Tidbits
Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…
A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles. I wanna play!
Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places. 2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.
A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…
An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies. I smell a lawsuit.
Will trade beer for Crumpler bags. Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Food Review: Bhima’s Warung

Bhima’s Warung
262 King Street North
Waterloo, ON
I came across the name of this restaurant on a number of occasions while browsing the net for interesting restaurants in Waterloo. It’s a high-end pan-Asian fusion place, pretty highly rated, but expensive. As such, I’ve never given it much thought as I don’t recall seeing it. Last Thursday, we went to see The Zodiac and this place was suggested for the vegetarian and vegetarian-in-training. So I actually looked up the address. Hmm, at King and University? How come I’ve never seen it before?
This is why:
All these years it sat, between Morty’s and King Tin, and I never knew. I mean, who would have even thought a high-end anything would exist behind that ghetto wood and metal fence.
It looks like this inside:
Really, who would have thought.
Or that everything on their menu costs around $30 to $40. ($20 for the veggie dishes)
I ordered the chicken:
Well specifically, cornish hen stuffed with sticky rice and cashews, in a mild, creamy curry saure, with some veggies. For $28. Sure, the meat was moist and tender, the chicken halves were impressively deboned (well the torso anyways), and the first few bites were very good. But the dish got heavy after the first half. So sure, it was pretty good and filling, but still way too expensive for $30.
Mike ordered the appetizer platter for two for some reason, at $36. I figured at that price, he should have ordered the mahi mahi special, or Australian deer thing at $45. Let’s just say he was none too impressed.
The vegetarian dishes were huge though, so maybe I’ll stick with that if I ever go back there. That’s unlikely though, unless the company is treating or something. The food is interesting and all, but it’s just way too expensive for what you get.

In your 3rd last paragraph, you say “way too expensive for $30” .. you mean, for what you get? Was the dish too large? I find if I try to eat too much, then yeah, the meal doesn’t seem to taste as good as it would otherwise.
I guess I meant it as any type of chicken dish for $30 is rather expensive. The dish was quite filling at least, I was quite stuffed afterwards. Prolly accounted for why the first few bites were great, and slowly got to be a chore to finish at the end.
Oh, and they do the doggy bags in the swan-shaped tinfoil thing. (I saw it in CSI today, and thought I’ll mention it..)
