After tasting it at Bistro Pastis my friends cannot forget the amazing texture of Gratin Potato.
My friends decided to do some experiment at home.
looking through many recipes on the internet, we came up with many version of the Gratin Potato.
Version I: Thin layers of potato mix with cheese and milk and send it into the oven.
Version II: Thin layers of potato sinks in the water, and dry it and stack up with butter then pop it into the oven
Version III: Thin layers of potato cook in pan with butter till caramelized.
Version I: Taste just like smash potato - result fail!
Version II: Taste like version I.
Version III:Taste like potato chips :D but still fail

Waves Coffee - Place to cram
Finals around the corner university student are looking for good environment for study. After finding no plugs at Orange Corner we moved to Waves Coffee.
Problem with the final seasons, PLUGS ARE HARD TO FIND!! Anyways took us a while but we manage to find plugs at waves so leading to this blog entry :D
Saw the matcha latte was on sale for two dollars, before you know it it is on the bar already :D
however the taste fair fairly disappointing the matcha taste was no where close to rich.
later the afternoon wasn't able to resist my beverage consuming so I ordered another Mocha Latte, yet again! no rich chocolate taste to it.
Unfortunately I would have to say Starbucks has better coffee but Waves has the better environment for studying :D

L'Abbatoir - Nothing short of amazingness
Me and bunch of friend were at this amazing restaurant to celebrate a special occasion! Even though this was the first time we visited the restaurant, we are already blown away by the overall amazingness of the restaurant!
Here is the website link to the amazing restaurant - L'Abbatoir

Roast scallops and potato gnocchi, Steak Diane, Duck breast roasted on the bone, Pan fried, Pacific cod fillet, Halibut with olive and saffron crust, Pork shoulder cooked in milk are listed as the main course.
Duck breast roasted on the bone - Duck breast was roasted to the perfect tenderness, and as a veggie hater myself, I was able manage to finish all the veggies :D yup was THAT good!

Higenki - Hidden in retire home
What a wonderful sunny day! Even though I should really be staying at home to study, but I cannot repress the feeling to GO OUT AND PLAY!!!
So I took a long drive to Burnaby close to Kingsway & Sperling where the restaurant located inside a retirement home. Higenki! This is probably the place to be if you are looking for a janpanese set meal. My personal favourite would be the spicy karage don. If you have a chance you gotta drop by to give it a taste :D

Wings - Sunday Grease Delight
You should be no stranger to watching the game and eat away on your finger tips and devour massive amount of wings.
Wings, they offer special pricing chicken wings on Sunday. They probably have the most different flavours amongst the restaurant/bar who have Chicken Wings as their specialties.
When you visit the place, if you can handle spice and up for a challenge do not miss out on their Bobby Wings. I had a personal experience, I never want to eat it again. WARNING: Do not touch any part of your body after consuming the bobby wing especially not your eyes. I had to finish the entire beverage to make it feel somewhat decent.
Flavour of Recommendation: , bombay pineapple, maui lime,
