The Canteen

no way is this going to be a food blog zach! My life is more than just about food joints ok!! But, hehe that guy has a point - food really gets me going. Gives me the 'buzzing' feeling that very few people can give me! hahaha

I went to The Canteen today... the atas one by Les Amis along Shaw Centre. Actually we were supposed to go to the French Stall but freak, the whole place was closed. Hmmmpph. Never fear. We were not undeterred in our quest for good dinner. All of us were STARVING.

The set dinner consisted of an appetiser, an intermezzo, the main course, dessert and a choice of coffee/tea. All at the steep price of $38 ++ But since it was on my list, it was worth me being able to finally cross something off. I must say that the intermezzo, the mushroom soup, was a delight. It came in a tiny cup, slightly larger than an expresso cup. But it was thick, frothy and smooth.

The main course wasn't much to crow about. Dunno why Lihui insisted that the french fries were fantastic, but I thought they were too skinny. But the dessert was superb man... 3 of us had this rich thick tiramisu. It's way thicker than the one at Prego's. Ceyu got the apple pie that came wrapped like a fried wantun in filo pastry. His was the largest and the flashiest. When I go there again, I'll definitely get that...

I have been spending way too much money on food the past few weeks. I'm starting to get very concerned... But I think I must curtail the expenditure soon!! This week... this should be the last week.....
