So, the past weekend, I tried something new, so I thought I'd blog about it. I guess people have heard/been to Winterlicious, but I haven't been to it, until Saturday. Now, I've never been one for high end meals or fancy restaurants, but I figured it wouldn't hurt and it'd be nice to try some finer dining for a change. Anyways, this weekend, Flora, Helen, Dave and I went to some fancy shmancy (by my standards) restaurant called Celestin, so here's my attempt to be a food critic.

The duck fois gras appetizer was interesting. I've never had fois gras before, but it was unexpectedly creamy and smoothe. I also learned that ordering fois gras was not PC (politically correct), but I'd never tried it before and wasn't sure when I'd have a chance to try it again, so whatever. Portion size: too small.

The main meal consited of scallops (three to be exact) cooked in some way. I don't know anything about cooking, so I can't really comment on how it was cooked, but I can say that they were delicious. They were really soft, and cooked in some kind of tasty buttery sauce. Portion size: too small.

For dessert, I had some kind of chocolate mousse. It was really light and fluffy, and tasted amazing. Kind of like chocolate whipped cream, sooo good! Portion size: too small.

Anyways, I obviously know nothing about food, and I don't have the food channel, so that's all I got. Overall, I don't even want to think of how much the meal woulda cost if it wasn't a part of Winterlicious, and even though I ate a meal before hand, I was still starving afterwards and had to eat another meal, it was a good experience and I really enjoyed it. It was nice, but I don't think it's something I'd do often, except on Friday, we're going to another Winterlicious restaurant called Ultra. Stay tunned as I critique another restaurant a la Kwa.
