Friday Morning

Today we went to La Casita for some Mexican since I've been craving it for a whileee now. I haven't ate mexican for 10 years? maybe all my life. I think I've had a burrito once and I thought it was disgusting. Anyways, we shared these enchiladas and it tasted and looked like canneloni to me. I wish i got a taco instead, that was what I was craving. The place is kinda cute. I just remember before I knew this place, I walked past it about 10 million times looking for Chill Winston to the point where we got so frustrated we were gonna shoot each other if we passed this La Casita place one more time..


next was Al Porto, this place is really romantic and nice for lunch Or dinner. the Special they have is pretty good deal. I didn't feel like soup or salad so I just went for the Steamed Clams. They were pretty good. Then we stopped at Moonpennies hoping for dessert, but they only had cookies. So we went to Showcase and shared an apple pie. Our server was nonexistent it was so stupid. The apple pie was nice, but definitely not worth 8 dollars.

All in all, I spent 20 bucks on food today. But about 95 on a pair of tna pants. UGH

Azia+Kingston

So before Kanye concert, we decided to hit up Kingston Taphouse. I have Never seen this place before but it was on opentable and in my book so I thought wat the heck. Going inside, I was kinda uncomfortable because there were a lot of old creepy men looking at us and it looked a little sleazy.. but then the back was like the dining area so it was better I guess.. Although our waitress didn't come over for like 15 minutes and then when she does she goes "hey girls" and then stops. no how are you or can I get you anything. it was . so. awkward. we honestly all just stopped talking and stared at each other .. haha.. oi. my friend got a chicken chili thing and I got dry ribs (i used to eat dry ribs SOO much at red robins after a brutally long shift at panago [i didn't make pizzas, i was an agent you ordered pizza from me]) It was ok. I was indifferent to this dish. I doubt I'll be back to this place.

Tonight me and my parents went to Azia because we didn't go for dinner for my mother's birthday yet. It was good because we spoke cantonese and they understood. The place was really nice and they gave us a good area to sit. We started off with 3 appys: duck spring roll, roti canai, and tempura filo prawns. The spring roll was o-k. Roti canai was good, because I LOVE roti canai. but the prawns was Gross. the potato and the prawns just didn't go together and when I bit into it I got soo much water I am guessing. ugh. gross.

We had chicken and beef satays next.. they were ok, nothing to rave about. We also had a laksa. It was my first time trying it and it was too spicy for me.. my parents thought they should have used a different type of noodle instead because fun see is not authentic.. We also had a scallops sushi pizza. made with sushi rice on the bottom topped with scallops and ebi mayo. My father loved this, I didn't really..

We had the lemongrass chicken with tumeric rice. ugh sick. It was not authentic at all. We could have done without this dish. honestly.

The ending was the highlight. The desserts were super good. We ordered the Ice cream Roti and green tea creme brulee. I have no complaints about the roti one, because .. well I love roti hahaha. even the ice cream worked with it, and I usually don't eat ice cream with anything (not even apple pie). The green tea was nice for the creme brulee, but I think they put too much sugar on it. made it too bitter imo. I made creme brulee once, it was o-k, but I didn't have those blowtorch things so I used matches.. ya that didn't work. ahah

Latino Cuisine


So today me and my bestest went to Cobre for some latino food. I've never had it and I was excited because the place seemed kinda cute. The bartender took us to our table and he was really nice and cool, our waitress was o-k. We had the Lamb on flat bread and duck taqueria. The duck was good, although messy to eat. The lamb on flat bread was not good.. too much chili.
We shared the creme brulee dessert at the end, the sour sauce did not go well with the creme brulee. we shoulda gotten the duece de leche (sp). I've heard of it and planned on making it , but never had it !
