Koerner Pub at UBC ~~ Sustainable Dining

This place is soooooo hipster <3

Just for the record, I didn't drink anything, I swear. The food is wonderful on its own; BUT if you want a drink, the beers and pressed juices come in adorable mason jars :D how cool is that??? You're allowed to take it home with a $1 deposit, and then return it the next time you come back for another drink.

 

My friends and I came here for the free ice cream, hawhawhaw. We also didn't realize how big the portions were, so we kind of got fat.

"Spicy" roasted chickpeas and edamame

 I put "spicy" in apostrophes because...it wasn't really spicy. It was just coated in curry powder. This kind of snack is super cheap, and compliments the bitter taste of beer with its strong flavors.

 

The nachos...got really spicy, hahah. They used fresh jalapenos; it wasn't so bad at first, but it started to get really spicy after a while.

I LOVE THIS SALAD. It's called kale and quinoa salad, but there's much more than that; there's cranberries, pumpkin seeds, shredded squash *squeal* I love my salads.

This pressed juice is called the "braniac"; it has beets, carrots, celery, ginger...I don't know if I'm missing any ingredients, haha. It's GREAT, unless you don't like the super healthy stuff...whatever, I like it. The ginger really overpowered :D I like ginger, but if you don't...you may not want to order this. :P

ICE CREAM

 THE MOMENT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...ice cream <3 You can't really tell (even in real life), but the one on the right is London Fog and the one of the left is Whiskey Hazelnut. They are SO good; it has that rich homemade taste. The London Fog is sweet and delicate in comparison to the Whiskey Hazelnut; the Whiskey Hazelnut has a strong cinnamon/spice flavor. My friends and I went to heaven <3

For the meat eaters, like my friends, they ordered pulled pork sandwiches; these are basically those popular Taiwanese buns that are stuffed with pork, except this version has pork from a different part of the pig. My Asian friends approve of this rendition; they said it was really tasty.
