Adventures of Fatmine & Fatmanda: Memory Corner

Totally forgot about this place *_* My potted dessert took forever to come...looks like a real plant, right? It's cookie crumbs and a mint leave on top of strawberries, apples, kiwis, and vanilla ice cream. Not really worth $6, but the effort to make it is what makes it pricey.

 

Also got the almond chocolate toast :P My friend ordered a salted caramel cap drink (basically heavy cream on top of the salted caramel) and my other friend ordered a strawberry banana smoothie.

 

I should warn you guys that the giant toasts that they serve have to be ordered a day in advance since they take a really long time to put together...Also, they don't have a lot of the drinks on the menu during this time of the year because it's out of season -__- so saaad.

Adventures of Fatmine & Fatmanda: Miura ~~ Japanese Waffle Sandos*

*by sandos, I mean, sandwiches.
Honestly, a lot of the stuff is really easy to make; you pretty much put the stuff you want between two waffles. It tastes really good :D I got a veggie waffle sando and the cheesecake dessert waffle. My friend ordered the banana cream waffle sando. The place is also super adorable...so Japanese *_* worth it <3

There was also a couple and a baby that sat next to us; the baby couldn't stop staring at me :3 so cute...and then a bunch of food just poured out of its mouth, hahahaha

SEEDLINGS...seedlingz........seedlaannggzzz.....?

I think y'all should realize that I'm never going to stop coming here until I try everything. 🍔🍲🌱


The best bang for you buck is the burger/stew + salad combo for $5 CAD (???), except... They must've run out of salad because they gave me stew haha. Both of them were black bean, so I full suuuupppeeerrr full.... X___X all of that protein and fiberrrrr....


If you're vegan or vegetarian, this place is especially important for you to try... But just for the record, meat lovers love it too. ;)

Han Ju: hot pot at Crystal Mall

I haven't been to Crystal Mall for a long time...but when my friend came up to visit me, and my concert and midterm was over with, I was like...friendship + food > responsibilities (don't worry, I got everything done). Vegetarians, there's is almost nothing for you to eat here, so I'm sorry. BUT...it's cheap. My veggie hot pot was about $7 CAD; pretty nice, eh? All of the dishes are extremely filling too.

Adventures of Fatmine & Fatmanda: Orange Corner

 Hay guyz I went to orenji kerner. It was a dark and stormy night (jk, but it was dark and rainy), and we took the disgustingly hot bus to Kerrisdale...I was so happy that I got crepes and bubble tea to sooth my stressful day <3 omnomnom (or should I say...onmonmon). Though on the pricey side, they have a great variety (crab and avocado crepes and caramel milk tea maaaan). 9/10

Left to right: passion fruit tea, caramel milk tea, red bean milk tea

HOW CUTE IS THIS <3

Adventures of Fatmine & Fatmanda: Capstone ~~ Fondue and drinks

Warning: this place is overpriced -__- you could honestly melt your own chocolate and put it over a candle...but I guess this is just something a person should try at least once. My friend and I decided to split the combo set to cut down the cost dramatically; getting your own $10 set comes with a medium sized drink.

Potluck of treats over the last few weeks

Since I've been putting this off too long, I'm just going to consolidate the highlights of the last few weeks into this post, haha.

 

 

Shrimp fried rice from Pegasus in Redmond Town Center

There's not too much pho around Redmond (especially after Pho Than Brothers closed..like what??), but luckily enough, a relatively new place called Pegasus will still satisfy your Viet cravings. It's also relatively inexpensive and they have a wide variety of options. What else could you ask for?

I got this Shrimp tempura hand roll at the T&T supermarket. Honestly, $2 for a wrap is pretty meh, but whatever...because buying overpriced hand rolls or onigiri is something a college student should do at least once, hahah. Besides, I still suck at making hand rolls and sushi (the excuses to justify this situation will never end)

 

I'm pretty proud of this hot chocolate. If you recall my adventures during the hot chocolate festival, those hot chocolates that were 72% or 60% were pretty much like what I made here. All I did was put brown sugar with cocoa powder, and then added hot water. I paid $8 during the hot chocolate festival D:< now, I am an HC master (close enough).

 

 

Not lunar new year anymore (last month, ahem), but just look at the cake and forget my irresponsibleness.

Strawberry daiquiri at Mahony and Sons. Honestly, I don't like alcohol because to me it tastes terrible...but I can't even taste the alcohol. I mean, I should've just gotten a virgin version of this. It's like a high class strawberry slush.

Last but not least, the PEACH BLOSSOM LATTE. I've been wanting to try this after seeing all of the instagram photos...it's pretty much earl grey tea with peach syrup, but we all know Starbucks overprices their drinks. It's ok, take my money Starbucks. You're just Bing rewards anyways (LOL).
