My plan of not overeating or eating in general to prevent myself from bloating up like a ballon, of which my size double zero dress would be shameful to wear.. failed. It was only so long 30 minutes ago that I was so sure I should just. eat. a freaking. salad.
Never underestimate the power of a good hot dog.

Pre-wedding shameless selfies. I got caught taking these in the car, by what it appears to be, a 70 years old not so happy man. Whom probably thought to himself “how do I get rid of all asians”. My friend, these hotdogs are worth your while.

Previous post herehere.

After my friend’s church wedding reception; this felt like the right place to go.
Only because I needed a meal that won’t make my hormones go nuts and bloat up 10 lbs. Food comes second when you’re talking ’bout a double 0 dress yougottafitinto.

BLUE BRIE, TOMATO W/ PROSCUITTO ($8.95)
My boyfriend had the sandwich.. (good he said, but not good enough)
AVOCADO & WALNUT ($11.45)
Original price was $8.95 however, I had to add the proscuitto. And then an egg.

Salad like these one..
Utter. Joy.

And pre-wedding friendly (not my wedding, thank god)

I’ve learned something new, these are called “banchan”. Banchan were a bit odd here..

Some soup that came out with the bf’s dish.

FRIED DUMPLINGS ($6.99)

PORK BONE BROTH SOUP ($8.99)

PORK CUTLET ($10.99)

Served with rice, salad, and soup.

Before korean food! Arts of culinary graduation!

Congrats to my bf’s brother, hehe.

The flavours weren’t all there for me. Not much of that authentic Korean dining experience. They were all over the place with the menu and even the interior. I even felt confused for them. Big enough portions for you to come back if getting your moneys worth is what you want.

My first time having menchies in a waffles cone. Best part? Finding out I was qualified for a freebie from my menchies reward program. Those are the best. Like today, I was about to put some change into a the parking meter, but realized someone left me with 54 mins.. Those little ah-ha life moments. It’s so awesome.

I don’t know if I am happy about menchies popping out everywhere. It’s not really diet friendly when I coat my frozen yogurt in that much toppings. I almost believed my own lies I told myself once upon a time. But no my friends, red velvet disguised as frozen yogurt is still nothing abs-friendly. But who cares anymore? Abs are so last year.

Today was one of those days. Thank you, but no thank you.

11 AM: Accident at the gym, hurt myself pretty bad. (don’t want to talk about it)
4 PM: Bad work day
5 PM: No seat belt ticket… another $160 fine
6 PM: Got to downtown. Hungry, but couldn’t eat yet.. parking took forever to find.
7 PM: Only 2 hours to find a last min dress for friend’s wedding.
8 PM: Both our phone died, rogers charged my bf’s iphone for 30 mins.. very nice of em
9 PM: Finally found dress, went back to the car. CAR WASN’T THERE!!!! Apparently missed it by 3 mins. Impark man. Never parking with em again.
10 PM: Took a cab to impound. Paid $20 for cab. Paid $100 to get the car out. Car didn’t even touch the ground yet. Hmph.
10:30 Realized I forgot MY DAMN DRESS I just bought in the cab
10:45: Waited for a phone call back from cab company about a missing $300 dress
11 PM: Can the day just END already!?!! Had dinner at stephos finally. Ordered a bottle of wine. All was good.

Well, not really. To be honest, I have no idea what hit us both that day. One of the worst days I ever had.. but then again, I reminded myself I was breathing and that’s always a good sign.

My pictures for once REALLY does not do justice of how conveniently cheap and delicious stephos is. I mean that pork chops, BEST I HAD! For that price??! I’ll have it over & over again. I’m not saying this only because that bottle of wine was the cheapest I ever had at any restaurant and was the only positive thing that happened to me all day.. but really, stephos. I love you for that you did not disappoint me on sucha horrible day. Life saver.

DARK CHOCOLATE ($6.25)

This is the kind of crepes you would get if you were stuck in one of those “Hangover” movies. What I am trying to say is, if you got drunk with a tiger, woke up with a tattoo on your face, and lose one of your fingers while tryna kidnap a monkey….. this is the kind of crepes you would produce. It would be kind of understandable. KIND OF.

Despicable.

I think I’ll start a new category called Clean Eats. What do you guys think? Everyone should hop on that healthy wagon.

The first sign of summer.
That’s always a good thing right?

“From the fisherman’s ship to the Granville Street strip”

Taking over the old Glowbal Group Sanafir, The Fish Shack kept the same space, but with a more laid-back kickback fisherman style.

THE FISH SHACK’S VERY OWN ($8)
Pinnacle vodka, our house caesar mix: clamato & tomato juice, horseradish, tabasco, worcestershire, fresh lime juice, s&p, dijon mustard, prawn & pepperoni stick

NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER (comp)
Served in a sour dough bowl.

FISH TACOS LUNCH BOX ($11.99)
served with salad or soup, and fries. Lunch box ends at 3.

DUNGENESS CRAB BENNY ($9.50)
All bennys served on an english muffin with hollandaise, potato wedges & fruit

The fish shack and “shopping day” ended with the same results for me. I by no means, am a girl when it comes to shopping. Girls likes to shop right? Well then I suppose I can exclude myself from the norm because I HATE SHOPPING! I love clothes. I like dressing up. Looking pretty and all. But I hate shopping. Dread it. Unless…… I am half drunk, then I don’t mind shopping. So that’s what I did right before I had to go find a dress to wear to a wedding that weekend. That’s norm right?

Fish shack lacked taste. Fish tacos I could’ve made better. Crab benny should’ve been called just a benny; no sight of crab. Well, I lied there was maybe like 2 strands.

Maybe I should come back to try what it’s really known for. Their seafood.

Name one person that would go grab a bite at a food truck right before their scheduled brunch date? Oh…. I don’t know….. whoooo could do such a fat thing?!

Yolk’s food truck

The sauces, I like spicy ketchup. Which is just ketchup&tabasco.

BRAISED LAMB SANDWICH ($9.95)
Poached egg and wilted spinach.

TRUFFLE LEMON HASHBROWN SKEWERS ($2.75)
Organic local potatoes, fresh lemon, truffle oil, sea salt & chives

Eggs are sort of like bacon. Practically everything gets better with eggs.
