Restaurant #30 Pink Sushi January 27th 2012

Well, we were all set on celebrating the 30th restaurant by going to Windjammer, a "snooty" restaurant at the Delta downtown. When someone finally called to make a reservation (Thank you Erick), it turns out that the restaurant was booked for the evening, so we wouldn't be able to go. Since some of us had prior engagements over the next few Fridays, the Windjammer would get pushed back to the end of February. Instead of it being restaurant 33 or 34 on the list, we decided that we'd wait until we reached a round number, say 40 or 50, and we'd just keep going on with the challenge as there are still quite a few restaurants that we didn't visit yet. All this brings us to this week's restaurant... Pink Sushi.

There was Stephan, Stephane, Darren and I. The food was good. I had this huge bowl of Udon noodles that also came with shrimp tempura.. it was huge and delicious if you like Udon noodles (which turns out that it seems that I was the only one at our table that did - sidenote, if you're ever in Waikiki, there is a delicious Udon noodle eat-in/Take-out, Marukame Udon, absolutely delicious!). The Stephan(e)'s got the Teriyaki (chicken and scallop) and Darren got the Kam Pung Ki.

After eating, we got to take our picture with the sushi chefs, and outside, even though you can't quite see our feet, Darren was jumping in the picture, and to show our support, Stephan and I both lifted one of our legs :)

 

 

Restaurant #29 Big Stop January 20th 2012

I thought I'd decide where we're going this week. And it's the Big Stop in Salisbury. Qui m'aime me suive!

We went to Salisbury to the Big Stop, driving in the after-storm, there were 2 cars in the ditch! The things we do for these suppers.. There was Stephan, Erick, Stephane, Darren and me. The food was what I've come to expect and enjoy. We got to sit on the trucker side because we turned down the section with all the little babies in it. Also, in Darren's picture, I'd like to point out that he's enjoying a little bit of toast with his peanut butter. Finally, we didn't take a picture with the Irving sign, but with the Silver Fox out front by the road. I think it makes for a nicer picture.

Restaurant #28 Calactus January 13th 2012

We (me, Darren, Stephane and Stephan) went to Calactus.The food was good. Stephan offered Darren 50$ to eat 6 bowls of Minestrone soup (and the bread), but he turned him down. Darren had the special (lasagna), I had the burger and Stephan and Stephane had the Calactus Club.

And not like I actually counted or anything, but for those keeping track, I was at 15 restaurants so far.. so I'm happy enough with my attendance, but I don't know where I stand as compared to everyone else though..

Restaurant #27 Tide and Boar January 6th 2012

The group went to a (relatively) new restaurant downtown, Tide and Boar. There was Stephan, Pierre, Stephane, Darren and Carine. It's in the old Cosmo complex. I was there once before, and I quite enjoyed the food, except that they had a boar pasta dish on their menu, but when I ordered it, they don't get that cut of boar anymore, so they don't make it, which was pretty disappointing. I'm hoping that it changed when everyone went.

Restaurant #26 Steve's December 29th 2011

Report from Darren:

Pierre and Stephan and breakfi, and I had the fish and chips (followed by a date square).  And despite their popularity, no one had a milk shake. (Dec. 30th, 2011)

Restaurant #25 Fox and Hound December 16th 2011

Darren, Stéphane, Stéphan and Pierre went to the Fox and Hound in Riverview. They forgot a camera, so they kindly drew pictures so we'd have a memory of the event.

The first picture is Stéphane's, of his prime rib "au jus"

 The second picture is Stéphan's, of the group in front of the restaurant. I like how 3 people seem excited with their arms in the air, and the other person is the downer, I'm just wondering who's who in the picture?

 This picture is Darren's.

This picture is Pierre's. (I added the black border on the picture)
