After seeing the article on Bubble Tea x Dim Sum crossover @ Destiny Tea House (Silver Star Blvd), we decided to go try it the next day. The food in the glossy magazine photos looked so good, but in reality, it didn't meet expecations. It was my first time at this location since renovation; the design is similar to the one in Richmond...
Appetizer: MAFTOUL - "moroccan cigars" with beef, cashews, raisins and aioli. Pretty interesting.. like a moroccan version of spring rolls (but couldnt taste cashews & raisins) Entree: Sesame Crusted Salmon. The salmon wasn't served hot. It was dry and overcooked with no flavour. The sesame crust was interesting but it didn't go well with the mango coulis. The carrot & sweet potato mash...
7/12 Didn't get to go to Hot House Cafe as planned :( Almost every restaurant was closed on Sunday. Finally ended up at Urban, somewhere along King St (?) They're not part of summerlicious, but they had their own 3 course meal special for $20. *Bread with Hummus* Appetizer: Tomato & Pesto Tart. Entree: Chicken Paella. Served nice and hot, but a bit...
7/11 finally tried smelly tofu. long line up as always. so this is how they make it...tofu stored in grey liquid in big containers, then deep fried. It was really good! Crispy on the outside, hot on the inside with sweet-ish sauce. $3 for 5 pieces I think. Octopus Balls (from Thee Asian Kitchen??) Waited sooooo long for this and it wasn't even...
Pink Grapefruit Mocktail: Sweet & Refreshing~ ($4) Appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Scallops (Soy Reduction) Entree: Salmon in Curry Sauce with Basmati Pilaf Rice <3 Entree: Tandoori Chicken (Tomato Almond Sauce, Basmati Pilaf Rice) The sauce was very flavorful, similar to butter chickenDessert: Orange Mango Cheese Cake - So good!! The cheesecake was soft, light, flavorful, and I loved the chocolate crust! Large portion! Dessert:...
Had a hard time deciding between this and the chocolat hazelnuts. Ended up getting this white chocolate nougat. love the box. Berthillion ice cream - supposedly the best ice cream in Paris/France? 2 scoops for 6,80 euros at Le Bosquet (!!) Moka (very rich) and vanilla (super sweet). Love the plating!! Macarons (coffee, chocolate, strawberry), Peach Tart, Pain du Chocolat from the local...
Just returned from Paris yesterday. Next few posts will be dedicated to some of the food highlights of my trip. Creperie @ Rue Cler. Jambon et fromage. 4 euros. yum yum yum. so much cheese. so gooey.Another crepe place. This time a sweet crepe - Chocolat et banane. 3,50 euros. nice and warm~ I like the other crepe place better though because this...
Cuisine: Vietnamese (/Thai)Interior: modern, smallPrice: $$Yesterday we went to Green Bamboo for lunch. Don't judge a restaurant by its sign! Small little restaurant beside a spa and a fish store, with a name plate that is not very eye-catching. This led me to expect a dirty, plain old restaurant, somewhat like Golden Mango. But when we went inside, I was pleasantly surprised by...
Green Tea Yogurt-Ice Cream w frozen mangoes, strawberries, blueberries (Medium) cost me almost $6! That's double the price of Yogen Fruz, and it wasn't that outstanding in taste. But the presentation is nice, and the cafe is nice so I guess the extra cost is for the environment. Waffle with ice cream and fruits. I didn't try this but it looks very nice,...
