The food in Waterloo

Yesterday, I had a trip to Waterloo with my friends, and we bought some fruit in the St. Jacob Market, such as grapes and peaches. After shopping in the market, we went to a German restaurant which was located nearby the village of St. Jacob, called The Olde Heidelberg Restaurant.

We arrived there at 4pm, and there were not too much people in there at that time, so we could have a quiet atmosphere for the meal. I took a order as Ribs & Pigtail Combination dinner with Sauerkraut, French fires and Cole Slaw.

About 20min later, the waitress came and passed me the plate with the food, I was shocked because I couldn't image that the portion was so big, and I might not finish all about it.

First of all, I tasted the Cole Slaw, which was a little cold but sweet, and stimulated my appetite. The Sauerkraut also yummy but it tasted sour. I've tried the pigtail soup in my country, but this was the first time to eat the smoked pigtail like this. The pigtail was sooooo tender, not to salty, and it melted in my mouth immediately. It was the different from the style I've tried before. Even though the pork ribs were tender also, I don't like it because it tasted flavorless.

I also tried some of Smoked Pork Hock, I like the smoky from the surface of the pork hock.

I'm really recommend you to go and try the food in there, and I will come again next time and try different food. Moreover, as a reminder, it is best for you to reserve the table or you need to wait for a quite long time.

My introduction

Hello, everyone.

I'm Meixin Yin. I'm the freshman of this blog.

I want to share some cooking experiences and questions while cooking, that why I use this blog. 

I want to be a chef because I like to cook, and I want to cook some delicious food for my family. Be able to cook for the people who you love, it's the most happiness thing I can do.

Now, I'm not doing the job about culinary industry, but before I came to Canada, I worked in a restaurant and I've learnt some cooking skills from the chef.  Although working in the kitchen is not an easy job,  I can get some life skills from the kitchen and that make me be more successful in the future.

I think the mood can be affected by the food, so I hope I'm able to cook a magical food to make people feel happiness. That's my philosophy of cooking.

I'm looking forward to making more new friends and learning how to be a successful chef from my college and my teachers. 

GO! GO! GO!
