Este lugar está seriamente loca-lah! ¿Alguna vez has querido Chexican-ma? Es un lugar pequeño con la realidad no hay donde sentarse, así que prepárate para tener que ir. Es como si caminamos en el sótano de su hijo adolescente de.

Burritos con el chow-mein. En esencia esa es la base. Me encantó la carne de cerdo cocido lento, pero no era el mayor fan de la burito pescado. Yo prefiero Burrito Boy  Burrito de pescado un poco más.

Con todo, este lugar era una locura!

Holy Jabezus Mother of Murphy this place is good.  A coworker regularly brings in a box-o-treats and I'm a sucker for pastries.  But these box-o-crazy-goodness is some of the best I've ever had.  The custard is as good as general custer's last stand , and the flaky is flakier than any of the Kardashians.

I mean, when they name an entire pastry after these people, you know its got to be done right?  Am I right?  

I'm now torn between Danish, Portuguese and Italian pastries,  but that's a good thing.  I find Danish stuff a little less sweet but still all the same richness, and is slowly winning me over the little Portuguese tarts.

Do yourself a favour, make the trek here!  If you live remotely close in this hood and don't know about it... shame on you!!  I'm only surprised how few people have reviewed this place.

Ohhhhh...

Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying fast as I can
I've got to go... got to go

Once upon a time steamed fish just fell apart
You were holding in your hands and the suckling pig touches my heart
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh!

Ohhhhh...

Once upon a time, we burned thru the rice
Now all we ever seem to do eat once or twice
On and on...
And on and on and on...

Once upon a time on the same side.
Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game
And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw water on my stain

[Chorus:]
I could've been at the Princes', You'd be a King
Could've had crispy chicken, and probably the wing
But no, you let me go

And stole my star

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You stole my star la, la la la la laaaaaa

Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh

Greetings loved ones
Let's take a journey

[Katy Perry ]
I know a place
Where the veal is really leaner
Warm, wet and wild
There must be somethin' in the sauce
Sippin' pepsi or juice
Food's layin' underneath the heating lamps (Undone)
The boys
Break their necks
Try'na creep a little sneak peek (At us)

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
To the Golden Coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
Oooooh oh oooooh

California Sandwiches
They're a little forgettable
Veal or Chicken
Onions on top
Sun-roasted peppers
So hot
They'll melt your Popsicle
Oooooh oh oooooh

-----

Solid, messy, saucy sandwiches.. A little pricey for a Sausage Sandwich and pop for $11 no?

Good, but I'd rather pick up something from woodbridge/little italy or the Bistro Basillico in Scaborough.

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the congee queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they make chow mien, getting in the swing
You come in to look for chicken a la king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the food is high
With a bit of rock lobster, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a food trance
And when you get the chance...

You are the congee queen, young chow rice, and chow mien
Congee queen, feel the meat from the spicy pork and bean
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the congee queen

Thanks to Edwin A for hosting a UYE.  A bunch of food... A bunch of People... $8 each.

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt

Damn it.. why did they have to open one so close to my work??  I actually prefer good frozen yogurt over ice cream now, and Menchie's is pretty darn good.  

My standard mix is the Cake Batter and Cookie'n Cream.  Unfortunately they rotate their flavours every so often, so I can never count on my favs being there for sure.  

Anyways.. this is a standard Menchie's layout, look and feel.  From LA to HK, its pretty much the same, all the way.

Congrats to Beard-o for his turn at running the Yelp ship.  Arrrr.. Ye be a good run matey... Arrrr. (not sure why I feel I must speak Piratese)

Can't believe it's been about 5 months since I last saw most of my yelp amigos.  And although I didn't get to spend too much time there last night, it was fitting end to another chapter in Yelp T-dot history.  

As snoop dog would say... Church!

Big Moe's Burgers

If you've ever watched Man Vs Food, they had an episode on the creation of the Jucy (or Juicy) Lucy and the battle of the founders in Minneapolis.

The Jucy Lucy is basically a burger stuffed with cheese.  I remember watching it and thinking piping hot cheese squirting out of meat when you take a bite might not be a good idea, but meh, what do I know.

Wouldn't you know it, we accidentally discovered this place and whaddaya know, they have the Juicy Lucy!  What the hey right?  Wouldn't you know it... I forgot about my own cautionary thoughts when I watched that episode, took a big bite, and out squirted the molten lava cheese, giving me a decent lip burn.

The burger was ok, but now that I've had it, I think a burger with Cheese Wiz or nacho sauce put right on it might be as good or better, without the burn.

The fries were a bit soggy.. probably an indicator of old oil.

Overall.. it was aight.

It was.. alright.  not the best, but not the worst.  I didn't see any daily $5-6 specials as everything started at about $7.99.  Had the Spicy Maki set for $12.99.  For that price it doesn't really compare to a place like say Ichiban.  

The service was fine.  The Food was fine.  Everything was.. well fine.  Not sure if I'll remember to come back or not though.

The Patty Shack  

Category: Burgers

5.0 star rating

Ok GTAers, forget the Burger's Priest, Big Smoke, Gourmet Burger, Great Burger Kitchen... the best burger in a day's horseback ride away is the patty shack.

The beef itself is a great burger, but what sets this place apart is what seems like an unlimited selection of toppings.  From the at least 4 types of onions (regular, red, caramelized, fried) to their umpteen house sauces to the sauteed mushrooms... all for no extra charges!

Select from a variety of sizes of your patty, your bun of choice, and the gazillion toppings which probably took me 10 minutes to read, a 1/4 lb combo with awesome-not-overly-battered-rings and a drink was $8 something.

Located just north of the GM center... the only disappointment we had was after watching the Oshawa Gens play, we wanted to get another burger for the trip home and they were closed!

Why can't we have something like this in the 416???
