Me Want FOOD!!

One of the things I love to do is get together with friends at some of Saskatoons restaurants.  Here are some places I've been to:

La Bamba

La Bamba is located on Boychuk and is an authentic Mexican restaurant.  I always order the tostadas with usually a Sol or a Corona to drink.  There is a lot of different items on the menu that are delicious, but I just always know I will be happy eating the tostada.   Every time I go, I find that the servers are always friendly.  Besides the awesome food, the great Mexican atmosphere with the bright walls and the Mexican music that plays in the background makes La Bamba one of my favorite places to eat.

Konga Cafe

I met with a group of friends to enjoy some caribbean food at the Konga Cafe.  The server was very helpful giving me suggestions from the menu and we started the meal off with johnny cakes (a cornmeal flatbread), served with different sauces with various spice levels.  I was happy that the semi-private back room was large enough to fit our large group.  I would love to go back for lunch sometime, as I've heard the soup is amazing.  If you want to check out Konga Cafe, it is located on Avenue H.

Alexanders

I took my mother and son to Alexanders for lunch and my son order some monstrosity of a burger.  I'm not a huge fan of burgers, and I'd rather meet for beer at Alexanders, but I found the sheer size of my son's burger to be astounding:

 El Secondo

I was really excited to hear that Christies Bakery was opening a second location on Broadway.  My friend and I popped in to check things out and decided to grab a latte.  I loved the latte art my friend had, and was so excited to check out my latte art, but alas, it was just an abstract latte blob.  

Ricebowl

I was nervous about organizing a supper at the Ricebowl, as I had never been there before, but the night was definitely a success.  I can't remember what I ordered, but the server was very knowledgeable about all the dishes on the menu and gave some excellent suggestions.  I ended up ordering one of their Korean specialities, and really enjoyed my dish.  I even ended up ordering dessert, which is something I normally don't order at a restaurant.

Keos


I'll always remember the first time I had Pad Thai at Keo's and I'm so happy I live close by now.  Besides the Pad Thai, I enjoy ordering the Panag Curry (peanuty), and the Ginger Beef.  They also have these gluten-free treats that are in the shape of a lotus flower, and I always pick one up for my friend when I go.

 Taj Mahal


I went to the Taj for lunch the other day, and ordered the Butter Chicken.  Although, the menu is quite limited at lunchtime, we all ordered Butter Chicken, which tasted fantastic.  The Naan bread was amazing and I'm not sure how I will adjust to eating Naan bread from the store after I have tasted how good Naan can really be.  I enjoyed the atmosphere and would definitely come back for supper sometime.  The service was quick and the servers were friendly, we even had the cook come out and discuss dietary concerns.
