(J) You pay $15 and get a card with many restaurant names on it. You then go around to each booth and get your card checked off and receive food! Some portions were bigger than others. I enjoyed the variety. My favourites were Nando's chicken and the strawberry gelato. They also had coupons for free appetizers and discounts!
(S) $15 is so worth the variety of food you get. I really liked the white brownie from Moxie's, the chowder in bread bowl, and Nando's...wow, the chicken portion was big! And so juicy!

Man Doo Hyang

Appetizer: dumplings/wontons. (J) Haven't had these as an appetizer before. A good warm up for things to come. (S) Complimentary dumplings are always nice.

Deep Fried Dumplings: beef and beef & kimchi. (J) Apparently you have to pre-order these because they sell out really fast. Outside was crispy, and filling was big and meaty. (S) You don't know which ones are spicy; they're mixed together. I had to open them up to see which ones had the red flecks (spicy) and which ones didn't. They (the non-spicy ones) were so good tho!

Noodle Soup: with dumplings. (J) Nice big bowl. I liked the chewy noodles and starchy broth. You only got three dumplings, but they were huge like the fried ones. (S) The noodles were cooked really well. I liked my beef dumplings, yumm!

Tandoori House

Dinner Buffet: samosas, pakoras, naan, chicken matter, peas and cheese, butter chicken, goat curry, sweet carrot, rice pudding, and so on and so forth. (J) There was actually spice in some of the dishes, unlike other buffets that tone everything down. I liked the sweet carrot dessert. (S) I liked the samosas and the fried fish things. Goat curry was good and the beef with spinach curry were yummy! I liked the rice pudding for dessert.

Chocolate: frozen yogurt with Skor bits, almonds and banana.

Taro: frozen yogurt with banana, blueberries and raspberries.

(J) $5 for two small, three topping frozen yogurts thanks to Groupon. The taro tasted good. So many toppings to choose from; I was tempted by Captain Crunch and other breakfast cereals. (S) The chocolate froyo was really good with the Skor bits and the almonds. I really liked the added texture. Bananas are always good! The taro flavour was really nice.

W Burger Bar

Complimentary veggies.

Pure Burger & Yukon Fries (1): beef burger cooked on the grill; topped with mixed greens, tomato, pickles, alfalfa sprouts, and chipotle ketchup on a regular bun.

Pure Burger & Yukon Fries (2): beef burger cooked on the flat top; topped with mixed greens, tomato, ketchup, cranberries and alfalfa sprouts on a whole wheat bun.

(J) $5 for a burger and fries thanks to a WagJag deal. Burgers were big and filling. Fries were fresh and lightly salted. I definitely have to go back and try the bison burger, poutine, onion rings (huge!) and other toppings. (S) You could tell that the meat was fresh and not frozen because it wasn't packed as tightly and the ground meat was falling apart a little bit. This is what I call a thick & juicy burger. Apparently, burgers cooked on the flat top are juicier...agreed, yumm! Definitely will go back to try the lamb burger.
