Sugar Bowl

Wednesday afternoon, I was just loitering around at my friend; Donna's flat. We went to buy hair styling supplies, I watch her try to clean and pack. She showed her self narrated basement room in Calgary to me, we waited for her landlord to install a working mircowave and biked in the rain and sun to Futureshop and back to fix her computer. After an eventful afternoon we waited for Doris's friend, Audrey to come so we all could go eat!

I wanted a drink so bad because of a bad, bad midterm in computer class, so I suggested Sugar Bowl..hehe, miss that place! The place was packed full of customers!





Our Drinks: My Mojito, and Donna's Long Island Iced Tea (~$7.0)
Donna's (I thought) was kinda gross but she thought it was ok. My mojito was ok as I keep sipping but not as great as the ones from Las Vegas. Sigh*



Our Dishes!! Looks so tasty...can't wait to dig in! =)



Donna's Steak and Frites
She wasn't as pleased or happy as she could be with her plate, her steak was a tad bit over cooked and that cause the steak to be to chewy for her liking. However, glad to say she did finish her plate like the good girl she is..hehe



Doris's Bison Chili and Corn Bread
From past experience I knew the corn bread was to die for, and her comments of the chili was that it was also great. Great combo.



Chicken and Waffles
Audrey and I both were intrigued by the name of this dish: Chicken and Waffles. But I sad to heard that the chicken was not fried, I never got the chance to try that dish in New York, so I wanted to try this version. The chicken instead was pan-fried and it came with this heavenly and surely terribly bad for the heart Maple Butter. It was sinfully good. Our waiters told us that the Maple Butter is made with just maple syrup and butter, and Doris scrapped the dip plate empty because it was just that addicting. Sad to report that the chicken, for me, failed in execution. First I only had three measly pieces and it was a bit dry as it went into the mouth. But a total A+ just for the Maple Butter!







Bread Pudding
We shared dessert: Bread Pudding, but in hindsight should have shared one between the four of us. We could barely finish! The dessert was a combination of banana bread with raisins, it was quite good but too much for dessert. It was quite a large portion.

The Sugar Bowl and Accent (Edmonton)

Had breakfast/lunch Tuesday afternoon with Raeanna, and we headed to the Sugar Bowl. It was the entire opposite atmosphere when we visited last time. In the morning/early afternoon the area was quaint, quiet and a chill area.

Lunch: SugarBowl Corn Bread Benny ($12)

The Corn bread was great, sweet and with real bits of corn! Along with the poach egg and the sauce it was just a great bite. Though I didn't care much for the back bacon. The potatoes was bite size with a great crunch although a bit on the salty side. And I can eat a lot of salt! It was a filler dish though, and both sweet and savory meal for lunch.

Tonight I headed to Whyte Ave with Silu and I wanted to try a new place I never been. So we headed to Accent just beside Chili's. The area was a bit bare since we there at 5:00 pm and that's a tad early for dinner, but it was also very relaxing, quiet, and cool place to hang.

Tenderloin Sandwich ($16)

I had a Beef tenderloin with a slice of warm goat cheese on open-face ciabatta with pan-fried bacon in a garlic cream sauce with salad and roasted potatoes on the side. It was a filling plate and I took my time. Everything on its own was good, and well seasoned.

Sundried Tomato Chicken Breast ($21)

Silu's sundried tomato chicken breast was served with seasonal vegetables and side of pasta. Her chicken was so good and tender I wanted more....hahah....and the sundried tomatoes was amazing good...HAHA. Usually when I read that on anything I think of dry. Her vegetables look colorful and big and her zucchini was carved nicely too bad I didn't take a picture.
