I want to be a fancy chef.
For my work Christmas party we went to the South Thompson Guest Ranch and had dinner at the restaurant called Madisens. I have never seen such expensive meals in my life. The names sounded expensive... the dishes looked expensive... the food even tasted expensive. The smaller the portion size... the more expensive you can make it! That's the way they work. haha.
Soo.. we got our menus.. they were smaller menus just us... because I didnt know half of the things on the menu anyways it was easier... I would have been there an hour deciding... wait a sec... it took two hours for us to get our entrees hahaha. Soo I dressed a little classy not expecting to be in a super nice restaurant but oh was I surprised.
I started off with a cheap starter...
Crispy Duck Spring Roll with Papaya Chutney and a spicy Vegetable slaw! 14$
A glass of white wine. 12$
Then moved on... ya.. I didnt have white wine... but I wanted some....
The entree I picked was just the most familiar to me...
Medium Rare Beef Tenderloin and Lobster Tail with Jus, Horseradish cream and Lobster Bisque Sauce. a few Asparagus for color. 40$
Two glasses of the always tasty Pepsi Cola... yes.. high class, I know. 2.49$ I had had a ginger beer before the meal soo.. that was my classy drink.
The Dessert... holy monkeys... This whole meal came down to the dessert... I had my eye on this from the beginning of the meal... and knew it would make up for any sort of crispy duck or lobster tail that had gone wrong. Which surprisingly... did not go wrong.
Dark Belgian Chocolate Pate with a Honey Roasted Bosc Pear. 10$
The total before the tip and not including 2 bottles of water 66.49$ (without Alcohol)
Soo I was spoiled... definitely didn't have to pay a cent!
My ratings... out of 10... of all the food I have tasted in my life. I will give you a sample so you know where I am coming from.
10 being tasting amazing, 1 being bad gaging... possible spit up.
McDonald's Double Cheeseburger. 7 1/2
Mothers Homemade Stroganoff 10
Tofu 1
Broccoli 3 1/2
k so this being where I am coming from.
Duck Spring Roll 6... crispy but too spring rolly
Vegi Slaw 4 a little too spicy
Beef Tenderloin 9 1/2
Lobster Tail Jus 2... hate seafood.
Dark Belgian Pate 10 excellant
Honey Roasted Bosc Pear 8... very... cinnaminny
Deliciousness!
