Szechuan Beef at Garden Bakery

When we had lunch yesterday at Garden Bakery I decided to go with one of my favourite westernized Chinese meals: Szechuan Beef.

A word to describe my meal is: mountain. For $9 I had a huge pile of white steamed rice covered in crispy beef shreds and vegetables. I would have labelled the meal ginger beef, as the sauce had a mild and pleasant ginger taste, while Szechuan beef tends to be spicier. That aside, it was wonderful. The sauce enhanced the rice and there was no way I was going to be able to finish the entire meal. Fortunately, I was eating with someone who has a never-ending appetite, so little went to waste (although I am sure for both of us much of it went to waist).

Lemon Chicken at Garden Bakery

I tried food other than treats at Garden Bakery for the first time yesterday.

The lemon chicken was a large potion, cut up with covered in a lemon sauce that was not too sweet. The chicken was a little on the chewy side and overcooked in some spots, but overall it was crispy and delicious. This was not my main meal, but I was happy to enjoy a couple of pieces.
