Daldongnae *.

P and I visited Daldongnae after hearing many good reviews! 

We got here during prime dinner time and was so lucky to get a seat right away. Very impressed on how clean they keep their tables considering how oily KBBQs can be haha. The OCD in me is very happy with this.



The interior is decorated like Korean olden days - lots of old school cameras, newspaper articles, advertisements and pictures. We were seated at a booth and it was pretty comfortable! I was surprised at the ventilation of the place, it wasn't burning hot like some KBBQ restaurants. Service was excellent. 


* MEAT CHOICES:




BEEF BONELESS SHORT RIBS & BEEF CHUCK FLAP TAIL (4/5)


This was so gooodd!! I loved the kalbi - and it's even better because it's boneless!




* KIMCHI COLD NOODLE SOUP (5/5)

The cold noodle soup was amazingly delicious!! I'd highly recommend this cold noodle soup with your meal if you're ordering something spicy. It was fresh and light. I'd definitely order this again!

Side dishes includes: mashed potato scoop, spicy seaweed, spicy cucumbers, kimchi & spicy salad. We also got a spicy tofu bean paste soup, which I really enjoyed. The KBBQ plate comes with garlic pieces, eggs, corn and cheese. Lettuce also comes on the side. 

I'd definitely return to try other meats on the menu :)

NextDoor Restaurant *.

I saw many posts on instagram of NextDoor's food and decided to come here on a weekday to try their brunch menu... to find out they don't offer brunch menu during weekdays :*(
So tidbit for everyone, come on the weekend if you want to try their brunch!!!

**UPDATE: They serve brunch on weekdays now! :D

We were only able to choose from the lunch menu so I decided on something that's closest to "breakfast" foods. 


* MUSHROOM GRILLED CHEESE (4/5)
(Truffle mushroom duxelle / roasted mushrooms / mozzarella / sundried cherry tomatoes / arugula)

This was yummy!! I really liked the sauce that was cooked with the mushrooms. The salad on the side was also very light and delicious. I'd recommend sharing this sandwich with another person because portions were kind of big. 

Service was excellent. I'd come back to try more items on the menu :)

😻 I was invited to NextDoor's Brunch Menu Launch event😻
I was excited to try out the new (and old) items on the menu! Everything was bite-sized.



😻  It's French Toast on a stick!! Such a cute display :) You can dip this with strawberry sauce, which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - because there's literally no taste if you just eat the toast itself hahaha






😻 ND Caesar - the alcoholic content is not vodka / rum, it's BEER! It's something different, and I liked it because I love Clamato.




😻 This is how they displayed the French Toasts!




😻 I really liked this! 




😻 ND Sliders were too dry for my liking - I wouldn't recommend this if they decide to put this item on the new brunch menu.



😻 The other featured drink: Mimosas! I thought this was too bitter. I only tried the strawberry guava flavour (I had to drive LOL) - but I heard from the others that the mango orange flavour was really yummy.

Alchemy Coffee *.

I visited Alchemy Coffee twice for brunch and loved it! 

The service and food quality were great but it was really hard to find a parking spot, especially during prime brunch/lunch hours. Most people created their own parking spot at the empty lot on the right of the cafe. There were only 5-6 parking spots that were "legitimate", every other spot is reserved for another store at the plaza. This coffee shop is not for large groups!! I'd say 4 people max. It's a boutique-sized shop so it's hard to accommodate for a large group of people.

DRINKS:


* Cappuccino - My boyfriend got the cappuccino, he really liked it until he saw my latte coffee size difference. I guess next time he's sticking with the latte haha. 

* Latte - It's a bigger cup than the cappuccino! I liked it :) Not too bitter and not overly sweet - just the way I like it.

I'd recommend coming here during odd hours or else you'd be expected to wait 30 mins for a seat. Seats are first come first served!

I'd recommend:



* EGGS BENNY - served with house fries and salad (4/5)
(Smoked salmon, portobello mushroom, kale)

Loved this! This is VERY filling - come here for brunch and expect yourself not wanting to eat anything until dinner. The portions are big! It's a good idea to share this with someone (and the other person can order another thing on the menu - try a bit of everything!).




* OPEN FACED OMELETTE - served with house salad (3/5)
(Pan fry shrimp, avocado, cheddar, roasted carrots)


By open faced, it means that the egg isn't covering the ingredients. It looks better for photos haha. The shrimps looked more boiled than pan-fried but it tastes great with the avocados. I'd want to try the braised pork belly next time. This lacked just a tad a bit of flavour.

The Rosé Picnic *.

😻 Happy September 1 Everyone! ðŸ˜»

I'm backlogged for all the foodie posts. 
Rose Picnic occurred in.. July! It was a lot of fun, here's my post about it!

The Rosé Picnic was such a fun event! I've always loved themed parties and this satisfied my liking for pink and girly things.

I enjoyed the food that we purchased at the picnic. We took a lot of nice photos from this event and the pink-nic blankets that we got as part of our admission ticket created a pretty atmosphere :)


😻 Here's us sipping on the Pink Drinks!







* Panini - The bun was very surprisingly crispy and the chicken meat was marinated deliciously




* Burger & fries - Not your average burger! It's not as much of a messy eat in comparison to the panini. 
I'd recommend this to those who don't want to make a big mess while eating haha




* Tacos - My friends ordered this and they said that the tacos were delicious but the portions were too small




* Pink drink - There was alcohol in this drink but you can't really taste it.  My friend and I really enjoyed this!



I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food! Props to Chef Mark McEwan :D We got to take a picture with him too!
