Kim Chi Korean Delight

Food courts don’t need to be ordinary anymore! Market mall has added the Kim Chi Korea Delight, and it is indeed quite delightful! I normally get stuck with the regular food court franchises, and it’s quite refreshing to see something new!! So, of course I went to try it. When I went, I want to say it was still quite new, so it’s not as good as can be.

I’ve ordered Japchae (Stir-fry potato glass noodle with vegetables with beef), and you can choose between beef, chicken, shrimp, vegetarian. It was a great dish, and I really enjoyed the flavour, and the texture of the glass noodles.

We also ordered the special at the time with beef and chicken Bulgogi. Normally, the bulgogi is vegetable and meat stir-fry with Bulgogi sauce with rice and a choice of beef, chicken, shrimp, vegetarian. The special tasted really good, however the beef was a little tough.

Kim Chi Korean delight will definitely be in a the running next time I need to eat at Market Mall food court, as it was a great option when I didn’t want the ordinary!

Calgary Stampede Breakfast

Stampede Breakfast: Pancakes, sausage, other great food, great location, great entertainment, FREE!

What’s there not to like about stampede Breakfasts?

3 of my favourite Stamped Breakfasts:
1. Family Day at the Stampede Grounds – Calgary Stampede has always offered a stampede breakfast at the Grandstand, thanks to Caravan Stampede Breakfasts. They offer great breakfasts throughout the city during the 10 days of the greatest outdoor show! I always end up at the Grandstand for the Caravan breakfast. I try to hit the other ones, but they’re usually on a weekday, and I don’t have time to enjoy them.

2. Chinook Centre Stampede Breakfast – in the parking lot of Chinook Centre, they also offer a Stampede Breakfast. I believe it’s privately held, and it’s a delicious one! Pack with tons of people, samples and coupons from stores at the mall, live music, pancakes with blueberries, coffee, juice, and a lot more – this truly is one of the best mornings you can have! They always have their stampede breakfast the 1st Saturday over the Stampede! 🙂 Be sure to support them!

3. McKenzie Towne Stampede Breakfast – located right on High Street in the Southeast, the roads are blocked for this event, it’s a large community gathering, and it’s fantastic! You get a lot of community support from local shops, with lots of activities for children and adults. The food they give is actually top notch! During my visit to the McKenzie Towne Breakfast, they had inflatable bouncy kids play area near the Sobeys, they had popcorn and other great treats for sale, as well, they had a lot of samples they gave out from the stores near and around High Street such as treats from the Groomingtails, and mini cupcakes from the Little Cupcake Shoppe. It was magnificent!

Calgary Stampede Rodeo

It’s my favourite time of year coming around again! It’s Calgary Stampede! I’ve began a new interest that just sparked last year, it’s the Rodeo. I’ve somehow got really interested in watching the rodeo after the company party went to watch at the Roadhouse last year.

We bought our tickets to see the Rodeo on the grounds, and they weren’t too expensive! I always thought anything extra on the ground would be sky high in price. I did learn if you pre-purchase your tickets, it does include gate admission, and that is something I will be taking advantage of this year!

Our seats were pretty far back, so the pictures are kind of small… but, they are awesome! 🙂 I will definitely be returning to the rodeo again – if the weather is right. I’m not one to sit out in the rain to watch it.

Fat Kee Noodle House

I’ve been going to Fat Kee for many years now, and I love their fresh noodles that they make for their distributors — they use the same noodles for their customers! You’ll always get their freshest noodles, and many other products.

This place is a little place, and the food is really reasonable, with great quality!! Sure, their specialty noodle dishes maybe a little bit smaller than going somewhere else, but you must remember, they aren’t as expensive! The best thing about smaller portions, you can try more variety!

It is extremely busy here during weekdays in the afternoon, and many evenings as people order takeout. It appears that they have a lot of customers who are return customers, as the waitress seem to really know their guests and their preferences!!

Fat Kee offers quite traditional food as well as North American Chinese food, both really tasty!! Be sure to pick up some of their noodles from T&T! 🙂

We really enjoy their deep fried tofu, it’s actually deep fried tofu, and deep fried again to a crisp. It’s served with some salt on the side for you to dip it in, but it’s actually flavourful enough as is.

We also often order the Spicy Soy Sauce Chicken and rice, and it’s also really delicious. They steam the chicken, and top it with chilies & ginger. The soy sauce that the chicken sits in is really good with rice!! If you just want to eat a bowl of rice with some sauce, this would be the sauce!!!

As always, I eat Shanghai Noodles everywhere I go, so it is no surprise I have it here as well. The noodles as mentioned are really fresh and soft, with the right amount of seasoning and pork. They don’t need to add much to the already perfect noodles!

Rocky Mountain Bagel Company – Canmore, Alberta

I heard lots of great things about the Rocky Mountain Bagel Company in Canmore! So, we woke up one day while we were staying out in Canmore and decided to try for ourselves. The places is very comfortable, and very welcoming!

We ordered 2 bagels and 2 hot chocolates, and were given a colored spoon to put on our table. When the order was ready, they would come by and give us our order. It was a really neat system they had. I found it hard to tell some spoons apart from others, but I guess they’re us to it!

The bagel sandwiches were really fresh! They’re amazing!! The bagels had a nice consistency and the sandwiches were fresh! I had the Mountaineer and that bagelwich was filled with Cream Cheese, Montreal Smoked Beef, and toppings like Lettuce, Tomato, and Onions.

The other sandwich that we ordered was the Smoked Turkey Bagelwich and that was delicious and fresh as well. The best part was the food was relatively inexpensive for what it was, and where it was too!
