It's like a walk down memory lane, when I was young I read all the books about how some little children would set up lemonade stands outside their houses to earn extra cash or do it as part of a school project - and somehow being able to experience this left me warm and fuzzy.
Cheers to a cup of chilled lemonade on a sunny morning. By this time I had already lost track of the days. Not sure what happened which led to the photo below but I think it's quite funny, luckily it's only on my blog, if not these peeps are gonna skin me alive for sure.
So we reached the brunch place and there was a slight queue in front of us. Everyone looks deep in discussion.
I can't remember what this brunch place is called - but they sure pack a good meal! Decorated in retro, it reminded me of a typical American's diner. Their menu was pretty cool - reminded me of those old laser discs before VCDs were born into this world. Oh how can I not forget about the TOILET. Who the hell has neon-fitted toilets??? Pretty cool though.
The EGGS BEN WERE AWESOME. So were the roasted potatoes but they were secondary. Below the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce were sliced capsicums, sauteed mushrooms and caramelised onions. Portions were so huge that by the time I was done with the first egg, I was stuffed!
During the week that we were in Montreal, they were having some International Arts & Design Festival in the city. So after brunch, we followed Pat, Math and a couple of their friends to some of the exhibitions.
One exhibition was about food, glorious food! Yes! A whole table spread of different types of food, fruits and even sauces and spices! So the guy who mended this stall distributed paper plates and disposable chopsticks to us, together with a piece of paper which had different phrases - in french.
Xingyan looking happy with her spoils!
Here's a snapshot of the food I took - decided to opt in for a more healthy option with mostly fruits and unknown sauces. Mine read I am on diet after one week. LOL.
Here's what other people wrote and shared on the wall:
Amidst the many exhibitions happening around us, we got distracted by this yellow skirt hanging from the ceiling. Looking sexy Pat!
Holy moly! Typical Math pose.
Ok, looking a little more normal here at least. Loving the distant look.
Hello hello!
Xinling doing the ballerina post.
Love it how we can just go crazy anywhere, anytime.
Next up, we visited an exhibit called: If yes, then what?
Allisa, together with the cool programmer who could translate virtually anything into a programming function, wrote a poem and the guy actually translated it out AND explained to us step by step too. It was like maths tuition all over again, only thing was that this was way cooler.
Went to the park after to chill because it was so rare for the weather to be sunny and perfect. Azure blue. Spotted a couple of boys playing table tennis.
Hello blue skies!
Don't really know what Allisa was doing but I like this shot! Xiu & Xling are super cute here.
Pat's friends brought two ping-pong rackets with the intention to play. But the courts were full so we improvised.
Had dinner at a polish place - the pieriogis were DELICIOUS. Kinda reminded me of chwee kweh, the caramelized onions? I miss this dish.
After dinner we went to visit the oldest church in Montreal which sat on the top of the hill - the night view from the top of the church was beautiful, it was nice to sit atop the stairs, listening to the soft breeze and just taking in the peaceful night view.
Our night didn't end there. After that, we headed to this Izakaya Bar which had SAKE BOMB! Basically similar to Jagerbomb, but substituted with a sake shot and beer. I was apprehensive to drink it at first, but I must say, it was quite a yummy concoction. The restaurant even had a chant for it!
"When I say sake you say bomb" x2
"Sake bomb" x2
"Oh...." *beats table until drinks fall*
CHEERS
Don't be fooled, this is actually one level up - RAINBOW BOMB
Headed to Math's place after to chill and had poutin (their version of supper - fries with everything) - altogether a fun night :D
Still remember Math trying to throw me away in the rubbish bin haha, think he was too gone by then, thank goodness I think Xingy managed to beat him into putting me down. LOL.
