Thai Express to Black Honey Bakery

What a busy week, or busy weeks. All the students know that as it nears the end, things get busier and a bit more hectic. Wasn't able to try a top yelp restaurant, but I will try to continue to constantly update this page more often.

During one of my study breaks I went to go eat at Thai Express which is located in the building next to the library. Trent offers a few food chain restaurants, Subway, Tim Horton's and Thai Express. The options are limited, so it doesn't really open up a wide amount of variety. It's still better than the regular cafe food that is offered though. I prefer to eat outside of school, but you have to make do with what is given.

General Curry "Red"

Upon deciding on what to order, I had chosen this one since I've never heard of a general curry. But upon realization, it's just curry with general tsao chicken pieces or it was just (breaded chicken). The sauce wasn't bad, but it wasn't spicy at all. I had even asked for extra spicy with a look of concern from the staff, but the spice level was there but not as spicy as to what I was looking for. Next time I'll just stick with curry, as the breaded chicken was just soaked and wet.

Next stop was back to downtown Peterborough. There are a few dessert places to try out, Black Honey Bakery. This place was ultra sweet and super delicious. A little disappointed since upon reading reviews there was some lemon tart/cake? that was supposed to be spot on, but thats a seasonal/request dessert. But they had other really good desserts as well. Most of the desserts were cheese cakes, with few cakes, and other sandwiches and drinks.

Chocolate Oblivion

This was spot on. Super moist and rich. It was super sweet as I was downing lots of water. But as a fan of chocolate, it felt like I was a kid in a candy store. A euphoria in my mouth. The ganache was a little harder than what I preferred, but still this was fantastic.

Study hard, eat good food and be happy.

Ashburnham Ale House

Another day, another adventure.

This time I got a chance to check out Ashburnham Ale House. Going down the list of where to eat, it seems exciting on what food I will be able to try next. A tasty restaurant, with creative menu items. I would definitely come back here more often to try other menu items.
I got the menu items off the website, I can't remember if it the menu names changed or not, since it seemed different? But either way I think they'll know and still, give it a go I say.

Kennebec Cone "O" Fries

These fries. These fries were so good. These fries, you can't go wrong. I think the fries were tossed in curry powder seasoning, along with a tasty zesty curry mayo dipping sauce. Drool. These were so good.

Southern Pride Brisket Sandwich

This sandwich was so juicy and tender. The meat just melts in your mouth. Definitely the main part of meal. I could just eat a whole bucket of this pulled beef. It came with a side salad, which helped balance out the hearty sandwich. the vinaigrette helped cut the juicy fattiness of the sandwich.

Henry's Pork Belly Ribs

These ribs were fatty, juicy, and again came with those super tasty fries. The meat was tasty, but I've had better ribs. I would still eat it, but would try other menus before coming back to this item.
The coleslaw that came with it was well I wouldn't even call it a coleslaw. It looks like coleslaw, but all it was, was shredded vegetables dressed in mayo. No other seasoning it seemed like. REALLY BLAND. Everything else was tasty except for their coleslaw.

For sure, add this place to a food destination and order some of those tasty fries.

Hot Belly Mamas

Where to start, where to start.

Exploring Peterborough, whenever someone come's to town, I feel like the first place I always take them is to Hot Belly Mamas. They offer a New Orleans, french creole cajun cuisine experience. 

I have tried several dishes here and most of their meals have been spot on delicious.

For the dishes being tasty, they have generous amounts of sides given. I was initially shocked and excited when they offered 2 sides per dish, but that was it. For the main dishes being tasty, their sides were more of a let down.

BON APPETIT

Started with their bayou boil. (Crawfish)

Actually my first time trying crawfish, and it was quite tasty.

A bountiful portion with a side of couple of breads. There were some potatoes mixed in, but the crawfish was spot on. 

Share the potatoes, keep the crawfish.

Mains: Tortilla Panko Crusted Chicken Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries and jambalaya

Again, the sandwich was spot on. It was awkward with a giant piece of lettuce on the bottom, but boy oh boy is the chicken ever tasty. It also had some slaw in the sandwich. I would definitely order this again.
The jambalaya, tasted bland and wasn't a favourite, and the sweet potato fries are, well it's hard to go bad on fries.

Mains: Kansas City BBQ Ribs

These fall off the bone ribs, hmmmm so tender, and finger lick'n good. These ribs. I mean these ribs. Wow. These are some tasty ribs.
Sides ordered with it were cajun potatoes and house salad. Again salad is what it is, it had a vinaigrette on top, and the potatoes are nothing to cheer about, but the ribs so good.

Starting the Journey

Welcome to My first post.

The reason I'm starting this blog is that whenever people ask me what is good in Peterborough, or anywhere I go, all I come up with is confused look and quickly check online only to usually find a  tripadvisor list of top rated restaurant. I wanted to add more options instead of just tripadvisor, so while in school here, I had decided that I would try more food and help the people decide where they should try, and my Hit's and Misses.
I'll try to try different foods, while on a student budget.

HAPPY EATING!
