Previously on Apt. 14:
We arrived home. The apartment became clean again ^0^
also something is going on with this wall 0_o
Recently I discovered two dining treasures (...or should I say ....pleasures?):
L'Avenue...
Food: The portions are generous and the prices amiable. They have anything from Kobe beef to Salmon salads... the desserts were so enticing but I had to save my stomach for the Chocolatier.
Service: Smiling waiters and waitresses that aren't bad looking at all ;) HAhah ok, uh, that may be personal preference. The menus are funky and reminiscent of 80s comic strips with speech bubbles and everything although they are only in French, no prob, this is Montreal!
Ambience: WoooOOOoo, dark, surreal, retro. With spherical lamps protruding from the walls, multicoloured wall panels and a modern tree display among others, this place is pretty chill, not to mention it has one of the funkiest washrooms I have ever used... niccce. I didn't take too many pictures, I'll just take you there so you can experience it for yourself~ (with me of course! hahah an excuse to eat there again perhaps?)
In general I give it a thumbs up! Although the music is on the loud side (it's electronica) if you go in expecting a vibrant atmosphere it'll be a blast. ^o^
and the Chocolatier Suite 88~

(Although we have yet to try Juliette et Chocolat, they were renovating when we attempted to go there last weekend, so we came here. Splendiferous! The hot chocolate was so rich I couldn't finish it all in one go, so I brought it home and popped it into the fridge. The next day I discovered that it had turned into mousse! Goodness gracious me...it was tasty)
Just on the side, before I leave you
I have recently been walking around my apartment singing songs. . .
and I found this nifty short on Youtube. Here's a little Ewan McGregor for you.. . (disclaimer: I warn you this is not happy shiny...)
wow... that totally helps you sleep at night eh? I hope I didn't add any unnecessary trauma into your daily web-surfing activities!! Gomenasai!
Also, this Saturday, there will be the first K(iki) + K(eum-yeo) potluck of glorious 2008! Those wonderful potlucks where close to 5 dozen university students showcase their culinary talents to please the palates of their peers. You can be sure that I will be hounding the table dining on these irresistible delectables and chatting the night away. Unfortunately Iris cannot make it to this potluck I'll save you some food!!! I promise!!!
At this point I'm going to bed...mmm my warm duvet.
Cheers
