Date Visited: June 20 2015 What I ate: Cappuccino 6/10 Had too much milk in it Foam was not stiff enough There was no depth to the cappuccino, tasted bland, more like a latte Egg mac – bacon, scrambled eggs, processed cheese, lots of butter 6.5/10 This dish was… interesting. It reminded me somewhat of McDonalds fish filet because of the pickly-mayonnaisey –thousandisland-dressing type of sauce…

Thoughts on Dumpster Diving and Feeding 5K Event

Thoughts on Dumpster Diving and Feeding 5K Event #feeding5k #freelunch #nofoodwasted

It had been a really long time since I last volunteered and I felt that volunteering for something I believe in and have a deep connection too would be a great start to getting into again. The Feeding 5K event is an event that started in the UK. Rescued food is food that is edible but for a number of reasons it gets wasted and thrown out. Households just in Metro Vancouver throw away over 100,000…

Had a great time @ChatimeCanada! Bubble tea is life. #food #bubbletea

Disclosure: I was invited by ChineseBites to sample Chatime’s drinks but my opinions have not been influenced by ChineseBites or the restaurant and are my own.

Date Visited: April 30 2015 What I ate:

Good ratio of filling to bread

There was a lot of filling in this one but I thought it was a bit overwhelming

No…
