Bulgogi

The newly opened Korean/Japanese restaurant in town, the Bulgogi on King St.! Hooray!! A Japanese restaurant in town. Are they offering sashimi? Hmm... Korean food, how about Korean BBQ? I later found out that this restaurant is more like a take-out counter, and they offer sushi for Japanese food, and some Korean dishes. They open for lunch and early supper (or rather, till they run out of food). I've heard some good comments about their food and apparently, the staffs are friendly too.

I probably don't have much luck visiting them on a weekday for supper. I decided to pay a visit for my lunch on Saturday instead. I had the lunch combo ($7.99). Barbeque pork as my main dish and two other side dishes, rice sticks in sweet sauce and stir-fry peppers.

A very generous serving, as shown in the pictures, nicely placed in a styrofoam lunch box. Tastewise, it's great too. It's savoury with yummy spices. However, I'd have enjoyed a Korean BBQ more, and definitely, sashimi for my Japanese fix!!

Arby's

Two sandwiches, curly fries, a turnover, a drink, with three different sauces to choose from: tomato ketchup, BBQ sauce, and horseradish sauce.

Crispy curly fries. The texture & taste is just right!

The signature Arby's Melt. Thin sliced roast beef with tangy cheddar cheese sauce. Yumm...

The Ham Melt. Roasted ham, top with melted Swiss cheese. A simple yet delicious sandwich!

The blueberry turnover with crispy and flaky pastry and sweet icing (find it too sweet though).

Take your pick, for a limited time offer. Hmm... wouldn't it be nice to try them all? Oh well, only if I've a second stomach!

SWeetS

My "hearty" breakfast from the market in Moncton:


The bluerry tart ($2.50) is loaded with fresh blueberries! Crispy tart shell and sweet custard. It's simply irresistable!


The Middle Eastern square ($1.50). The flaky pastry is delicious!

Strawberry Blossom Doughnut

If Dunkin' Donut is part of the American culture, then the Tim Hortons (a.k.a. Tim's) is a must in the Canadian culture, especially for the Maritimers.

I'm fascinated with this brand new creation--Strawberry Blossom Doughnut! It's shaped into a flower with six petals, topped with pink and white sprinkles, and strawberry jam in the middle. As you might have expected, it's rather sweet. Well, you don't get such a treat all the time. Enjoy while you can! It's for limited time only.

Asian Beef Noodle House

A tofu salad dish, with a large serving of vegetables and fried rice vermicelli.

The chicken pho (noodle soup). It tasted great with hoisin sauce and hot sauce :)

The one and only Vietnamese restaurant in Fredericton. It has been around for more than two years now. They serve a few Thai dishes too. It's a great place (or rather, the only) place to get your Vietnamese/Thai fix, but for the serving size and price that you're paying for, you could get way better deals in bigger cities. Thus, I'm too big of a fan of this restaurant. Please don't get me wrong, they offer good service and complimentary chinese tea, but I'd rather spend my budget on restaurants I haven't been in town.

There's a Vietnamese restaurant in the Chinatown of Montreal that I really enjoyed, and certainly looking forward to my next visit.

The Junk Yard

Junk yard? Well, I wish it fills up my yard ;) Typically known as the "junk food", this brings back my *sweet* memories as a little kid. I used to save up my pocket money to purchase these yummy treats (in secret, shhh....)!

(From top left) Tomato-flavoured Twisties, flavourful dried fish fillet, cheesy Cheezels, prawn-flavoured Mi-mi snacks, candy-coated chocolates in the shape of an "8", creamy chocolate sticks, crunchy Apollo chocolate wafers, colourful jellies, chewy "rabbit" candies, "black & white" bubble gums, Cloud 9 and Crispy chocolate bars, as well as assorted candies (lemon candy sticks, Hudson, Hacks etc.)

Proudly presenting to you, my yummies harvested from home! They look tempting, eh? Stop drolling :)

Supper at Diplomat Restaurant

A full order of Chow Hoi Shin ($20.99) served with a bowl of fried rice. Generous serving of lobster meat, scallops, shrimps and vegetables. I shared this with Mom.

Guess what? The famous Diplomat special fried rice! Shrimps, lobster meat, char siew etc. yumm... My recommendation to Dad who liked to try a special dish. $11.99 for a full-order. The serving was so big that Dad can't even finish it and we had to request for a doggy bag.

The Diplomat special fried rice is best served with hot sauce. It's thus far my favourite Chinese dish in Fredericton ;)

Dave had this Chicken Caesar Salad for $10.99. It served with toasted garlic bread. The chicken stripes looked delicious...

I'd certainly recommend the Diplomat Restaurant to anyone in Fredericton who opts for great Chinese/Canadian cuisine.

*Note: I just noticed that they've marked up the price by a dollar or two while updating this blog :(
