Kicpops

Hosted an event over the weekend and hired Kicpops for the event.

They are super responsive on communications.  Not to mention, I've requested kid friendly flavors and they delivered.  They do have boozy flavors, so make sure you request the right ones for your guests.

All fruit based are juice, not too sweet.  And I love the fancy flavors like Watermelon Agave, I got the Blackberry Lavender, very fruity.  They also have chocolate sea salt and cookies in cookies n' cream flavors to name a few.

The pricing is reasonable, like I said they are super responsive and communicative.  I contacted Clint to let him know where to park and he called as soon as he arrived.  It all worked out beautifully.  Highly recommend.

You can now order online, or catch them at Rice Village Farmers Markets.  Check their site for updated schedules.

Ruggles' Dessert Cafe

Rumor has it that Ruggles has a new outpost and we have to check that out.

It is at the old Oui's location.

I'm glad they are only doing dessert at this location.

They are having Paleo & Keto options.

And macarons galore.

I got tiramisu tower.  It does taste like the dessert I remembered at Ruggles all outfits.  That said, I think the flavors are good enough that they didn't need to give you raspberry sauce.  I tried it with but it doesn't add anything for me.  I like to stick to the original flavors.

They now have lunch menu as well.  I saw soups, salad, and sandwiches in addition to lattes and desserts.  The nice thing is that this is a nice space, no outside seatings, but parking might be tight but no issues.  And you can go in grab a dessert instead of having to wait at Ruggles Black.  Go check it out.

Shun Kitchen

A dear friend bought dinner the other day.    We decided to pick up from Shun Kitchen.

For starter, we got the Brussel sprouts which is a tad saltier than I'd like but not bad.

Then got pork belly skewers.  They actually gave you a lot more meat than fat each bite.

I got the Ringo roll, totally not what I expected.  Since it's supposed to be apple, they have a very thinly slice apple on top but you can't really taste the flavor. I did like the spicy tuna and the yuzu tobiko flavor on the roll though, can skip the jalapeño.

The last thing I got was just cucumber roll, I've always liked it as a kid.  Just simple flavor and goes down easy.

To call for pickup, they open at 5p and there's no online ordering like the Bento Box has.  So set your clock to call in.

Maine-ly Sandwiches

Was dying for a lobster roll, there's only one place.

Haven't been back to Maine-ly's since they closed the Richmond location.

Happens that they were running a special, lobster roll, soup and extra meat for $26.99.  This doesn't look like a lot, but there is actually a lot of food.  First of all, they really give you tons of meat in the sandwich. It is a butter toasted bun, with mayo tossed with the lobster meat.  I promise you, real nice chunk of lobster meat every bite.  

Then even with the small cup of soup you see there, since it's milk based, that's very filling.  They already give you a little chunk of lobster in the bisque, then they give you that extra little cup of meat.  I know it's supposed to go on the sandwich, I just dropped it into the soup and it was wonderful.  Every bite here has a nice chunk of meat too.  YUM!

Little joy, I tell you.  Little joys.

Pepperoni's

Went back to Pepperoni's for a quick lunch.

Quick and easy, order online and you can have it delivered or picked up.

Judge all you want, I got the Hawaiian.  Canadian bacon, pineapple, tomato sauce and cheese.  Just a 12 inch, perfect as a personal pizza.   For an uncharge, you can make it gluten free.  I think next time, however, I will get it thin crust.  It was a lot of bread for me on this one.  The taste was good, don't get me wrong.  The combo works, but there's too much crust, which is bread bread and more bread.  I think thin crust would've been better.

Beck's Prime Woodlands

One thing about Woodlands is that everything is hidden.  They have everything you want in town, yet you can't see any of them.  So crazy.

I haven't been to Beck's Prime for some time, thought it'd be good to just revisit.  Got a cream soda, love that they still offer that.  And an Ahi Tuna Sandwich.  To me, it's one of the best flavoring from the fish to the feta, the cucumber, onion.  I love all of them and how they all come together.  Definitely a nice treat for my vacation week.  And yes, I did get their awesome milkshake, except a little person took it as his own, so....

Bistro at Woodlands Resort

We went to the Woodlands Resort.  At first I was looking forward to eating at Robard, but then realized they were closed, that was a bit sad. 

Instead, we went to Bistro.  Basically, that is the only sit down on premise.  The other is the Pool side stand.  So, we'll take it to-go.

Got the mushroom ravioli.  Sadly, it's not enough salt or flavoring.  I know there's plenty of flavor for the mushroom, and it looks great.  Got my favorite parmesan.  Yet, the flavors were just not coming together. For that price I'm deeply disappointed.  I want to support the staff, but must we sacrifice the flavor?
