T.Pot China Bistro

One of my favorite Chinese places to go to would be T.Pot China Bistro. I like it there so much, I actually got married there.

Sure, the food is a little costlier, but the food tastes good, and they have a good standard for quality and taste. Have you been to a restaurant, where you only go if one specific chef was there? Well, you don’t have to here!!

T.Pot is quite far from where I live, but I enjoy the trip there — and best of all, when I’m all stuffed, I get to go grocery shopping at T&T!

Some of my most favorite dishes from here would be the Shrimp with Mayonnaise and Broccoli. I don’t know what it is, but I really like it! 🙂 I’m sure I can make it at home too, but I just don’t want too! They have quite a wide selection of good food on their menu – be sure to check it out for yourself!

IKEA Restaurant – Calgary, Alberta

This morning, we went to IKEA, we needed to pick some stuff up from IKEA, and made a morning out of it! 🙂 Of course, we started by arriving 10ish, just in time for breakfast!! Breakfast at IKEA has always been affordable, and it’s not bad for what you’re getting, and the amount you’re receiving!

We of course have the $1 breakfast meal, and add things to it!! The breakfast includes Scrambled eggs, sausages, and home fries. The eggs are always a little funny, but it’s pretty good with the remedy for all weird food — ketchup! I must say, I really enjoy the home fries (potato chucks), and for me, instead of ketchup, I like the maple syrup that goes with pancakes! I know, it’s sounds funny… but, my husband likes it with Ranch dressing… so, you decide who is weirder!

Today, my addition thing that I had with my $1 breakfast was Organic crepes stuffed with spinach and cheese. It looked a little funny, but it tasted good. My husband had Bacon and French Toast.

The French toast was interesting… it was dense, but it made up for it as it was a Cinnamon Toast! 🙂 If you’re going for Breakfast, be sure to be there before 11AM!

Tang Toasted Subs & Grill – Calgary, Alberta

This morning, I woke up really wanting a good Vietnamese submarine. I didn’t want to go all the way to my favorite place in Chinatown, so I decided to give Tang Toasted Subs & Grill a try.

It wasn’t as I hoped for… as my expectations were really high — however, the sub was flavorful with it’s sauce from the chicken. I had the Satay Chicken, and my husband had the Mega Sub (Sate Chicken and Beef). I think the actual sub bun wasn’t as fresh or something. Usually when you toast bread, it’s got a distinctive taste and smell, which these subs seems to be lacking. The carrots weren’t actually pickled, or it was just really lightly done… or the carrot sticks were too large. You couldn’t taste the “pickled” part of it, which usually adds to the taste of a Vietnamese Sub.

We did see a lot of their customers eating the rice bowls, which really was just vermicelli bowls, and they looked like they were enjoying themselves! I guess if I was in that area, I would go in to give it a try too! 🙂

Regardless, it’s a great place for a quick cure! And, a place I will return to try other selections which I didn’t get to this time.

We were going to get drinks, as both of us love bubble tea — however, they do not use fresh fruits, as you can see the powders they use. Neither of us are fans of powder bubble tea, so we opted out this time. They called these drinks smoothies at Tang.

Fatty’s Chinese Fast Food – Honolulu, Hawaii

It’s a neat little place where you go up to the kitchen and sit there…. tell the chef yourself what you want – and watch them cook your food.

The food is well worth the value, and it taste good!! It’s not over rated, it’s not fine dining, but an excellent place to have a quick bite without going to fast food.

The location is pretty good also! Right on the side of the International Market! My family and I’ve been going there since I was little, and now I bring my husband there!! it’s been around for ever, and we’ve been going there forever!! I see no reason to stop!! 🙂

Roy’s Waikiki Beach – Honolulu, Hawaii

We were on our honeymoon and we’ve always wanted to eat here — especially after watching “At the table with…” on the food network.

We made ourselves a nice reservation, and we were so happy we did. The environment was amazing, our server was knowledgeable and helpful, and best of all… the food was wonderful!!! It really made the dinner experience come together.

You must try Roy’s Melting Hot Chocolate Soufflé: Raspberry Coulis, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, since it was magical!!! The food was cooked to perfection as everything else was!!
