Do you know where I can get the Indian dish Aloo Palak in Winnipeg?

liveoutloudwinnipeg — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 17:25:00 -0500

I’m sorry, I do not. Readers?

This just in from reader the bearsupthere:

Try East India Co. for Aloo Palak, just because it isn’t on the menu, doesn’t mean you couldn’t order it.

It is essentially Palak Paneer, but without the cheese and with potatoes.

Tip: Wolseley Farmers' Market

liveoutloudwinnipeg — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 09:14:56 -0500

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 4-8 PM starting June 19, 2012 - in the courtyard at R.A. Steen Community Centre

“The Wolseley Farmer’s Market is a first-time venture for the area and is set up in conjunction with Jonathan Steven’s Community Supported Agriculture drop-off program. Every week Jonathan will be driving in from the Interlake to drop off fresh produce boxes to his share members. These share members will hopefully make up a large portion of the market attendees as he will have well over 150 shares this season.

The market’s initiation date is set for June 19th and will run well into October, and potentially throughout the fall and winter, depending on interest from the community and from vendors. The market will take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 4-8pm at the R.A. Steen Community Center, outside in the courtyard.

We hope to have a wide variety of vendors and have space for 12 tables. There has been interest from a wide range of local producers and we hope to have a solid base of vendors for produce, meat, honey, and bread. Our priority for the market is to support the local community and therefore we are making local businesses and producers a priority. We are also excited about home-based businesses run by individuals in the area to premier their products at the market.

So far the list of interested vendors include folks who make pottery, glass jewelery, body products, grow produce, grass-fed beef, and make freshly squeezed juices and teas. We are still looking for people who are passionate about baking, and preparing fresh on-the-spot snacks (as well as a host of other goods!).

The final components of the market are vital to making this a successful weekly community event: Workshops and Musicians. We have had lots of enthusiasm from skilled people who are willing to share their talents with the community through a presentation or hands-on skill-shares. This has included bike repair, herbalism, bee-keeping, and fruit drying. We are looking for more!

Lastly, music will be a great way to showcase local Winnipeg talent, while providing a great, relaxed atmosphere at the market! If you are interested, or know of musicians looking for a venue, please pass this information along.

Pop Soda’s owners used to run Tomato Pie Company, my very favourite Italian restaurant in Winnipeg. Though the coffee house is definitely a more casual environment, the Italian is still spectacular! I just took my mom here for Mother’s Day, and you must go have their Pasta al forno with rosé sauce. Delish!

I’ve also been following this gal for a while! Posts frequently, lots of photos, mostly local restaurants.

Rare beef and shrimp pho

I had been wanting soup, and the last time I had some here I had the seafood rice noodle soup. I wanted to try out the pho and see if I liked it just as much. The brother here is great. Not too oily, although the picture may say otherwise. I didn’t get the gross “ughhh, oil in my arteries” kinda tummy ache after that I get from some places, so I was really happy :)

So, I’ve kind of sucked on the posting front lately. It was hard to find the motivation to review Winnipeg restaurants not having eaten at a Winnipeg restaurant for a year. But, look! Here’s a guy that’s just started. And he’s a writer! Gotta be good, right? ;)

winnipeg-fare:

A popular local café in Winnipeg’s trendy Osborne district, Stella’s has grown to be known city wide with seven locations and some of the best baking in town. All of their restaurants on Urbanspoon have received positive reviews and they have just recently opened their newest location inside the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport.

Location: Stella’s Café - 1895 Grant Ave, Winnipeg, MB

Hours: 8am-10pm, Mon-Sun

Mini-Review: Chop

liveoutloudwinnipeg — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:12:25 -0600

1750 Sargent Avenue Winnipeg, MB R3H 0C7
(204) 788-2015

Four friends and I visited Chop for the Dine About menu, and we all loved it! Well-prepared, exemplary casual service, and fantastic value. We sampled five different entrees: prime rib, top sirloin, haddock, beef ribs, and pork chop. All were flavoured well, though the prime rib wasn’t the most beautiful cut I’d ever seen. The ribs were excellent and the pork chop is done with a touch of pink. The red wine reduction for the pork chop and the mashed potatoes were particularly lovely.

Go if you can still get a reservation!

Full review to come.
