I never really thought too much about apples or Ontario specific produce to be exact, but with the COVID-19 lockdown, I realized that our food and necessity supply chain is actually pretty vulnerable since we import so many things. However, we can contribute back to the local economy in Ontario by buying local produce and what better way to start than to try the seasonal varieties of apples in Ontario? For reference, I also ranked the apples compared to other apples of the day with the one I liked the best as #1. (I also compare a lot to red delicious since that's the apple I eat the most).</p><p>Here's a quick overview of the apples highlighted in Longo's flyer (and I bought the majority of my apples there since they had all the varieties mentioned or if I found it on sale somewhere else, I went to other stores such as Walmart, No Frills, Loblaws or Metro depending where the apples were): </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Red Delicious: Sweet, juicy and crisp flavour (not for baking or cooking)</li><li>McIntosh: Sweet and tangy, tart flavour with white juicy flesh (originated from Ontario - very cool!)</li><li>Cortland: Sweet-tart and crisp soft apple with crisp white flesh - cross between Ben David and McIntosh</li><li>Gala: Sweet, juicy and crisp as it is a cross between Golden Delicious and Kidd's Orange Red with a sweet vanilla like flavour and floral aroma</li><li>Empire: Sweet and slightly tart with a juicy balanced flavour - cross between McIntosh and Red Delicious. </li></ul><div>Found at No Frills: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6HGyHs0D1swa8ewRw0ugdsFlc_z5B2oOUCM3ZZePRcefBOx13fuc_P7AW6UbikXYvFMGVwvAnyKdBC3aFzovi8PnN5VKJt2q6I-24U5ITVAaybj7oSXEWSoHelpwQuWM_ADbTok9YV7g/s4032/PXL_20201022_233637118.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I haven't tried caneles before, so I thought this would be a great chance to try them with some of my favourite flavours like raspberry and pistachio. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I really liked the pistachio canele especially the pistachio paste on the top with all the nuts. I wasn't able to immediately eat them (which is when they're supposed to be the best), but I got to try a little bit of the custard-y middle and the crust was pretty thick and kinda crunchy - however, they were a bit chewier than I expected. Once I reheated it a bit in the microwave, the middle was a lot more custard-y and the outside crust was hard. I also really liked the flavour of the raspberry and the viet coffee had a really strong bold coffee flavour which was nice. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On to the main event here: the <span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Crème Brûlées!

The flavour wasn't as strong when it was cold and the texture is a little weird when it's not hot (I think the hot water helps to melt the grainy texture of the ground taro into a more smooth texture). It was also much more expensive $7.30 for the drink (compared to the Innovation Bar location at Wellesley's $5.80) <font face="inherit">and when I contacted Chatime about it they said: "d<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">ue to COVID, there has been an increasing in demand for our products, and we opened a cloud kitchen uptown to fulfill the orders. With the cloud kitchen, there has been extra costs and therefore resulted in higher prices for the Scarsdale location."</span></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Blue Crystal Coconut (less ice and no sugar)</div>

It looks better for pictures than it tastes. It turns out butterfly pea flower tea is actually kind of bitter, you definitely need a lot more sugar for this drink to taste better. Personally, I don't like super sugary drinks, so I'll skip this in the future. </div>

Taro latte (hot with no sugar)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was REALLY GOOD! I think this is my new go-to drink. It's perfect even unsweetened because the taro is sweet enough by itself and it tastes like a warm soothing milky taro drink - aka AMAZING. It does have a bit of a grainy texture from the taro, but that's how you know you're getting the real taro.</div>

Black Onyx and Royal Blue tea lattes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the Royal Blue tea is supposed to compete with <a href="https://peachgirlblog.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-alley.html" target="_blank">The Alley's Royal No.9 milk tea</a>, unfortunately, it's got a long way to go in my opinion. I probably should have gotten it with more sugar or something so that the flavour is enhanced, but I generally don't like to have super sweet drinks. The Black Onyx was much better. </div>

Hazelnut Cheesecake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is probably my favourite cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. I love hazelnut and they do such an amazing cheesecake. It's just the perfect combination - nutty flavourful hazelnut and chocolate with a crumbly cookie crust and yummy New York style cheesecake. </div>

Mango Key Lime Cheesecake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This sounds like a dream combo since I love mango and key lime, but something about the sweet mango and tart key lime in this cheesecake don't work well for me. I also tried this in <a href="https://peachgirlblog.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-cheesecake-factory-las-vegas.html" target="_blank">Vegas</a>, and I still don't like it. Random thought: I wonder if they ship the cheesecakes from the US for the Toronto store. </div>

It is exactly what they advertise: mushed up taro with milk tea poured in after and haphazardly mixed. I got it unsweetened thinking that the taro would sweeten it naturally, but nope that's not what it tasted like. I'll pass on this in the future.</div>

I've been intrigued by Coco's Sago Taro Milk Tea for a while, but I just haven't had the chance to try it until now. I imagined it would be like the Taro Sago Chinese dessert, but a cold drinkable version. </div>

Unfortunately, I don't know if I killed it with less ice and 30% sugar (or maybe they put more ice and no sugar), but it was a little bland and not that tasty. I loved the sago, but it wasn't enough to save the drink. I also don't know if I'd pay for this again. </div>

The broth was a good level of spicy and was flavourful with savoury elements like the peanuts and sesame as well as pickled vegetables. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In terms of the noodles, the sweet potato noodles were okay since they did absorb some of the flavour, but not as much as I wanted and the noodles were pretty slippery. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The egg noodles were good and absorbed the broth flavour a lot better, especially when they sat in the soup longer - but it also got a lot spicier as it stewed together. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The portion sizes were pretty sizable (and if you eat in person when things open up again, they do give you unlimited noodles), but there wasn't any meat in the street noodles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Overall: Great value for money! $8 for two bowls of noodles with the Ubereats BOGO promotion is a great deal for two super filling and deliciously spicy portions of noodles.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Usually when I pass by this Chatime location, there's always a lineup outside the door (basically because of COVID-19 safety processes and procedures - which I totally understand). So when I was walking by today, I noticed there wasn't a line, so I immediately went into the store only to realize that they were allowing 3 people in at a time for both pickup of orders and for ordering (which is basically chaos for customers). Luckily, there were only two people ahead of me, one person picking up and one person ordering. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Once I finished ordering, they told me to wait outside for about 5 minutes and then come pick up my drink. I walked away for a bit only to return to a ridiculously long line up with no real proper line and just tons of people loitering around outside. With the three person limit inside the store, it took much longer to actually get my drink since some people were just waiting inside the store and people were bypassing the line all the time. After this terrible experience, I'd rather try another Chatime than attempt this one again. </span></div>

Sakura Lychee drink with Chrysanthemum jelly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I ordered the </span><span style="text-align: left;">sakura lychee drink with no sugar and it was really good with more of a lychee flavour than sakura! It was fragrant and sweet, but not too sweet and it was really refreshing especially in the summer heat. I also upgraded my topping to the new Vitasoy chrysanthemum jelly option and I was so glad I did that because they gave me a ton of jelly (basically half the cup) and it was really tasty which was really yummy and filled up half the cup. I would love if this drink became part of their permanent menu - it's so good!</span></div>

Jasmine Green Milk tea with tapioca (unsweetened)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The milk tea is pretty good unsweetened and has a nice flavour. It's still a little disorienting to have jasmine tea with milk (considering the years of drinking plain jasmine tea with dim sum), but it's delicious all the same. The tapioca were super gummy, soggy and chewy - I can't wait until I get proper tapioca in stores. </div>

Taro Chiffon Cake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A taro cake? I had pretty high expectations for this, but unfortunately while it sort of tasted like taro, it wasn't a really strong flavour. The cake also wasn't light and airy like chiffon (it might have been sitting in the case for a few days). I think I'll avoid these cakes unless they're fresh. </div>

Roasted Milk Tea Triple</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get this if you don't like <u>Roasted </u>milk tea! It's a bit of an acquired taste if you're expecting regular bubble tea or milk tea. I wasn't a big fan at first and after drink a bit more, it got a bit better. The one thing I really didn't like in this was the pudding (and it was like 3/4 of the cup), so beware! </div>

A humongous portion! The chicken was yummy - not too dry and crispy on the outside. The sweet and tangy sauce worked well with the chicken and vegetables. I also really liked the fluffy and lightly scented long grained Basmati rice (a nice change from Jasmine rice for me). </div>

It was interesting that the beef shawarma had a slightly more bitter and more watery sauce, but I thought it was a good complement to the drier beef and the sauce was a good complement to the beef taste-wise. </div>

Overall: Paramount Fine Foods is definitely doing something right! The food is great, portions are huge and appropriately priced (so you get great value for money). It does get boiling hot in the inside of the restaurant (especially in the summer), so it's a good thing that the service is fast (eat and go!).</div>

Baked Pork Chop with Cream and Tomato sauce on Fried Rice with HK Milk Tea</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I didn't even realize I got the same thing that I ordered almost exactly two years ago - I guess I'm more of a creature of habit than I thought. The pork chops were still huge! I also figured out that the sauces individually aren't the best, but together the mix of the sauces works pretty well with the tomato adding a slightly stronger flavour to the lighter cream sauce and the combined sauces makes the fried rice taste better. So in the future - order this with fried rice not spaghetti. </span></div>

I love Chinese Afternoon Tea. It's great on weekends - especially if you grab dim sum early in the morning and skip lunch, then you're usually starving by 2:30pm which is when afternoon tea specials kick in! It's that perfect time between lunch and dinner when you can grab food. Some Chinese restaurants serve a special afternoon tea menu, while others serve the same dishes at dinner but at a discounted price as an afternoon tea special.</div>

Hainan Chicken with rice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is probably the most popular dish on the menu at Phoenix Restaurant. They're well known for their Hai nan Chicken with rice. The chicken is super tender and juicy - the best part is that there are no bones! My second favourite part of the plate is the rice (which is amazing). It's really fragrant and you can tell that it was steamed with chicken oil. </div>

Yunnan fish and tofu with rice noodles (mi xian)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like Yunnan rice noodles. The noodles are soft, thin and tasty and with the clear and simple broth - it's yummy. The fish, tofu and winter melon were great complements to the noodle soup. Even though the fish looked like it was fried, it actually wasn't - instead it was lightly battered and a little soggy which I thought was a great way to cook the fish.</div>

Yunnan preserved vegetables and shredded pork with rice noodles </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whereas the fish and tofu had a simple and clean taste, I thought the preserved vegetables and shredded pork overwhelmed the noodle soup since they were so strongly flavoured. The vegetables added more of a saltiness to the broth which took away from the tastiness of the noodle soup.</div>

Baked pork chop with tomato and cream sauce on spaghetti</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the ketchup sauce was too sweet for my liking and the cream sauce was a like a watered down version of cream of mushroom. I didn't like either of the sauces. However, they did serve us two gigantic pork chops (which was a lot of meat) and it was quite good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall: Phoenix Restaurant serves one of the best Hainan Chicken rice dishes I've ever tried and the accompanying steamed rice is also delicious. However, I found that the quality of the dishes has decreased over the years - it used to be much better. The service was insanely fast though - we were in and out in 40 minutes. </div>

The dill sauce that came with the fish paired really well to help offset the heat from the fried fish. Since the fish were quite tiny, they didn't have a lot of meat, but what they did have was white fleshed and very tasty. It was pretty easy to finish a fish and they also came with naan and lots of sauce and salad (but the salad didn't have dressing - not sure if they forgot).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Website:<a href="https://kandaharkabab.com/" target="_blank"> https://kandaharkabab.com/</a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>August 2, 2019 @ 45 Overlea Blvd</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cake was a little mushy at the top from the durian puree similar to the texture of durian and I loved the base at the bottom which was crispy and crunchy to add different textures. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj8qlYwjzcsaMdaVOssZ0G809i11GH3X6WJu1rSIECXT5LXM7pFxMLr0PdeXs8VTwx3chyELl63FBbU7fNv08ThGsuCVoQFKqfocwids7oKsVFOqxacVvhWrGQScSRPoX2rOFNDc71hdM/s1600/20200531_151411.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj8qlYwjzcsaMdaVOssZ0G809i11GH3X6WJu1rSIECXT5LXM7pFxMLr0PdeXs8VTwx3chyELl63FBbU7fNv08ThGsuCVoQFKqfocwids7oKsVFOqxacVvhWrGQScSRPoX2rOFNDc71hdM/s320/20200531_151411.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3:15 Cake with Hong Kong milk tea, Vietnamese Coffee and Ovaltine $6.50</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Vietnamese coffee flavour was strongest in this cake and it worked well paired with the milk tea mousse.

Super cute macarons - Pistachio, Hong Kong Milk Tea and Mango flavours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The macaron feet (cookies) were super crumbly and the filling inside the macarons wasn't really outstanding. I think my favourite of these was the Hong Kong Milk tea, but I probably wouldn't be back for their macarons. </div>

However, due to the pandemic, they were offering these lunch boxes with meat, rice and a salad. The share tare yaki, which was a thinly sliced beef with delicious tasty seasoning and coated with a sweet teriyaki sauce, was delicious!! The beef and sauce also soaked into the sticky rice beneath and it was all so tasty together! The side salad was also really well done with cabbage and carrots and a yummy<span style="text-align: left;"> sesame dressing that gave it a mayo and nutty flavour with a hint of horseraddish too. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a good Ubereats BOGO deal!
