TASTE: 4/5 SERVICE: 3/5 PRICE: $$ I swear, I'm not a greedy pig. But The Greedy Pig, a cozy little nook in Gastown, serves up all things pork and it's amazing. Perfect on a chilly night, their sandwiches filled with hearty helpings of meat is every meat lover's dream. So vegetarians, beware. Unfortunately I was feeling under the weather the entire week and the days that followed, but I do not regret my decision to go and have their pulled pork sandwich. The tangy sauce that slathered the braised pork totally livened up my senses - way better than eating plain bread. Because of my sickness (boo) I couldn't join my friend Mateo in a drink either. They have a selection of $8 creative cocktails and some red and white wines to choose from. It's a really cozy ambiance as well, with vintage booths, wooden high tables and very dim, with the only lights coming from the tiny candles sitting on all the tables. So if you're in the mood for meat, go check out The Greedy pig. Or, if meat is your thing but you're not really feeling it that day, check out their other options like their Mac & Cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, or Root Vegetable Pot Pie.

TASTE: 3/5 SERVICE: 3/5 PRICE: $$$ So I'll be really transparent for a second - the only reason why I wanted to come to Miura Waffle Milk Bar was because I wanted to try their alcoholic bubble tea option. Aside from the adult version of my favourite drink, Miura is well know for their waffles, both sweet and savoury. Having tried sweet Belgian waffles before, I decided to try something new and have one of their "waffle-wiches" as I liked to call them. With Asian inspired mixes such as Bulgogi or wasabi salmon or the Asian nod to chicken and waffles, the waffle-wiches were filling and delicious, filled with fresh veggies and meats and tons of flavour. The bubble tea options are comparable to that of Bubble World or Pearl Fever. The one thing that sets it apart is the bubble tea cocktails - milk tea with Kahlua, strawberry and amaretto, gin and passion fruit - just to name a few. Like other places, it costs $0.50 to add pearls, but it definitely is worth it to try alcoholic bubble tea. The alcohol content is not too overpowering, but it is just enough to make it taste a little more "adult like" than your ordinary bubble teas. Miura Waffle Milk Bar definitely has something that sets itself apart from its counterparts, but at the end of the day, the bubble teas and waffle sandwiches are a little pricey. I think it's more of a novelty thing, so while I did enjoy it, I probably will not return again. |
