Ethiopian Food! (Fassil)

I visited Fassil about a week ago and I had a good experience there.

The food there was unique. The gray bread is sour. You use it as a "spoon" to scoop the food. I ordered the Yebeg Tibs, Yberie Tibs and Doro Tibs. They are pretty good. You can choose between spicy and non spicy.

I didn't know what I should do at first. My friends and I went in, we sat down and the owner came out and greeted us.

He told us to order the "Tibs" for ourselves. But at the same time you should consult other people on the same table because you are sharing the bread and the "side dishes."

So when the food was served, we put all the "tibs" into the "sharing dish" and we use the bread to "scoop" the meat with the sauce. It tastes yummy but I had too much bread in the end and I gave up in the end-- I used spoon to finish my meat! =)

Jumbo Cup

I just went to Jumbo Cup yesterday and I found that their bubble tea is quite good. I ordered a Honey Lemon Green Tea. The pearls are pretty chewy. Try out!

Here's the menu from the store:

View a Website and Get $20!

I just saw this at UBC.

Send an email to jalen@geoadvice.com if you want participate in viewing a website (www.quenchmark.com). They'll pay you $15 by mailing check. If you refer someone and that person completes the survey, you will get $5 more! Which is a total of $20!

It's not bad but the questionnaire is quite long (8 pages) even though the ad says it's only 15 minutes long and it has a lot of procedures that you have to do. I think it's doable if you have at least an hour to spare.

The ad also says they only want 50 viewers so you should fire her an email asap!
