant.
Sad.......

The future of Hal Mu Ni:
We've been eating at Hal Mu Ni quite often recently. Often enough to be told that Hal Mu Ni will eventually be moving next door and taking the spot that was previously occupied by Kabul Market.
I'm guessing the place will look more like a restaurant, than a converted fast-food joint.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Grabbed a bite to eat at Chin's for lunch today. Pretty good! Good wok hay in the dried bean curd/pork strips dish. Looking forward to trying the breakfast items in a week or two.

I saw that Chin's was opened when I passed by on Sat. I was so excited! I stopped in and looked at the menu and asked if they will be offering the breakfast on weekends. I didn't eat there yet. I can't wait to see your post.

Hi Kirbie - Hopefully, I can get my act together and get it done this week!

I heard from one of the managers at Chins Miramar that the Chins Convoy is not going to be related to any of the other Chins? Something how 2 brothers opened the original Chins and now they're trying to open their own Chins? I don't know :) I guess this is how Foodie Rumors start! Can't wait to see your post as well. Curious to see if the menu is the same as the other Chins restaurants...

Hi Faye - Yes, I've heard about all of that.... Miramar is trying hard to distance themselves from this location.

Hi YY - You might want to wait until they start serving breakfast.
Hi Hannah - I didn't see that on the menu, but was told that they'd be starting the special Chinese breakfast menu in a couple of months.
