August 2017 local items

another watermelon failure. It tasted like apple juice.






















Chocolove - ok but the loaf is small and the slices are thick.  The chips taste like BBQ.















Palak paneer in the instant pot.

















More new Oasis drinks.  These ones taste like drinking diluted herbal tea.






















tea time at the Delightfully Different Tea Room in Kingston






















I forgot to take a photo of the scones























And now a dreadful visit to The Vanitea Room on Somerset St.

















Mocktail (grapefruit juice and ??)






















So far so good

















Lower layer: tuna, egg and olive tapenade sandwiches (OK) and a pointless shotglass of lukewarm green pea/dill soup.

Second tier: two savory (onion) scones with onion jam. WTF.

Top layer: slightly stale desserts and....
















this is literally one of the worst things I have ever tried to eat.  It is charcoal panna cotta.  Tastes like sugar and is very gritty and inky black.  After eating here, Joanne and I felt sick. I wasn't even sure if I could drive.  It was that bad.












These eclairs from FoodBasics were kind of tasteless
















In other food news, here is the Kanata location of Mandarin Buffet Chinese restaurant under construction in the food basics parking lot at Kanata Town Centre.
