Percy's Birthday dim sum

Dim sum here is one of the better places in Calgary. The egg tart has a buttery tart shell that us a favorite of my son and the filling is my daughter's favorite. The sesame ball with lotus seed paste is not as good as the ones at Silver Dragon. The "Guai Dui" (stir fried rice noodle abd not hot, should have a steamy char effect); has no "wok hei" and the noodles stick together; would not recommend.

Caesar's Palace Bacchanal Buffet

Vegas is the second runner up for buffet and the lead goes to Macao.  This buffet at the Ceasar's palace is the newest and the most packed buffets in Vegas.  We did not want to wait in line fir an indefinit time so we chose to pay an extra $15 per person to go straight in without lining up.  It was originally $49.99 per person,  which is the norm for buffets.  Inside we had to about 15 -20 minutes to get freshly shucked oysters and hot crab legs.  This place had all you can eat ice cream mochi, macarron, sea salt caramel gelato, made to order crepes, japanese ramen, pho and many more goodies.  If you plan to hit onr buffet then this is thr one.

Szechuan Restaurant

If you come to dine here on a weekend or on a holiday, be prepared to wait 45 minutes to one hour for your; starting timing after you made your order.  This is a place that I have been going to for spicy szechuan foods.  We always order tge usual dishes and we prefer medium spicy.  If you have have not tried szechuan style spicy, look out; not only is it spicy it leaves a numb after taste that gives your taste buds a wake up call.  We had a spicy beef in a chili broth, there is a variety instead of beef, like fish or chicken.  Definitely, invite more friends to join you for dinner, then you can order more items.

Mandarin Oriental on Las Vegas

Always my favorite place to go to. I enjoy their afternoon tea and lunch. My usual for lunch there is the Kobe Beef burger, juicy meat and nice buns. We opted for afternoon tea for this trip and was not disappointed, there were Christmas carol singers. We watched the sun go down on the 23rd floor and sipped tea. I chose the jasmine earl grey and my husband chose the monkey pick. The little sandwiches were not as tasty this time, but I always love the scones with Devonshire cream. For the holidays they included in the desserts an eggnog truffle, that had a kick of rum! As always I am infatuated with macaroons and these were not too sweet and was a beautiful purple!!

Wicked Spoon in Cosmopolitan

I have tried this buffet in the past and was impressed with the selection and presentation. This time around in Vegas we are staying at Cosmopolitan and provided us with daily complimentary breakfast. I always like their eggs Benedict and not to mention the comfortable ambiance. Their dessert choice never change, it is the same for brunch as for dinner; though it is all yummy. Of all of this, i would vote this as the second choice of buffets in Vegas.

Serendipity 3 in Las Vegas

This place is cute, pink and sweet. The food portions are pretty big, I suggest sharing. Then there is more room in the tummy for more desserts. We ordered the Emipre State Onion Ring, Las Vegas Strip Steak Sandwich and ended with the Red Velvet Cake Chocolate sundae. The onions was a bit hard and the flavor was bland. The steak was a bit chewy and the bun was plain Jane. The chocolate sundae had enough sweetness for me , not too sweet, but the Red Velvet Cake was too sweet; over all I am interested in trying mor of their desserts.

Clive Burger

This is a good burger place. After finished eating at this place I didn't smell like the food. The beef in the burger tasted like the beef you get at home, if you were to bbq a burger yourself. The meat was not smashed which was good as well. Compliments to the Clive sauce and fresh cut fries, by far the best fries.

Tropical Delight Noodle Place

This is a Malaysian noodle house in the industrial area in NE. I have never had a bowl of noodles in Calgary that is so hot in temperature, almost burn my Meetongue! There is not much to choose from on the menu and the place seats 45 people. I ordered the Laksa Soup with Lai Fan; this was flavorful and definitely will order again.

Toscana Italian Grill

I thought it would be very salty, surprisingly not. Cheesy just the way I like it.

Coffee, Stuffed French Toast (Bacon and Guyere)

This place was fast. Quality was very good as well. I enjoy the combination of sweet and salty. All ingredients are from local farmers. This diner seats about 20 people. Price is a bit higher but you are getting the better quality ingredients. They serve Fratello coffee, which is not too bad.
A coffee and blanket station is placed outdoors for awaiting patrons.
