lil mini vlog on lunch with my parents 🥹 my dad requested char siu over rice (叉燒飯) and crispy pork over rice (火肉飯) from ✨happy corner 28✨, which is a staple in flushing for cantonese roasted meats 🍖

each rice box is around $9 and comes with a free bottled water 🤭 AND if you go for lunch, i believe they have 20% off each box!

super quick service too, i waited only like 3 minutes after paying before everything was packaged and ready to go 🏃‍♀️💨
