Good Friday Brunch

To start off our long weekend, my boyfriend and I decided to go to Barb And Ernie's (Old Country Inn) for brunch. Barb and Ernie's has been around since 1975 and they're famous for their eggs benedict, so we both settled for that! The restaurant itself definitely has a vintage feel; the portion was more than enough, I couldn't finish my plate (but I wish I did...). The only downside, is we had to wait a while for our food to come out.

Eggs Benedict with Turkey Bacon $14.95

Eggs Benedict with Combo Meat $15.95

Tasty Choice (pt1)

Lately, my boyfriend and I have been on a quest to try every bubble tea joint in the city, so on Saturday night, we decided to head down to Tasty Choice, right behind The Melting Pot. It opened till 1:00AM that day and it was definitely worth the long drive because we discovered our new favourite bubble tea place! Originally, I wanted to try their Japanese crepes, but got side tracked by their huge menu of "Hong-Kong street food."

I absolutely adore the interior! there are couches and bar chairs scattered around the cafe and lots of games to choose from!

The appetizers ranged between$4-$6 

My favourite was the mozzarella sticks! The bowl at the bottom was a rice dish with grilled pork, tomato sauce (?), and cheese-- oddly enough, cheese and rice go well together...

Just another Wednesday...

I'm probably weird for saying this, but I'm not a fan of Wednesdays. It's in the middle of the week so I can't be excited about the weekend nor can I reminisce about my "crazy weekend" since two days have passed... Really, what's the point of Wednesdays? Wish I could sleep through every Wednesday and wake up on Thursday to be excited about Friday!

Anyway, that was totally off topic but this Wednesday was SLIGHTLY better than others. After a full day of school, I went to Tres Carnales to satisfy my taco craving!

After a wonderful dinner, we headed to Dauphine's to grab some lemoney-treats, and enjoyed them by the River Valley!

Bubbletea

After having dinner at Wing Chicx, we decided to get dessert from Tea Cup 2 Go, located right across the parking lot from our restaurant. The owners were super friendly and didn't seem to mind serving us even though we showed up around closing time. Ok, not going to lie, I was super full from dinner but I saw their japadogs menu and could not resist!

I ordered the Tea Cup Dog ($4.25) this picture doesn't even begin to do it justice! But I don't recommend eating this on a full stomach (what I did lol HUGE mistake).

[From left to right] Lychee bubbletea with tapioca and mango jelly/WARM taro bubble milk with tapioca-- Ok I understand how weird that might sound but if you're a taro fan, or a fan of creamy, sweet, milk, drinks, THIS is the drink for you! Definitely my new favourite drink (YES!! I love it more than I love my london fogs!) 

KFC!!!

Despite how windy it was today, the boyfriend and I decided to take an extremely loooong drive down to Ellerslie/Summerside to eat dinner at Wing Chicx! The restaurant itself is quite small so the tables are packed close together but it was so worth the drive/wait to eat there. We were mainly excited about the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), it tastes a lot better than regular deep fried chicken, in a sense that it isn't greasy and the sauce that it comes with is also really good!

I truly believe that no korean dinner is complete without ddeobokki...

KFC! (Korean Fried Chicken)

I felt this was a bit overpriced for only two pieces but it tasted great!

A sneak peak inside the restaurant!

Gem of downtown Edmonton

After seeing food from Tres Carnales all over instagram, I finally got the chance to try the tacos from there! The line up was crazy! The restaurant itself is quite little but that doesn't seem to stop people from waiting in the cramp section of the restaurant to get their hands on some Mexican food! The food was very inexpensive and came out really quick!

Tinga Mixta Tacos ($10)

Chorizo Tacos ($10)

Guacamole y Totopos (BEST GUACAMOLE I'VE EVER EATEN)

Double date!

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I went on a double date to Joeys on Jasper Ave with our friends. We had to wait 30 minutes to get seated that evening but they offered us free appetizers while we waited so the service was really good! Overall the food was delicious and I would definitely come back again for their crispy mashed potatoes (which my boyfriend is crazy about!)

I was craving pasta that night so I ordered the ravioli (approximately $24) It tasted really good but it didn't fill me up (probably because I was super hungry) but I do recommend this!

The steak was excellent, I think I'd order a steak the next time I go.

Our friends ordered a steak and burger (which looked/smelt amazing!)
