Celine’s Fish & Chips on Granville Island

Celine's Fish and Chips on Urbanspoon

A friend ordered Calamari $11 and Sheepie got a side order of onion rings $4. I don’t remember the last time I had onion rings, but do remember growing up eating these from fast food chains. Ah…the unhealthy teenage diet. But with that over, this was extremely greasy. I couldn’t eat much of the onion rings. I thought the calalmari was decent but the oil and grease fills you up quickly. It also didn’t help that the dining area by the food court is contained by all-glass walls. We were sitting in direct sunlight and we were soon sweating and not really enjoying the food.

Service was really slow and a bit disorganized. The staff was cranky and not at all friendly. Sheepie noticed one staff throw something but it wasn’t at anyone, nor into the garbage. He said it just fell to the floor. I missed all that, so not sure what happened. I personally wouldn’t order anything from here since it’s not my cup of tea, but I don’t mind taking 2 or 3 calamari to enjoy.

Burger King in Steveston

Burger King on Urbanspoon
Sheepie wanted some burgers, so we went to Burger King when we were in Steveston area. The service was fine, but the place was dirty. Sheepie likes Coke Zero so I took the empty cup to fill up, but both machines for Coke Zero was empty while ice was also empty in one of them. The place wasn’t busy or anything, so the staff has ample time to do routine checks and fill up if necessary. (yes, I have worked at Burger King a long time ago!) Though I’m also surprised that no one has notified about the staff. Surely, we can’t be the only ones that wanted Coke Zero.

Anyhow, I ordered the Chicken Burger $1.39. Very affordable. It was crispy and nicely salted.

The toilet was leaking and the handle was broken off. This place is terrible!
Sheepie was disgusted complaining a place like this in Germany would have been shut down.

McDonald’s in Richmond

McDonald's on UrbanspoonWhile lining up to order, I found a coupon flyer and saw a 50% off coupon for their salads $6.99. Yes! I ordered the Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Salad. It’s a good portion and the chicken is really soft and yummy. I only used about an eighth of the salad dressing since the chicken is well seasoned and I like things fresh and not drowning in sauce.

This location is super busy. Some parts are a bit run down, like our booth’s seats were ripped. Be prepared to sit with strangers, as they will come up to your table and sit with you if you’re single at a booth. Although this isn’t unheard of in Japan, or I had it once at a well establish restaurant in France. But it’s not a sit down and relax kind of place. You want to get in, (long line ups too) and get out asap.
