I was totally intrigued the first time I heard of frozen hot chocolate. How can it be frozen and hot?! Well.. after trying it out first hand, I conclude that it was a total waste of my $12 (for just a to go cup size)! It was simply a thick powdery super sweet cold chocolate drink! I rather have a glass of chocolate milk ): I later found out that this other place called sugar factory also has frozen hot chocolate on their menu- for just $6-7. If any of my friends insist on trying it in the future, I would take them to this place instead. I wonder what big of a diff it will be.

Not pleased with the thai food. The dishes weren't nearly spicy enough, and there was nothing special about it the dish either. It was like every other thai place but this one was more expensive. I got the pad thai fusion with red sauce. While the presentation was very impressive, the taste was nothing even coming close.

I had to pick up a bunch of things from Smart and Final today and I knew I wouldn't have any other time to stop for lunch so I walked into Papaya Thai to get a Pad Thai to go. It was about 11:45am when I walked in and there isn't a soul around; and even though it's pushing 100 degrees outside, somehow it's even hotter in here, plus somehow humid and musty on top of it. If I was planning to eat in, I would have left right then and there. So I ring the bell they had on the counter (seems having no one up front is common) and a guy comes out and takes my order, the Pad Thai lunch special to go. I go to Smart and Final and by the time I get my stuff loaded up, my lunch is ready and I leave. I didn't pay particular attention to what the lunch special included, but the only thing in the box beside the Pad Thai is a little sickly spring roll that was obviously bought premade frozen and fried off. It was innocuous enough. The pad thai, however, was a different story. For some reason, it was packed in a little tin foil pouch. While I had asked for a 3.5 out of 5 on the heat scale, this was maybe a 2. No lime, no real discernable flavor, not even a pair of chopsticks in the bag. There was a little chicken in there and it was very tender but I suspect it is because of how thinly it is sliced rather than any cooking skill. Most disturbingly, there were these hard, unchewable, inedible pieces of something (egg shell?) throughout. Would never, ever go back. Especially when Beaver Choice, an actual indie joint with some talent, is just on the other side of the center.

I was really disappointed with Kabuki, their appetizer dishes and rolls were not what I thought they would be, and not only that, I found a hair in one of my rolls! Needless to say, I sent back the rolls, and asked for the cheque. I did not want to make a fuss so I paid for what we ate, minus the rolls and left. Will not be returning, as even without the hair incident, the place wasnt a standout.
