New favorite bubble tea place!

Qupcafe, recently opened on Whyte Ave, it is located on the upper level of  the chain of restaurants on 109st. The owners there are very friendly and seemed very eager to cater to us! Not to mention that the bubble tea is very good and they have a pretty interesting menu! Qupcafe is definitely my new favorite bubble tea place. Hopefully they get hyped up so they can extend their hours...

Egg waffles

Green onion cake

Labour Day Dinner

Being a meat lover, a fan of steak in particular, The Keg is always my go to place for steak. Right before the summer ended, I took my parents to the north end location of The Keg and even with reservations, we had to wait a little over an hour. Every time I visit The Keg, it's always busy so you know they have great food!

Top Sirloin and Atlantic Lobster Tail

Somewhere different

After hearing many people rave about Coliseum Pizza & Steak, I finally got the chance to give this place a try! I usually try places far south or in downtown so it was nice to try something different. Despite the location of this restaurant, the interior is very homely and surprisingly it is very spacious inside.

The Top Sirloin ($24.95) came with a slice of garlic toast, a potato, and I had an option of adding mushrooms. I really recommend getting the mushrooms with it because they were my favorite part. After giving us our food, the waiter came by with "condiments" for our potatoes!

New York Steak ($28.95)

I wasn't a huge fan of this Pina Colada because the taste of alcohol was really strong, it basically just tasted like rum with a coconut scent.

New favorite Japanese restaurant

In my honest opinion, I truly believe that 124th street has a few of the best restaurants in the city! Recently, a new all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant opened near the end of it! I've always been skeptical about Japanese all-you-can-eat places because I'm worried that the sashimi or other ingredients won't be fresh. But Watari is definitely my new favorite go to place! The food came out quick, the service was good, and most importantly everything tasted great! I eat a lot so what should have probably been a $200 bill, costed me $25 (per person/ I went with one other friend.). My friend and I nearly ordered everything on the menu, here are pictures of some of the food we ate!

I kept ordering more of these deep fried sushi rolls!

Aside from their all-you-can-eat menu, they also had a separate dessert menu which had their own price.

Before it Rained

Before it rained on Thursday evening, I got the chance to have dinner on the patio at Blue Plate Diner, located in the heart of the Warehouse District in downtown Edmonton. Might I add, it's always difficult for me to settle on a place to eat whenever I'm in this area, EVERY cafe and restaurant there is great. I chose this restaurant because my friend is a vegetarian and most restaurants do not have a wide variety of vegetarian options but Blue Plate Diner has quite a few.

Usually Sangria is made with red wine but they had an option of red or white so I decided to try white wine sangria and I like it better than with red!

Somewhere around the corner

On a beautiful Wednesday evening, I met up with my friends after work for dinner and drinks.We went to Cask & Barrel around the corner of 7-eleven on Jasper Ave. It's a cozy little place and the menu is mostly comfort foods! After dinner, we went to Windermere VIP Cinemas for a second dinner + more drinks!

Birthday dinner

For my birthday, I decided to go to the south side location of Tropika with my family for a simple dinner. The food was excellent as always, definitely one of my favorite restaurants! Tropika had always been my go-to restaurant for family outings, you need to check this place out if you haven't!

Tuesday night

Deciding where to eat is always a problem for me... I either have too many options to choose from or I'm not craving anything in particular. This evening I settled for Cactus Club Cafe on Jasper Ave, the atmosphere was great and the servers were quite friendly but the overall taste of the food was average.

My friend and I ordered a tuna tataki to share. I'm not a fan of tuna but the avocados that came with it were tasty and I was told that this is a very popular dish.

Peppercorn sirloin

Soy dijon salmon

It was such a hot day that I decided to order something other than water this is the, Nothing But Pink martini. 

White chocolate cheesecake, which was the best part of the dinner...

Wildflower Grill

Located at the Matrix Hotel, this little restaurant is tucked away in downtown Edmonton, it's quiet and dainty, perfect for a date night, family night, girls night, ANY NIGHT! Not to mention, this place also offers a free "sample" appetizer and a free dessert!

This was our free sample appetizer, a spoonful of salmon!

This dish could be eaten within two bits, I wouldn't recommend getting this if you are hungry! Especially for the price you would pay.

Are you guys noticing how I always order ravioli when it's on the menu?! Yup, it's true, I'm on the hunt for the BEST ravioli! Luckily, no place has beaten my love for Cibo's ravioli, but Wildflower Grill gets second place in my heart! I would definitely come back for this!

Strawberry shortcake anyone? Not too sweet and the whipped cream was whipped to perfection!

Our free dessert(s)! My finger is there for size reference (lol!) They were (almost) too cute to eat but of course I had to devour them...

Favorite restaurant!

I don't have ONE particular favorite food, but I do have a favorite restaurant and that would be, Cibo Bistro, sandwiched between several other stores and restaurants on 104th Ave. An ntre from this little gem could easily cost as much as an entire meal from another Italian restaurant, but it is definitely worth it. The portion size isn't grand but the flavor is everything! If I lived closer to downtown Edmonton, I'm positive that I'd have dinner there everyday!

Polenta Fritta, not sure how to describe these but they were similar to giant fries except instead of being potatoes, they were filled with cheese? They were quite filling but very good!

Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of this dish but it was apart of their dinner menu and I can promise you that it tasted better than how it looks (ok lets be real now, it looks delicious!)

This may look like a simple ravioli dish, but it was the best ravioli I've ever had in my life! (price ranges around $35)
