Time just ZOOOOMs by somehow…

Overall, the experience was alright, it felt like there was more people this year than ever! You sort of had to join a ‘flowing stream’ to get around…

I mostly went because I wanted to eat the FOOD! Expecially stinky tofu, soo GOOD! don’t know where else in toronto i would be able to find it! Tried the takoyaki, it was meh, didnt taste good. The ‘stir fry’ ice cream was a fail, they ran out of dry ice so they couldn’t stir lol, they were selling ice cream with toppings on top for 4$, such a rip, we didnt bother. Also had some squid and meat skewers,….hmmm so gud!

After, met up with some friends and went to the BEST BBT venue GREEN GROTTO after, honeydew yogurt chiller is the best. get it next time you go, you won’t regret it. We had too many people so we got take out, i think it was cheaper (?), stephen ate his raw oysters from night market during parking lot chill XD

FUN TIMES, SEE YOU NEXT YEAR,

“Is this Garbage? Please let us know.”
“Thanks, custodians”

“Yes it is, ♥OCD”

I dunno Off-Campus-Dons, i don’t think the custodians will ‘heart’ you much in return. You just made them throw out two boxes of fine chips. Albeit they’re old (2008) and probably stale. But I had a bag and they were fine.

Kids these days.

It took less than 1/2 hr to make and turned out very good. The recipe called for walnuts, but I didn’t have any, so i substituted it with Horlick malk drink mix. Quite good! It made it a malty flavour. Ask me if you want the recipe!

We got there and one restaurant caught our attn, we didn’t really feel like chinese food, but chinese-nized western food a.k.a hk cafe style. It was called Red Ant Restaurant. I found the name funny, why would you name a restaurant ‘Red Ant’. Maybe its to continue the theme of naming restaurants after insects much like the ‘Firefly’ restaurant at FMP.

Anyhow, we looked at the menu, the prices were quite good! The lunch special menu was around $6 to $10. Comes with the Entree, Soup and Drink and SEASONAL FRUITS O BOY. The food was pretty good, the soup was ok. What surprised us what the lenght the went to to make the drink cold. See normal people would put ice INSIDE the drink. Not here they didn’t, they got a bowl, dumped some crushed ice in it, and stuck the cup into the ice! What the hell?! (I regret not taking a picture of it)

Below you will see a gallary of pictures including the actual food. Theres Baked Pork Chop rice, Japanese Curry Beef, and some chicken Udon thing.

I don’t know how much longer this place will survive, the previous restaurant that occupied that unit don’t tend to last very long. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Edit: Ok so apparently theres a franchise in Hong Kong also called Red Ant Restaurant. I have a feeling this is just a fake knock off.

First I tried Loblaws, I couldn’t find it myself so I asked someone. They are very stupid:”What a milk frother?”

I tried to explain to them what it is, albeit, I sounded quite stupid. “It a spinning thing that makes milk foam.” In the end, they didn’t have one.

So onto The Bay hoping to find a decently priced one. They had one, it was $29.99. $29.99!??! Why are they charging me $29.99 for a stupid metal prong stuck on a motor? I left hastly. I give up, I’m going home.

On my way home, I saw this store:

04192009117 04192009115 04192009118

This store is amazing! How could I have missed it all this time? They get all this kitchen stuff for LESS! Spent some time, walked around. Alas, I have found my milk frother. Guess how much? $5! Still expensive IMO but better than $29.99… They also had all these coffee pots, moka pots, and french presses. (Stephen if you read this they have cheap french presses, check out the picture!) The also have a cheap espresso machine they sell at The Bay for $100 for $60 and they’re assortment of random kitchen stuffs is very complete including an avocado slicer.

If you need kitchen stuff, go to this place first. This locations @ Yonge & High Tech (north of 7)
