The Works Poutine

This is now the third poutine I have tried at New York Fries. This time I went for something more original, and got The Works, which is just bacon bits, sour cream, cheese and usually green onions but I asked to opt out for that. Really delicious, but everything fatty is delicious!

Braised Beef Poutine

So I had tried the Butter Chicken Poutine as seen in my post before, and so I decided to try the Braised Beef Poutine from New York Fries as well. It’s got a bit of carrots and pieces of beef, and the sauce is similar to gravy. Pretty good, but I would go for the butter chicken instead.

Wicked Sticks

Saw these Wicked Sticks were new on the KFC menu so decided to try them out! This was the Wicked Sticks Snack box. The Wicked Stick is basically spicy chicken on a stick. It’s pretty good, but the picture on the menu looked way better. A great snack, but not totally worth your money.

McRib

Decided to try the McRib sandwich from McDonald’s on break one day at work. I guess I had higher hopes for it, so it wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. The sandwich is actually quite small, and the ribs don’t really taste exactly like ribs. It’s McDonalds though, so I guess I can’t expect much.

La Cuisson

Tiramisu

La Cuisson is a coffee shop located in Richmond. It offers a variety of cold and hot drinks and is famous for their freshly roasted coffee. As you step in the restaurant, the aroma of coffee will surround you and the small coffee shop has an antique feeling to it. Wooden tables and decor gives the shop a unique feeling. They also offer a variety of snacks, like sandwiches and waffles, as well as desserts, including an assortment of daily homemade cakes.

Yavis Club Cheesecake Cafe

White Romance Cheesecake

Green Tea Glacier Cheesecake

Yavis Club is located in Richmond, and offers a variety of cheesecakes and drinks and opens till late night. Their cheesecakes are either New York Style, so baked, like the White Romance, which is really an original flavoured cheesecake, or it is Glacier style. Glacier cheesecakes are basically ice cream mixed in the cheesecake. It gives a icy feeling, almost like an ice cream cake. A great place to get some cheesecake late at night!

Leisure

Japanese Light Cheesecake

Definitely not my first time at Leisure Tea and Coffee, but always a go to place for me. Owned by a Taiwanese family, they offer a variety of bubble tea, sandwiches, Taiwanese snacks, coffee and tea. I especially love the vintage and artsy environment and decor in the store. And don’t think that it is only a hangout place for teens and young adults because it seems to attract much of the older crowd as well. Here, I decided to try their Japanese Light Cheesecake. It is really fluffy but I guess it’s nothing too special. I would recommend trying their ice cream waffle and most of their drinks are also extremely good.

Butter Chicken Poutine

Butter Chicken Poutine

I’m a big fan of poutine, and when I heard that New York Fries came up with a Butter Chicken Poutine, I got really excited! Butter chicken is already good, and now with poutine? I wondered what that tasted. Indeed, it was really fatty, but so delicious! A great twist to the normal poutines out there. I believe they also have a Braised Beef Poutine. Definitely go try these new poutines!
