Last night we took the kids out. We usually reserve dining out for Sundays, it’s our family catch up time, as my husband works nights on Fridays and Saturdays. As it was Oscar party time on Sunday, we decided to go out on a Tuesday night instead. The kids had fun trying out the chopsticks, and watching dad eat sushi. The raw fish was a bit much for them. We all liked our meals, although kids meals would have been helpful. In lieu of those we let the kids pick what they wanted and dad took some from each of their plates, as we knew there was no way they would finish an entire adult portion. I think the teriyaki chicken was the favorite, although my son ordered the Ten Don, which is Tempura shrimp and vegetables over rice and sauce, and he really liked that as well. I had the Sukiyaki Beef Don, it was excellent. The kids loved the booth, so not only was it dinner but a fun experience for them.

Edo Japan-Calgary
Alright , so the thing about me is I love Christmas! LOVE. Put up my tree November 1st, listen to Christmas Carols as much as possible, start the Christmas baking in September. One thing I do not love however is a busy mall in December. I will avoid it like the plague. So my husband was surprised yesterday when I said we were going to the mall, not only in December but on the weekend. What was I thinking. Okay, what I was actually thinking was it would be nice to get a new dress for the company Christmas party. After three stores, I was ready to go home. Dress-less. Oh well. We did run into the Sugar Plum Fairy and Nutcracker walking around the mall, so my youngest was thrilled. We also all had a lovely meal at the food court. I love the food court, mostly because everybody leaves happy. Yesterday, I went with one of my all time favorite, Edo Japan. The food was hot and fresh, the service was quick and friendly. Really you can’t ask more than that at any fast food establishment! Beef Sukiyaki, is what I usually order, although I have had the teriyaki chicken quite often as well. Both are delicious! I did notice on this trip that they have kid’s meals, so I will be taking my kids sometime for a Japanese food treat!
Wok Box -Calgary
Happy Thanksgiving Canada! The turkey is almost all set to go in the oven, sweet potatoes are coming up, I am so excited for dinner tonight, but my absolute favorite part of turkey dinner is how wonderful your whole house smells all day long! Yesterday, before turkey day, Chinese food was in order so we made a quick stop at Wok Box before the big Thanksgiving grocery trip! It was so good! I had the Kung Pao Chicken with Spring Rolls on the side, you really must have spring rolls when at a chinese place, this is not an option, well not for me anyways. All the food came hot and fresh, the service was great and the kids were happy. All that combined made for a perfect dining out experience which leads me to say, we will be back Wok Box, we will be back indeed!
Golden Bell Saigon & Vietnamese Restaurant- Calgary
It has been such a busy week here in the house, yesterday was our nothing planned day so it was really nice to relax and watch a movie together. Tuesday night was spent on our annual sister’s shopping trip, first with a stop at The Golden Bell restaurant. I am not a huge fan of Vietnamese food, I will eat it, I would just rather go somewhere else. That being said, this restaurant was pretty good. I am a huge fan of won ton soup at Chinese places, and I found a BBQ Pork and Won Ton Soup with Egg Noodles on the menu. It was huge! Definitely a two meal, meal. I took home the leftovers and had them for lunch yesterday, so all in all, it was pretty good.
