Kitchen 1409


1409 Trans Canada Highway, Bras d'Or

Pssst - please keep this on the down-low so that the owners don't get wind of what people are saying and change what it is that they are doing. Because they are doing everything right. Yes, indeed! In fact, you will need reservations to eat here and even to get take-out, well, you'll have a bit of a wait. It'll be one of the friendliest waits you've had, mind you, but still, word is starting to get out there.

Eating at the 1409 is like eating at home when Mah has had a really good day; when the pantry has everything in it that she needs and it's been delivered to the back door as fresh as can be. The food is delicious, the portions are huge, and the prices can't be beat.

Just look for yourself - a few of the UAG started their meals with tasty selections:

Caesar Salad - received very nice comments.
Nachos with Spicy Sauce - light & crisp & so tasty!
A small bowl of Seafood Chowder - and LOOK at that bun!

And then we moved on to a selection of the main dishes:

Seniors' size of Fish n' Chips with crispy fries and a lovely coleslaw.
Turkey Dinner with gravy on top
or you could get gravy on the side - in a gravy dish!
Fish Cakes n' Beans. Fish cakes were cooked perfectly.
Hot Hamburger Sandwich. Look at the colour of that gravy!
A Cran-wich which is a turkey dinner on a bun, with garden salad.
Salmon Dinner...is your mouth watering yet?
Big bowl of Seafood Chowder and a biscuit. Perfect.

So, after eating a wonderful main meal, with very little room to spare, we decided to end our meals with a sweet. We ordered lots of desserts:

Apple Crisp
Hazelnut Cake
Chocolate Dream Delight
Bread Pudding
Coconut Cream Square
The desserts were as huge and as delicious as the main meals!

Well, you are probably asking yourself "Yes, but how was the tea?"


The tea service was basic, it's true, but we couldn't expect Mah to prepare all of these absolutely delicious meals and then take time to serve us a fancy cup of tea! We were thrilled to sit back with a good cup of tea and rest our tummies before heading out on the drive home.

Thanks Mah! We'll be back.

Italian Buffet, Polish Hall, Whitney Pier, Again

Image
      For the third year in a row, the UAG met up at St. Michael's Polish Hall in the Pier for the Italian buffet, part of the annual celebration entitled "Pierscape." Money raised from the buffet goes to the Whitney Pier Society for the Arts and judging by the number of people at the buffet, it's an excellent fundraiser.       Everything that I wrote last year (see May 2016) applies again this year. We have gained a couple of UAG members in the last few months, so it was their first time attending the buffet. However, they had heard about the selection of Italian dishes and the home-made eclairs! And since it was the same cook, may God continue to bless Kay, the food was delicious once again - our new members were not disappointed. Furthermore, the members of UAG were not quite so shy this year.  When Kay told us that she didn't want to see any food left on the buffet table, several of us filled up plates to take home with us. Imagine, we will each have an Itali

Point of View Beggars' Banquet

15 Commercial Street Extension, Louisbourg For our August outing, a group of ten UAG members headed to the Point of View Suites in Louisbourg for an evening of music, skits and large platters of delicious food. It was a wonderful evening! Thanks to Meg for providing these images: Everyone has to get in to costume before dinner! So much music and laughter! Everyone enjoyed their meal selections. And yes, there was even lobster! This outing was a tremendous success and will definitely be on our To-Do List for 2018!

Governors Pub & Eatery - not.

Governors on the Esplanade, Sydney This month's outing was supposed to be to Governors on the Esplanade - Governors has a wonderful reputation and we were all keen to try the menu. Unfortunately, the person who took our booking did not write it down, despite my giving her all of my personal information, along with the date and time of the booking.  So there was no room for us at the pub - what's a group of food adventurers to do on a busy Friday night in downtown Sydney? A quick phone call was made to Trio Restaurant & Lounge, just a five-minute walk down the Esplanade, where the very efficient Troy the Bartender, assured us that he'd look after us. And he did! He sat us at a lovely table in the lounge where we relaxed, ordered drinks and enjoyed our main entrées. The Special of the evening was Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding and did it ever look wonderful! While we reviewed the dessert menu, our teas arrived...and there is something quite special about tea i
