Five Loaves

This evening we had our first meeting about our blog at Gogo Tea Cafe. We choose Gogo because of the free wifi and we are able to plug in our laptops for power.

Gogo is decorated with a very trendy contemporary interior. They offer decent bubble drinks and snacks.

I recently read in the paper that the owners of La Buca and Parkside have opened up a new restaurant: L’Altro Buca.

La Buca is one of my favourite restaurants. It’s a small place with a friendly staff and really amazing food that is reasonably priced (for a ‘fine dining’ restaurant).

I’ve also heard many great things about Parkside, and always wanted to go try them out.. unfortunately, it looks like I waited too long.

Back in March, the owners opened a new restaurant in place of Parkside at the same location, which will be an extension of La Buca (Italian for ‘The Hole’) called L’Altro Buca (’The Other Hole’).

I can’t wait to try them out and will post a review asap.

Update 07/29/09: Harvey’s is no longer giving out the Gift Burger coupon, and I believe that any coupons you do still have from them will expire on August 2nd. If you still have a coupon, better use it soon!

Harvey’s introduces “The Gift Burger” for their 50th birthday.  Buy any burger and get a free original burger on your next visit.

Promotion expires August 2, 2009

I found it surprising that Purdy’s is offering a new Purdy’s Premium Ice Cream product.  Then again Purdy’s already sells chocolate ice cream bars at Purdy’s stores.

Purdy’s is partnering with Island Farms to create the first ever line of Purdy’s Premium Ice Cream.  The product will be available at select fine supermarkets and grocery stores in BC.  The ice cream will come in the following flavors:  Hedgehog, Sweet Georgia Browns, Mint Meltie, Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate.  The 473 ml tubs of ice cream are available at: Overwaitea Save On Foods, IGA Marketplace, Thrifty’s Foods,  Choices, T&T Supermarket as well as Fairway Market, Country Grocer and Quality Foods on Vancouver Island.

I will be definitely trying this new product from Purdy’s in the near future.  I will write a review on this product once I get my hands on it.
