Before heading to the town of Stoughton to try to get breakfast from Ore A Love Story. Unfortunately, it did not seem to be open when I arrived, so I resorted to getting a Boston Creme Donut from Honey Dew Donuts next door.

Thankfully, the restaurant was now open when I left the place, so I was able to go ahead with my original plan to use my deal here, albeit a little fuller after the donut.

Here, I got the Carmen (anchovies, plantains)

and the Petion Ville (salted cod fish, plantains) omelettes,

as well as the Portuguese Sweet Bread French Toast.

The toast had a little bit too much cinnamon for my liking, while the omelets were pretty dry and bland as well. Oh well.

With that, I headed for home to pick my friend up, passing by the Faith Tabernacle Church in Worcester,

but as she was still at work, I decided to head to Clinton instead to check out the Clinton Historical Society, which was open this time of day. Pretty nice museum to say the least.

From here, I went to pick up my friend, and we went to Quabbin Park in Ware, where the views of the fall foliage were beautiful and serene, although the weather was really cold.

When we were finally done exploring the place, we decided to head to Millbury for dinner at Feng Asian Bistro.

We had to wait a little while before getting a seat, but it was worth the wait I guess. We got the Seaweed Salad (pickled vegetables), the Bamboo Steamed Edamame (Hawaiian black sea salt),

the Popeye Roll (peppered tuna, spicy crab, avocado and kaiware with sesame soy paper, topped with eel and salmon, served with spicy mayo, wasabi mayo and eel BBQ sauce),

the Unagi Sashimi, the Spicy King Crab Roll,

the Spring Garden Roll (salmon, kani, jalapeno, avocado and seaweed salad, topped with eel and crispy kani, served with spicy mayo, tai mayo, momiji and eel BBQ sauce)

and the Lobster Rock and Roll (lobster tempura, mango, maine lettuce, topped with baked spicy scallops, spicy king crab, white enoki mushrooms and parmesan cheese, served with spicy mayo, taimayo and eel BBQ sauce).

All the food was pretty good, the highlights being the spicy mayo wasabi mayo BBQ sauce combo, which was really tasty with everything, and the crispy kani strips.

We also got the Twenty Layer Crepe Torte (Delicate Crepes Layered with Chantilly Cream and Macerated Berries),

a delight as always.

After dinner, we walked around the Blackstone Valley Shoppes for a little bit to window shop, then headed to Inhouse Coffee in Worcester to play some board games, getting the Green Tea Steamer and the Extreme Toffee Steamer. As I had had a mint earlier, the toffee was a little bitter at first, but it got better after a while.

Unfortunately, the night had to end with the cafe closing.

Looking forward to spending more time with her next weekend.
