Merry Christmas 2008

On every Christmas day, my whole bunch of friends will meet out for our Christmas dinner followed by a Gift Exchange program. This year, everything remains except that we have moved our destination out of downtown area to a more heartland environment!

The change was started by me, because I was the coordinator for this year's Christmas program. Every year the downtown area will be flooded with people and it is really hard to get a reservation at any place. Furthermore, we have 2 little kids and it will definitely be a tough chores for both mums to struggle carrying their babies amongst the crowd.

I had a hard time looking for a dinning place because I wanted a place that has a nice ambience and is really cozy. It was such a blessing when I came across this cafe while on a trip and they were featured on the TV as well. I hurriedly called them up for reservations and was really thrilled when we finally visited them!

The whole cafe is really really comfortable and they have vibrant colors that brighten up your mood. Best of all, the owner - Priscilla is such a gorgeous and friendly lady. The whole cafe brings out a very cheery atmosphere and I'm sure kids and adults will love to stay inside for a long long time and yes, they have a nice and interesting name - With a Pinch of Salt by Kyra.

I think I'll save my words and let the pictures tour you around.


The entrance


Nice windows ;)


The Menu stand


Very colorful environment


Kyra the host with her slogan


Besides the usual dinning area, they have a side corner for games and it's quite spacious


I told you it's spacious!


They have very cute and innovative name cards.
We "grabbed" many many of them :P


I have not tried the cakes but they looked pretty delicious


Turkey Caesar Salad
Nice salad! I love the dressings very much~


One of the Christmas course - Teriyaki Salmon set
Very yummy sauce and the fish was cooked nicely. The potatoes were nice!


One of the Christmas course - Beef Tenderloin set
The beef was tender although the sides were a little dry so it was on the average range


French Caramel Pudding
Very milky and delicious! The choco balls around them were really cripsy!

The whole Christmas menu cost $30 nett. (comes with a Salad, Main course, dessert and a cup of red/white wine). Yes NETT, no GST, no Service Charge! How cool can that be!

Woah! For a café whose slogan is... "It's only a cafe don't take it so seriously" that's some seriously fancy looking plating!! If only there were a cute café like that around BC :(
