Since the last post was getting a bit long, I decided to split the day into two.
After the cafe lunch, we headed to eat some more. (If you haven't noticed already, we do eat quite alot! haha) We decided to try something new again! We went to
Ruelo Patisserie at the Times Square Plaza for some french pastries. I've for the longest time wanted to try some macaroons. I was surprised with how good it tasted, although, baby did say it was a tad expensive for its size. What do you expect though, it is
french.
Here is one of them, the Earl Grey flavored macaroon.
This is the Rose Lychee Raspberry flavored one, this one baby liked more because of its more fruity taste. He has such a sweet tooth.
Here they are together, before we consumed them. You can see the size comparison between the pastries and the hand. I guess it was quite petite for around almost three dollars each.
We brought the pastries with us to the theatre next, the theatre where I called "The One That Looks Like A Spaceship," to watch the infamous "Clash of the Titans" It was surprisingly good, despite how we didn't watch it in 3-D. It was my idea, since I sort've gave up on the whole 3-D movie thing, considering how they don't have an awful lot of stuff flying out at you throughout the movie. Maybe I will reconsider when they further develop the three-dimensional thing.
So for dinner, yes, I am skipping right onto dinner, since we didn't really do much in between except for a car ride from the uppermost of town to almost downtown. Where we decided to go for dinner was Joey at Don Mills. The Don Mills Mall is still relatively new, and I have to admit, is rather refreshing because its a tad different from every other mall around the area. Shopping does get a bit redundant when every mall looks the same. So back to Joey, it was an absolutely long wait. We were estimated to have to wait
an hour and fourty minutes for a table, and we were starved by that time. However, the atmosphere did keep me busy for a while, and besides, they had complimentary wine and appetizers which I appreciated a lot. They even had a selection between red and white wine. I normally don't drink wine, more of a kool-aid drinker, but I decided to go for a white wine they offered. It was called Fish Hoek, which apparently comes from South America. It was surprisingly good, however, not as good when paired with the spicy flat-bread they offered.
When we were actually seated (which was faster than they estimated, which was around an hour), and we decided we were starved and wanted to go for the quarter chicken and ribs. However, they were all sold out of the rotisserie chicken, so we had to go with just half a rack of ribs, or wait another half an hour for more chicken to be roasted. The ribs however were really good, and came off the bones well.
Here are pictures of us wasting time while we wait for our food.
Me being bored and decided to be the subject of baby's camera.
Baby deciding to be silly as well, he was probably starved and bored.
One of the pages in the liquor book. It was interesting.
We decided to use their suggestion, using their scope-o-matic. =)
It was a long day, but overall, a very satisfying day. Thinking back to it makes me smile.
