Art Institute of Vancouver Lunch


     I was able to go to the Art Institute of Vancouver today to check out the culinary program (amazing by the way I will apply and pray I get in, everyone there seems super nice the instructors are amazing and they try to help you get a job in what you would like to do) while we were there we got a tour of the campus and got to observe the students, my one regret is not observing more and asking more question, damn my shyness! We were able to try some pork taquito's with sour cream and the best guacamole I've ever had.
     This is mint basil pink lemonade with pink sugar around the rim and a lemon for decoration. WOW! was this amazing, super sweet I add but we couldn't get enough of it, I admit to looking like an idiot trying to lick the sugar out of the inside of the glass but I don't care it was so good, I had to savour every drop.
     My entrée was Chinese egg noddle, with a pork sauce, it was ok I wasn't a fan of the pork sauce but the presentation was just so beautiful I had a hard time mixing it as I didn't want to wreck this master piece. There really wasn't much to say about this dish, it was just ok if the sauce was better I would have liked it more.
      I have never had a better dessert, I cannot even begin to describe! Mint whip cream chocolate fudge, berries dipped in white chocolate ganache with oranges and white chocolate disks. every bite was a different explosion of flavour. The fudge with the whipped cream or with the berries or the orange which was my favourite by far! This dessert was truly amazing and from what I've herd the culinary kids don't enjoy the pastry side and are nervous but this was just amazing and I wish I could have told them not to worry because this was just awesome.

     If you live near The Art Institute of Vancouver, I highly recommend going to the second floor bistro, it is fantastic! I did have pork pot stickers for an appetizer however I sadly forgot to photograph it, but they were amazing and if you go get them! It's fairly inexpensive, as my meal came to about $19 + tax. Just keep in mind they are student chefs and our pot stickers got burned and they had to start over so I wouldn't go in expecting  high quality food without mistakes.
