Hue

I believe it's the DV8 restaurant that does this....people eat in the dark, literally, intentionally.

All this love for kolachy makes me think maybe I should give it another chance....I had a poppy seed one quite a while ago....I'm more into sweets than savory..and I wasn't that impressed!

Ling: I have also heard rave reviews for those brownies from Mackinnon's, so I did try it out, but I was quite disappointed! I think it was overpowered by the extremely walnut taste ( this is coming from someone who eats walnuts right out from the bag), and reminded me of a Chinese snack that's made of walnut and dates. Not chocolatey at all! Well, it could be just because my expectations were so high... Now back to your regular programming.

I am constantly asking myself the same question, especially when friends and family from oversea comes to visit, and want to try some authentic Canadian cuisine...And often I am stumped.

After going last year and not finding it impressive at all, our family decided not to go again this year...But those mini donuts...DARN! THEY ARE GOOD!

I absolutely adore NUTS of all kinds!! And I like nuts in all my food: brownies, ice cream, salads, breads, right out of the huge can... Gosh, I can't imagine being allergic to nuts. Must be the worst feeling ever!

Always have horrible experience eating any kind of Oreos.....they just get stuck in my teeth all day! I can't even brush it off!

I don't have anything to add, but I just want to say that this discussion has me salivating... A quick question though, when is the best time, in your mind, to go to a bakery? I assume that it depends on the store, but is there such a time?

A quick question about Gyoza King--what's good besides gyoza?

My family LOVE durians! We used to buy it and wait for it to ripen...Everyday we would look to see if there's a crack...ah, the good old days of childhood! Does rambutan taste like lychee?

Just wondering if it's really "worth it". I mean, I know it's a great chance to have a 3-course meal for $25 at a restaurant that usually serves entrees for about $25, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of choices(within a particular resturant). Beside, does quality suffer?

Any recommendations for brunch buffets that are not in hotels?

I've only tried two kinds, the grape bread, and the herb parmasen foccasia. I absolutely loved the grape bread, but really didn't care for the foccasia, thought it was too salty for my taste and too hard to chew. I guess I'm not a chewy-bread kind of a person then! Having said that, can anyone suggest another kind of bread that I might like? With the texture similar to that of the grape bread?
