Restaurant Review - Milestones Grill and Bar (Fairview)

3.75/5

As some of you may remember, Shelley and I went to Anton's Pasta Bar (Clickable) because she won a gift-card. It was natural that I would bring her to Milestones as a return favor. :)

We have been to the Milestones Downtown quite a few times, but have never been to this location. This location is right beside Whole Foods. It is upstairs and huge inside and I appreciated the decor. 

Brunch at Milestones included: 

 Crispy chicken burger Which I thought was delicious. It was slightly spicy as well which was nice. I thought the bun was too soft and buttery though; I like a hearty bun. The fries were good as well. The avocado was a nice touch. 

Ganache Torte 

I would give this a D. It was a little bit too sweet and my god was it tiny. The Caramel sauce, although house made, tasted unmemorable. Next time, I'm definitely, definitely getting the cookie. 

Overall, the entree was very good but the dessert was sad. The decor was good and the server was great!

Food Review - Annie's Mac and Cheese

5/5

After I learnt that Kraft Dinner can not legally be named Kraft Mac and Cheese in Canada because they don't have enough cheese content in it to be considered Mac and Cheese. I started looking for alternatives. 

I saw this in one of John Green's vlogs and it looked like a good idea, so I went ahead and bought it from Walmart (Near Gluten free section). IT'S REALLY GOOD!!!! 

It's cheesy and healthy(what WHAT!). And completely satisfies that Mac and Cheese craving. 

Here, I made it with Kale and some rice milk instead of milk and sprinkled some garlic powder in it. It was extremely satisfying. I also only made half of the box. 

This Annie's Mac and Cheese is completely worth that extra buck or two. I highly recommend you try it out sometime.

Sophie's Cosmic Cafe : Revisited

5/5

So.. This kind of turned into a photography Art Project.

ANYWHO, LET'S MOVE ON TO THE FOOD SHALL WE

Nut Burger. Best Vegetarian burger I have tasted E.V.E.R. It's so good I want to cry on Jesus's shoulder. 

The texture is hea-v-enly and the chutney is perfec-t-o and the fries were finga-lickin-amazing.

Sassy-5? Sounds about right!

As always, we had a marvelous time.

Cafe Review - Starbucks Tuscany Village

4.5/5

During my more studious days, I liked visiting this Starbucks if I'm too lazy to go to 2% Jazz. The Baristas here are all very nice.

Pro-tip: If you are going to stay until you finish your drink, it doesn't hurt to ask for your drink in a mug, or a "For Here Cup". Especially since it's Earth Month and all that.

The pictures shown below is a Iced Caramel Macchiato. I thought the Espresso tasted like a very light cloud, it was.. insubstantial. In addition, although it looked very good, they drizzled some caramel on the outside of the glass so my hand got a bit sticky.

I'd give the drink a 3/5

I have also had the Rooibos Tazo tea, in a white mug. The mug is gorgeous, but the tea tasted quite artificial, I would not recommend it.

My fail proof drink to get at Starbucks is the Iced Passion Tea. Not the lemonade (although this is good too). It's the absolutely best.



Overall, I enjoy this Starbucks because the Baristas are pretty cool people, and it's a good place to study, lots of electric plugs for laptops as well.

Fashion Cravings

This Sweatshirt reminds me a lot of the Japanese Paintings. So gorgeous. Shadow Bloom Knit

(Currently on sale for $34 at www.NastyGal.com )

Loving this army jacket with the pop of colour. Pretty! 

Love at first sight with this Alexander McQueen bag. It is exquisite. The definition of something beautiful in Fashion to me is that you love it before you find out what brand it is. 

Everyone needs an little white dress. This one from Neiman Marcus (On sale for $119) is so cute. Link

Also this Vera Wang (On sale for $138 ) one is very elegant and delicate. 

 What are you craving lately?
