Summerilcious Part 2

Here comes my 2nd Summerlicious dinner of 2010.

This time I went to Starfish Oyster Bar & Grill. Located at Adelaide & Church. This is a typical neighbourhood oyster bar, warm, cozy and friendly. Of course, good food too!

D & I ordered fresh oysters as a starter. We are offered to try 4 different kinds of oysters (2 from east coast, 2 from west coast) Although the oysters are not big or "fat", they tasted very fresh and mild. It came with fresh grated horseradish. Very refreshing. We enjoyed it.

For entree, we both ordered grill rainbow trout. To our surprise, it was really good! The fish was fresh, that they grilled the skin crunchy, while maintain the moist within. Omg we both really enjoyed it, and we wanted to have another piece too!

As for the dessert, D ordered strawberry shortcake, while I ordered brownie with nutella ice cream. Nothing too exciting about the dessert. And we did not enjoy it as much as we did for the other 2 dishes.

Overall it's a great experience. We might return some other time and check out their regular menu.

Cheers!

Worst Walmart shopping experience

Omg I just experienced the worst customer service at Walmart!!!!!!

The whole story is, the lady who done paying wants another plastic bag, so she asked the cash to get one, but I was the one who's paying my goodies. So the cash quickly charged onto MY bill and swiped my credit card, as I already gave her my card to pay before the lady asking for another bag.

So I'm like... why do you charge me, I already told you I don't need a bag, its the lady who wants a bag. And she's like... o sorry you have to go to customer service to refund your plastic bag. You know Walmart customer service counter always has a line up for no reason. Then the cash said, you can go talk to the lady (the customer) if you like.

What an attitude! So I go to the head of cash, and comment about this. The head of cash said to me, everybody made mistakes, did u EVER not make one? Are you telling me you are a perfect human being?

WTF! So either I have to pay for someone's bag, or spend 30mins to line up for bag charges refund? Its like forced me with no choice?

I'm not going to that Walmart ever again!
I hope Marshalls and Targets are coming soon. Cause right now there is no choice in Canadian market.

Yes I'm upset! :(

Summerlicious is here! Time to enjoy some good food in more affortable price :)
First Summerlicious dinner I went is at Toula at the 38th floor of Westin Harbour Castle Hotel at Harbour Front.
We both ordered lobster tail as appetitzer. As for the entree, we ordered rack of lamb and sirloin. They are both delicious!
The lamb I ordered is medium, it is perfectly done, just as what I wanted. With the pistachio crust, it is perfect with the tender juicy lamb. Yum yum!
As for the sirlion, it is also welly made. Juicy, tender and not dried. Excellent!
Food is perfect. Just that the restaurant is pretty outdated, I feel like I was seated in a 70s or early 80s setting. Old golden ceiling O.O. Btw I always thought the restaurant will rotate, but it doesn't when I was there. Maybe the rotation is just a rumor?
Enjoy the yummy pics!
More to come. Stay tuned!

Efforts

Results.... are to show how much efforts one put into tasks.
If one chooses to take it easy and slacks off on the tasks one's in, that person might lose some parts in achieving the goal.
Never take anything for granted.
Always appreciate what you have, and any moments of it.

I cannot believe these protest happens so close to where I work. Less than half a block! OMG I cannot imagine if this happens yesterday. I prolly will freak out, nervous, heart attack and start crying.
