Watami Sushi & Sake Bar

I've been to Waterloo's Watami 3 times. My first experience was great. The eel on fried rice with terriyaki sauce was the perfect match. I think they changed the owner or chef so the taste isn't as good as before. Also, the amount of food is ridiculously small. Although they have everything that a bento has, the portions of each dish is a spoonful size. I like Watami's bento better than the one at Mirage @ University Plaza. Their dinner prices are overrated. If I'm going back there again, I would only go for lunch specials. Unless they serve bigger portions again, I don't think I'll be heading back anytime soon

Red Lobster

This is my first time going to Red Lobster! I was quite excited, despite some of the negative reviews out there. My friends and I came here because of the $18 four course meal promotion. The pictures of the food on their website looks absolutely delicious! We went to the Red Lobster location in Kitchener.

New England Clam Chowder

We get to choose soup of the day (bacon potato soup) or new england clam chowder. Well, I chose the clam chowder mainly because of the clams (frugal me). One of my friends opted for the bacon potato soup which I thought tasted better than mine.

Caesar Salad

Unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits

I always wanted to try their famous biscuits that everyone's raving about. I was kind of disappointed, it tasted quite normal to me. I probably got too hyped up with the high expectations. By the end of this 3rd course, I was quite full already.

Garlic-Herb Shrimp and Chicken

My friend ordered the shrimp and chicken option. I tried her shrimp and I thought the shrimps I ordered had a fuller taste.

Grilled Honey BBQ-Shrimp Skewers

I ordered their NEW BBQ-Shrimp skewers. I was afraid that I wouldn't be full since the picture showed only a few shrimp on each skewers. Surprisingly, I had to take a small break to finish the entire meal. The shrimp skewers tasted great, I love the sweetness in the sauce. For side dish, I opted for mashed potatoes. I wished that they had twice baked potato with bacon bits on their menu.Mashed potatoes were alright, weren't too bland or salty. The onion rings were overly greasy that I only ate half a ring.

Overall, it was a great experience. The waitress was nice and offered prompt service. The 4 course meal for $18 is definitely a steal. If I'm coming back again, I would like to try their coconut jumbo shrimps.

Waterloo/Pics Update

Here are some pictures I took while I was at Waterloo.

My first stay was at Mengwen's place. This is her room. Very clean and big, I loved it! The price she is paying off is decent too -- only $360/month. Plus it is on bus route lol. Anyways, before we were planning that I should sleep on the sofa outside in the living room. The sofa was really soft and comfy, I wouldn't mind. But she had to stay up and do her math assignment. So I got to sleep in her bed :D We gossiped a little and had our girl's talk. It was fun =)

On my second day, I stayed over at Cleo's. Originally, I was going to stay over at Jennifer's, but she was partying it up with her friends til 4am. I wanted my sleep. That night matthew introduced me to his two friends: Ngyun (I don't know how to spell her name) and Eugene. We were planning to crash Jennifer's friend's birthday bash, but that would be awkward for all of us. We ended up going to the Engineering end of term party. It was so boring..I think most of them were 4th years and they jsut went for the drinks which I cannot take part in. So the party was meaningless to me.

Cleo and I were just randomly chatting and she gave me a mini make-up makeover, lol. Oh yeah, there were a lot of flies at her place which gave met the shivers. I just wanted to throw out a chip bag and knocked the garbage bag a little ..then a family of 20 flies flew out of the bag! Mhm, Cleo made some wings for all of us :)

Water-water-water..LOO-loo-loo! I had an awesome time volunteering at Student Life 101. I met some great people esp. people from my group (Holla @ Pav, Nick, Claudia, and Misfiq!) It was showering a little rain at first, but we ushered inside Fed Hall the rest of the time..so it's all good. I wished I didn't miss the deadline for Science Oweek Leader. Gah, it would've been fun! At the thank-you party, they served us Bomber's pizzas. It was delicious <3
