love souvlaki
BEST DAILY FOOD idea PICK - bar none!!

molson pint
Souvlaki wrap - Lamb, chicken or
beef - our Top favourite daily lunch
pick (along with Italian or real style Octoberfest sausage on a bun - alternatingly between great sausage and great Souvlaki)!
the firendly greek on danforth lamb souvlaki
Souvlaki on pita also includes (besides pork) chicken or even lamb (better than a steak most places!) options Mondays are for vacationing seeming at some places (closed mondays) aw
(on danforth avenue near chester subway station)
right next door at christinas in greektown
Happy hour Souvlaki dinner served 5PM-7PM here!!
top pick
wrap deal Lots of great pork (or chicken) and tasty tzatziki sauce, lovely fresh tomato Onion plus they even throw in french fries for you for free seeming I'd say!! Best service experience was found here in all the places as such I tried, (Christinas on danforth taking top spot with kind service from Herald) also a young greek woman at aristos sure too has her heart into her profession in what is our hospitality and service industry as relates to the vital needs for such best food as souvlaki remains forever more - check out their website too: click here by the way, Souvlaki should be served with moist, fresh prepared tender tasting fire grilled meat, plus generous on tzatziki as we found it to be here plus at similarly popular spots such as (greek family owned) golden diner and Frankies on Queen street west, across from CAMH plus The friendly greek on the danforth.

Souvlaki Express
Souvlaki express used to have great souvlaki always at their old queen st location, now insist the meat be prepared just as tender as before

fresh sliced tomato and white onion slice cuts
with tasty tzatziki sauce and tender meat
favourite food
more below: ideas for all bars and diner/fine restaurants equally
The Greek owned "Golden diner" at Jarvis/Carlton has
great (under $20 dinner) Lamb Souvlaki - tastes like
enjoying a steak! (cooked over a fire grill) Also molson Canadian beer is a reasonably priced just $5 add-on - nothing beats smirnoff if you arent killin time at a bar and just maybe having a couple beers instead there.

Krystos is now "Freddy's greek" 148 sumach (near distillery district) great lamb souvlaki dinner (approx $20) meat is marinated to be tender when fresh served!! insist on it being grilled (mideastern owned - friendly staff) krystos
$15.99 souvlaki lunch special, weekdays at "freddy the greek" near King and river - nice place for private party



jimmy jimmy souvlaki Jimmy the greek franchise at brookfield place on yonge st downtown food court apparently only boils the chicken served in their $9.24 (plus tax) souvlaki wraps so not worth it for taste here.

Some Pubs we've seen around have a beautiful selection of the best songs picked
for jukebox playing with a modern machine that offers a huge number of such great
songs from the 70s (bee gees, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Yvonne Elliman, and tons
more) and with the best songs from Van Morrison ("Someone like you" / "Have I told
you lately") Christopher Cross (Arthurs theme, Ride like the wind), Leann rimes, ("Cant
fight the moonlight" - discounted price, plus "Wasted days and wasted nights") Jackie
Evancho, Andy Gibb (even played a George strait song - "Amarillo by mornin!" - nice
country selections equally!) You might even blow a twenty on a jukebox in that case,
and not live to regret it as it gives a shot in the arm our planet hasn't had for just too
bloody long now I say - time to end the abuse with bullshit so-called music we are
subjected to in a bid to make for stupid applied ideations of so-called "equality" in
such regard as human sanity of actual objective merit historically speaking
as applied to music tastes and what have you - for gods sakes I submit with care!
Jackie Evancho's best song performances of traditional great songs were included in
what we found around, - except my most favourite "imaginer" - although not a song
as well known here - check it out at my music appreciation and download site here:

d/t sausage cart king-bay


sausage cart - Bell trinity square

daily sauasge lunch fer shure!!

Sausage vendor located additionally directly across from the rogers
flagship downtown store at the atrium on bay (next to eaton centre)
d/t sausage cart dundas-yonge

great sausage deal here - best lunch thrill!!

soda pop here just $1.25

friendly turkish chap who seemed maybe from Ukraine too
is sometimes serving at the sausage cart on front street (at bay)

Seemingly keeping with some weird idea of a s0-called "Just society"
idea coined by his father - the former PM Pierre trudeau, young Justin
Trudeau seems hell bent on dope joints replacing all former starbucks
locations perhaps, while saying NO to a single bottle of molsons Canadian
beer or johnnys mini 200ml sherry at your more favourite sausage vendor
stand. now how much sanity is there in that either I say of this trudeau era
regime
Beer store
My favourite drink pick here is johnny bootlegger grape
(sherry style $2.75/bottle  offering 11.8
% alc content)
Love molson's beer - ice cold!! (wherever there's an Irish
pub suitably staffed with a friendly waitress who knows
our own such music and isn't shy to have it heard on the
jukebox etc)

Molson coldshots 6
% Labatts Bush bullet 7%7%


John Molson is proudly a Montreal founded

company older than Canada itself - (1786) yay!


Bush bullet brewed in canada by:
John Labatts (founded in 1847 here in London ONtario)

$5 ttl (4pk price) at select supermarkets (metro
On front street open late) and LCBO ($10 for 8pk
at The Beer Stores in town) Beer stores have stock
on 4 can packs of Busch Bullet, its a better taste!!
nicest location is on mill st near distillery area

Should be sold in singles or by the pack anywhere
a person of legal driving age might be able to do
so. refreshment stands including movie theaters
and parks and street cart vendors plus every
convenience store. dope joints should be outlawed
still and remain so instead.

best beer choices if you dont see any alternative
picks around such as a lovely bottle of smirnof ice
(cooler) or port/sherry fortified or shiraz
flavour wine

taco tuesday       toppings
The beef is curry-like tasty when served fresh
and prepared in sauce. if sits too long tastes
not as good - dry looking. Plus outside of
tuesday, you have to pay for two at a time
for approx $9 combined with no option to
mix and mtch between beef and chicken choices
etc. best taste remains at taco bell consistently.


fish and chips around leslieville tasty fish pieces at marcheleos
Marche leo's on front st east sometimes has tasty breaded fish on buffet
- quite inexpensive compared to "reliable fish and chips" (founded 1930) for instance
The Scotland yard pub (on the esplanade downtown still gets top pick vote on this
one addiionally for the best under $20 "english style" fish and chips taste treat)

Souvlaki_Xpress burger
Just recently had the home made quality burger hare
at souvlaki express - never had a better burger - plus

big smoke burger loc moosehead tallcan

Best burger chain offerings are here at

rotisserie
Check your supermarket location for rotisserie chicken
offerings in various flavours too - such as "jerk", regular BBQ
tandoori, peri peri (presidents choice from loblaws) and more!


lemon merengue

loblaws shrimp
cost based on weight at self serve bar



smirnof
The best tasting drink wherever liquor is to be found
to be had - smirnoff - I even then prefer port wine if
available though! (Plus molson beer in pint draft size)

best limonata
available by the whole case too on
amazon.com - cheap to get stocked
up on now for parties etc!!


great cheesecake idea open 24hrs(tax incl)
Rabba's sherbourne ave location on front
street. Other variations (cherry version, chocolate
swirl etc just a tad bit more, $2.99 plus tax)



A favourite meal gathering idea for all lovers
of sausage meats as (staple) basic food culturally!
best ideas!!

and why not souvlaki too, equally we say!!




bbq chicken
BBQ chicken beats greasy salty fried chicken
(use tasty sauce/ bbq paste)


Family treat take-out available cheap at select supermarkets-
shop around to see whos got the best BBQ taste and reasonable price

food basics rotisserie chicken

metro bakery daily croissants offerings




add bbq sauce to meats as an option
Nice way to add flavour to plain meats - bbq sauce!!



seasoned appropriately for taste, adding some
cilantro etc in too, "shish/seekh kababs" (beef skewers)
have made it into western (bbq idea) recipe books
equally it would appear) yum! (sliced spanish onion
and firm, yet ripe, red tomato slices too on the side)
plus hot sauce! (tabasco etc)

great idea - steak bites with garlic sauce
Lovely idea for tender steak bites in garlic
sauce as an appetizer or main course with
a side perhaps such as pasta or potato


youtube video (video above)

Delicious chicken curry expertly made


indian paratha   naan deal



   


Western dish alternatives to "curry" do abound deliciously!!

Hungarian Goulash is a popular western standard which replaces curry as a mainstay on menus
more extant around restaurants in europe, but not yet sufficiently so around toronto and
related areas - beef skewers with light seasonings re a great meal idea plus hearty beef chili too

Comedian Mr. John Pinette decries salt levels in KFC style
chicken offerings

bbq or jerk flavouring offerings
bbq chicken!!

pork belly - yay - enjoy!!
Delicious porkbelly slices (side bacon similarly etc)

Comedian John Pinette - Salad aint no food!

nice salad ideas include lots of fresh tomato, white
onions cucumber and even greek cheese


peppers salad
a side offering of sauteed sweet peppers perks up
almost any food in the main

cucumber salad
Cucumber with onion and just ripened tomato!! yeah!!


sauteed mushrooms
Sauteed mushrooms on the side anyone?



(bacon or bacon crumble style of bacon if offered here
too - is a nice pick of topping too)


You'll find Pizza this good only likely at Pizza Nova
(Broadview/Queen), maybe also check out pizzaville
too - don't let pizza nova ruin your perfect pizza
by overcooking as the chain owner likes his own idea
of "well done" when clearly it comes out overcooked
I found when I hadn't even requested the longer cooked
style - just normal cooked to perfection is the way to go
at pizza nova - unbeatable pizza by the (huge) slice or
whole!! love it even more when the cheese has a real rich
taste to it as I've lucked into at times trying around
such places




The "Roy Public House Pub" has butter chicken curries on
the menu as "east ender" curry. Stick to the mild version
here!
(mouth on fire having tried their "spicy" version years
back) otherwise quite a nice enuf pick on the menu here.

butter chicken
at queen street east at logan avenue (just next door
the td bank branch - atm hours access could improve
- but still the best bank - while Presidents choice is
easily the best services provider in the credit card
arena)




tandoori plate
Need a source for fresh consistently great
tasting (packed with sauce) tender (marinated
even) offering for real success on this one
(tandoori quarter chicken  or tandoori chicken marsala
a-la carte).




fantastic stir-fry idea

tender beef Cooked with oil, pepper slices along with onion all result in
great taste packed in to draw in crowds with




best take-out value in downtown area
of toronto
bourbon street grill eaton centre

Bourbon street grill eaton centre location
Does your shopping centre food court have a "bourbon street grill" outlet
as of yet? why not press for one if not already so. check freshness quality
when traffic is slow (meats not as tender after sitting a while after
being cooked I find) nice tasty spicy food pick options here too


tikka hicken
options include a generous serving of spicy or regular grilled shrimp -
A two meat one veggie along with rice or noodle combo at
Bourbon street grill at Eaton Centre (best taste and value
of any competing such offerings out there) is $12.50 plus tax
(just add bbq sauce as shown to the rice) the food otherwise
has lots of flavour and with nicely done tasty sauce in too
(Bourbon Street Grill - eton centre) Lousiana style cajun
foods along with sweet-sour type offerings from abroad.
A family size container offering of this tasty treat goes
for just a twenty dollar bill (tax included) at gerrard
square food court as an outlet there offers similar menu
items here too.



side bacon idea all "a-round"
by the slice or by the pound - look for the sign with
reasonable price showing wherever it's to be found

Montreal smoked meat, corned beef & pastrami sandwiches (avec dijon)

BEST TOP PICK deli ham CHOICE HERE!!!!! (PC brand)
PC Brand Spiral Ham


The hi-light of my sojourn to the area of Toronto known as "little Italy"
was the discovery of this great western style bar with such nice food as:

Fantastic looking burger and fried potato dish - on my way home I also
went past a familiar looking large church structure of the main Ukrainian
church with this sign posted outside:


$14.69 full combo meal as shown
If you love perogies like a few people I know
or want the taste of ukrainian sausage we
have travelled for these years past, try them
at http://heavenlyperogy.ca or maybe even
drop in and purchase at this church hall.

I never missed "Taste of the danforth"
over some years now (Greek festival
with lotsa reasonably priced tasty
souvlaki - shows generous community

tasty black bean sauce




duck dinner


                                         

brandt kobassa

Kobassa (the real stuff as offered by brands like
"Brandt" plus "Pillers" too) is the best tasting such great
quality sausage meat to be found. Brandt (my fav) also offers
a spicy (powdered chili sprinkled on) version for multicultural
appeal as it were, while both have ham or turkey options for
kobassa - tasting similar yet allowing for non pork preferrers
to enjoy kobassa "equally"!!



Aroma espresso bar offerings:

aroma espresso




shown below is my fav way to see such a breakfast served
- even has gourmet toasted rye bread option and generous
cuts of ham slices (lovely sausage if you prefer - or even bacon)

make it my way



back bacon is a much better way to go over strip bacon
for breakfast sandwich offerings by the way, and ham
should always be an option to replace bacon for a side
offering with breakfast - eggs benedict style is tops!!
Tim's more recently had a mini breakfast sandwich
with back bacon instead. $2.99 Now thats more like it!

wishlist to add to menu

French style eggs benedict servings out there! yah!

mutton rolls$2.25 ea
 mutton rolls            
soft breaded lightly fried mutton rolls As good quality as was
previously offered at "Russi's" on king st. complimentary tamarind
sauce included. This is a truly great item of appetizer appeal or
even a good meal if you have a few (Pick from mutton, chicken, fish
or veggie rolls options offered here)

Although not quite the same size of treat, the "montreal
smoked meat" snack shop next to gerrard square can
cook these up fresh there too if need be or on request
only takes a few minutes in the deep fryer - $1.95 ea
or $5.50 for three with tamarind sauce on request.
Owned by a frenchman from france

A few other spots these are also available (though differently
made somewhat with less potato filling flavouring blended in
include:

Wing machine bar and restaurant on parliament street

Somewhat spicier yet certainly too enjoyable version here:

while they do offer mini samosas here - its not their forte -
stick to these great rolls instead - if you dont mind it spicy

Fantastic quality complete handyman compact tool

Burger and fries presentation suggestion
Many bars tend to offer specials such as a  Burger meal
deal with a drink purchase along with a "Happy hour" drink 
offering daily. I enjoyed even more, recently a grilled jumbo 
(pictured) huge kobassa sausage on a bun plus purchased 
a delicious Smirnoff (with ice) at this bar. red lobster
would be a nice place to go find some tender beef
burgers mainly - why not eh!!

A & W OJ / mama burger
A&W (just $2.80 buddy burger) nice tasting
burger at a nice price. add more for cheese or
added beef patty. Real fresh beef taste with mayo
and carmelized onion toppings included.
Great way to serve coke, orange juice real
lemonade or what have you in a large chilled
mug at reasonable price. that's the way to see it
done folks! meat quality simply superior to mcdonalds
harveys, wendys etc on burgers we tried there.
plus great value overall on these picks at a&w


a&W breakfast
nicer fixturing than macdonalds etc plus far better value and
taste over harveys and wendys burgers too) tasty sausages -
not too oily or salty tasting like so many such ideas around
town

classic breakfast at A&W



A&W special grass fed beef quality
1956 mama burger special a&w chicken burger special
'56 mama" A&W burger along the way

combo A
   combo B


TIM HORTONS FARE
tim-horton-cheese_topped-croissant
Tims has a tasty cheesy topped (or plain)
croissant that tastes like a delicate pastry
all the way through, ask for it (microwave)
heated and buttered. price recently increased
to $2.49 plus tax from the previous $1.69 plus
tax not so long ago still seeming now.

Tims has great offerings still in other nice quality items such
as their fresh baked apple fritter, sour cream (sweet) glazed
donut, boston cream and fruit explosion muffin offerings
all around a reasonable $1.49 plus tax. Best prices in town


tims sausage biscuit breakfast sandwich
(egg-less at this price of course - unless
you also purchase  coffee - special price
combo will then include regular sandwich
with sausage or bacon along with med
std coffee for around $5)



tims great tasting french vanilla capuccino
tims great tasting french vanilla capuccino
its the best coffee idea in town for actual great taste
except for a nice "double sugar double cream iced coffee
which I love best - why not have it available everywhere -
many coffee vending machine operators do have this amazing
flavour available but rarely with adequate enough french
vanilla coffee powder, so tastes poor instead - waste! tim's
version  Beats plain tasting, and even more expensive  coffee
ideas, thats fer shure for me!!


mccafe
McDonalds has everyone beat on the taste of their dark
roast offee special - and its even just a buck (sm) now!!

Mcdonalds sausage mcmuffin value menu price
is a reasonable just $2.79

mcdonalds deals


Tim's previously have offered a great creamy thai soup
(NOT their can version however - skip its taste fer shure)
None of the can soup brands sold are good value anyway,
buy fresh

(fresh made tims thai soup when available / ham sandwich is
great here) some or maybe all Tims franchise / company locations
don't have mustard available at last check, or fresh (spanish)
sliced onions etc tut tut


Tims famous Ham-cheddar sandwich (grilled)

Tims fresh (artisan) ham and cheddar sandwich on
a bun $5.99 plus tax - Comes with ranch suce included
- other sauce picks plus jalapenos available as xtras
unbeatable around this price level!! (ask for it grilled)

tims instant cooked pizza


7-11 Submarine
7-11 does have schneiders quality hot dogs
but insist you buy two to get the deal, they
eve take this crazy approach on pop as do
many mideastern shawarma places in town!
(See the better deals on such food instead here
further below)

frescho subs
Fresco has ready to heat in microwave 8 inch subs
including pizza meat version for just $3.49
everyone should have access to a microwave
at work to bring lunch from home


subway 6in ham
subway six inch black forest ham sub $4.99
(plus tax) only when on special or with coupon.
prefer tims version instead or buy a plain
croissant and a thick slice of ham at your deli
counter enjoy a $5 instant sandwich that way
with tons of meat. 


subway snackwich
plus 20 cents tax on a $4 purchase

its 5
% tax - no tip here usually too

roast beef mini sandwich at tims
Tim's mini roast beef sandwich with cheese



rabba deals
use this idea at any deli counter offering fresh
looking sliced meats cut to order per 100 gms




breakfast sandwich  wedges
Wendys $4 breakfast combo deal
(combo deal on now) wendy's has a tastier such
breakfast sandwich - plus giveaway seeming
pricing special
regularly $4.29 each now $4 for two
sandwiches or a sandwich with best potato wedges or
coffee (plus just 20 cents tax at this $4 tier)

Plus all fast food chains must be legislated to protect the
environment by stopping the B.S. lip service to making real cups
mugs, glasses and plates available as billions of paper products
are filling up our landfills as they just don't "get it" when it comes
to right minded service hospitality in such affairs, however that
should not allow abuse of the planet which is still ours as surviving
human beings you must be aware of as so concerned of course, still.
Plastic or paper bags should be routinely provided whenever it
would be sane to do (without having to first "beg" fer crissakes man!!)
wanna preach on this go to those areas of the planet where billions
of wasted bags potentially are instead somewhat ignored by lefties

music in restaurants and shopping malls, supermarkets etc
must be supremely well picked for good taste such as Richard
clayderman and ray coniff, plus britney spears plus such added
picks as jennifer Lopez even and whitney houston billy ocean and
 lionel richie even. Cut the crap with the shit they are putting
on instead that are "brain dead" and therefore predatory with
sound therapies to "retard the human spirit" which survives in
better idea of "what is good and fair to do" instead for all.

sausage roll


delicious creamy thai soup
Delicious flavour!!

now back at metro
supermarket
lovely flavour
(creamy)
thai chicken soup (western style and quality flavour certainly)
should be offered everywhere as the main soup every time you stop in for lunch or snack or beer etc drink 
$3.99 for reg size
plus 20 cents tax

(also at select
loblaws delis
and longos -
spicy version
here maybe?)
prefer metro taste and longos
generous
chicken


Creamy ham and potato
Should have lotsa ham and smaller matching cuts 
of potato - have the tobasco or similar hot sauce on
the ready for more of a kick to the taste certainly!
creamy ham and potato soup

lobster bisque
Loblaws $3.99 and up lobster bisque offering is now a bit shy
on flavour - but is generous sized an offering and a real 
treat at this price anyway likely. (Lower jarvis st. location)
help yourself to the thai creamy chicken soup fer shure
before they run out each day
 

best food court choice all around
pick!! have a location in your food court
too at various malls and major office
buildings too - why not? Or why not
"asian grill" from Gerrard square
location example - same food ideas -
even better, more generous taste
value


Eaton Centre location plus others







rabba sausagerolls get it fresh made here whenever available as usually is found available here (24 hours)
Metro sausage rolls pick best pick sausage rools (open late 11PM etc - check for location hours/availability)

 





Lets have more such creative style offerings
for breakfast everywhere eh

The only way to cook bacon so it doesn't seem like
dog biscuits it is that your crunching on instead
Bacon has to be cooked SOFT - not crispy or it aint
worth eatin, let alone payin for for crissakes!
done right (completely soft) its delicious stuff!






loblaws offer!!



open holidays
great eggs benedict here too - open on so-called holidays too
now that's so bloody sane an idea for this finally town too!!
(d/t Esplanade location now closed down, open instead
at bell trinity square-  behind eaton centre downtown)
(or head east a few blocks to st lawrence cafe also on the esplanade)



Just under fifteen bucks for a full litre of "Port" (Tawny 84) @LCBO!! my fav!!
If you own a restaurant, best deal on great shiraz red wine glass
offerings are made even more possible by Fronterra from Chile ($17.95 Cdn/ 1.5L)
"Port" is now used for fortified wines specifically from Portugal
as they have the name "Portu" reserved - its simply "fortified wine"
by whatever such name elsewhere made, in either
"Port" (my fav) or Sherry" flavour offerings
An approx ten dollar bottle of 750ml Local made "Port" is simply the best
deal on (fortified wine) alcohol at the liquor store - period!!
(Other Imported Port/Portu brands expensive by comparison here)

Sherry deal
Helluva discovery - mini bottle -
great "Sherry like" taste at an unbeatable
$2.75 price
Check Ontario beer stores or LCBO shelves for stock
(its all the drinks Ive been buyin here for months
- so they may therefore just be sold out - ha ha - just kiddin)
pick up lotsa molsons
or labatts 7% busch bullet (supreme!!)



Metro Deli Octopus salad sample treat  molsons beer - access everwhete sil vous plais!! ta
Delicious octopus salad treat at metro deli on mutual street

"Bourbon Street Grill" Unbeatable for taste and sheer value - amazing 
amounts of food in huge selections including spicy beef, garlic or cajun shrimp, 
Bourbon chicken (specialty here) and lots more with great tasting lotsa sides 
to pick from - all fresh made - around ten bucks for a combo - my fav deal here! 
- check for end-of-day specially pre-made combos too - around seven bucks to go!
maybe Also try the food court at Gerrard Square Mall (near pape) for similar
food but with less taste
duck breast
tasty tender BBQ Duck slices in sauce

naan and
kabab house
(yonge st d/t)
has a "waziri" dinner including tandoori chicken skewer plus a skewer of beef, along with rice, salad
and pita bread
offering. quite
reasonably priced. While turkish kabab skewer dinners
and similar
koobideh Kabab
skewer dinners
at persian
restaurants
do offer some
appeal too
certainly, its
often pricier
and not with
as much taste
and side sauce
as these two
afghan picks noted here above all
other such
picks

 






Persian style "koobideh"


Deliciously fresh made dual beef skewer Turkish kabab dinner plate $20 for complete
 meal as shown - Kismet restaurant (fine dining - lotsa seating for your party or group)
near Broadview on queen st
(uber delivery too)

Turkish dinner
Kismet also has the
best tasting beef
(adana kabab) wrap of
nicest ingridients and
lovely beef quality -
$16.99 including fries
and soda pop (ask for
a glass certainly too)
skip the hot sauce
option, just get a dash
of it on the side.

 roast chicken
Bring a date along for
this too or why not
enjoy with family
and friends too - as
many whole chickens
etc as to feed your
entire group!

Thai curries could offer great tasting curries with even
more menu compatibility with western fare - check around

recently featured at "oriental grill" at gerrard square
(pape & gerrard, halfway between east chinatown and
"little india" - Their daily specials always include the
great "bourbon chicken" combo lunch offerings too

($10) (one of the best food deals on "the planet")
gerrard square food court

gerrard square food court location only - quality at their
related chain location d/t not the same as we found here -
shown below is their spicy beef or shrimp option - plus several
more choice options to select from here (all at $10 for combo
with rice or noodle along with generous meat dish serving)

spicy beef



Also based at the gerrard square food court is
just opened "La sani" grill. $13.95 for a dual kabab
combo as shown (incl rice with green salad
combination) the place has much potential here
no doubt yet comes up short at this time on fresh
taste quality as the beef skewer seemed re-heated
from the night before likely. Oh well, live and learn
personally dont like this choice of salad especially
prefer cole slaw with tons of mayo mixed in for taste
instead, plus the rice could be even better tasting
with naan (buttered and fresh toasted) option too.




on the rocks deal

chicken special

squid lunch special weekdays
(Weekdays only - specify only mild spice level - nice taste!!)

thai island - brookfield place food court

Folks using food delivery services
such as uber, skip the dishes etc
are in fact paying for this service
through possibly higher prices for
portion size,  and directly related
added "service fees" which may be
levied in addition to the actual
amount touted as "delivery fee".
Best deal is always on pick-up
or dine in. Or to use the restaurants
own delivery service as its a cheaper
way usually, despite still costing more
for having delivery than if you could
arrange for pick-up and get the food
home still hot and fresh or re-heat
without severe loss of fresh quality.
its only makes sense that delivery has
to be paid for - just need the real cost
up-front


no-frills and freshco have daily low prices
on "Simply brand" favourite brand quality juices -
lemonade along with "classic tropicana"
(also minute maid brand or Presidents choice)
and orange juice etc - best sugar-free drink

No-frills is best for 2l pop in brand name choices
or generic brand prices. Best selections of pop
available in town are here


My own best pick is the Lurisia flavoured offering
