Groceries in walking distance from Sheraton Eau Claire?
thanks Everyone! I will map all these places out.
If I can finish work at a decent time, I'll venture to as many as possible. It'll help me get to know more of my surroundings. The last time that I was there it was pretty much hotel-office-hotel-office.
makan2, I guess I should say almond beverage like Almond Breeze. I have a strange addiction to it.
Groceries in walking distance from Sheraton Eau Claire?
Hi,
Am heading back to Calgary for a work trip in September. Will be there for a week and am wondering if there is a place within a few minutes walking distance from the Sheraton Eau Claire on Barclay Parade SW where I can get some groceries like almond "milk", yogurt, fresh fruit etc. I was on the Eau Claire Market website and I see an Island Foods listed but the website is dead. Is it still there?
how about the worst burgers in T.O?
Hero Burger was probably the biggest burger disappointment I've ever had due to their overhyping of the gourmet factor.
At least if I go to Johnny's I know I'm getting a bargain burger. They aren't trying to be anything more.
Hero was a big, tough, dry patty that scraped me going down and coming out. No amount of condiments can fix that.
Chinese Bakery in TO that sells steamed buns?
There is a supermarket at Alton Towers, McCowan one light south of Steeles, where my folks got the most huge-mongous buns I've ever seen. The ones they got had an egg, meat, were a little sweet. The name of the store is, ?Taiko?.
Haka (Manchurian) style restaurants in the GTA?
The Royal Chinese Seafood Restaurant at Middlefield and McNicoll in Scarborough is very good.
My parents and their friends love it. We are in love with the chili chicken In our opinion, much better than Tangerine).
And they have things that make me think of my Japo and Popo.....stuffed steamed tofu, yam and pork, stuffed bitter melon..........
New Lindt Warehouse Outlet Store!!
Markham and Finch in the SW corner. I haven't been there but know about it because of the large signage, I don't think you could miss it.
Bahn Mi North of Finch?
Hi goodmom8,
Can you post after you've tried it to let us know how it is? I might try to make it there next week and will post my review.
Thanks

Ah! The School......I knew there was something there but my mind kept saying "Magic Wok" and then would go blank.
Remezzo in Scarborough
My not very adventuresome husband used to be addicted to that place but I found the food ok. It wasn't horrible or anything but nothing to make me have "moments". I agree, Restaurant Makeover waiting to happen.

I second Cayne's and HomeOutiftters. But also throw in Golda's Kitchen in Mississauga's Heartland Shopping(Mavis/401) area. They have online shopping if a trip to the west end is not for you.

China Lily Soya Sauce
This thread makes me laugh because I had just recently seen a Shopping Bags episode where they were testing soy sauces and China Lily was one of them but it is not one of the "naturally brewed" sauces. But it actually did quite well being the one favoured for overall cooking. And then, I looked it up and read that the owner had died and his wife closed down the business, causing a shortage, but has since reopened. So maybe that's why you are having trouble. Apparently, it's got the magic MSG in it which could explain the fanaitc/nostalgic devotion to it.

Hi,
In the East Commerce Valley/HWY7 area there are two that may be able to accomodate your party. Not exactly fine dining but mass appeal and decent. Brix Napa Valley and Baton Rouge. Those are the only two I can think of that might meet both requirements of party size and menu options.

Cherry Ice Cream in the York Region?
Chapman's has been the only cherry ice cream that we found in the supermarkets in recent times but we are looking for bordeaux cherry specifically. I did find some in M&M and also Laura Secord in the last couple of days. I do still want to try the Kawartha ice cream, though.
Cherry Ice Cream in the York Region?
Hi,
New to the board. Looked for previous posts on the topic but didn't see any relevant to the York region.
Looking for cherry (I think it's called Bordeaux Cherry or Black Sweet Cherry) in the York region. This is make my mother so happy that I will have scored enough karma points to last a very long time. It's really hard to find now. Need to be located in York region (ie. Markham, Richmond Hill, Stouffivlle, Uxbridge)....actually, even willing to go into Durham a bit.
