Queso Fundido at The Mexican versus Telus Garden

The Mexican Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato My first experience of queso fundido was at Telus Garden, where I really thought they did a great job of it. I spotted the dish again tonight at The Mexican Antojitos Y Cantina, where you have two options: with chorizo (the traditional way) or mushrooms (the veggie option; doesn't cost any less).

Queso Fundido ($11) Flame-melted cheese mixed with your choice of mushroom or homemade chorizo, corn tortillas and pico de gallo.
  • It's an appetizer so portion is smallish.
  • Salty cheese. And only three (?) tacos so be generous with the cheese.
  • Cools quite quickly but doesn't harden for a while. Still, it's not tasty when it's not hot so don't dilly dally!
  • Definitely use the salsa (pico de gallo) provided as it helps to offset the heaviness that comes with basically eating a whole lot of cheese.

2016-Jul-7 The Mexican - Queso Fundido

Overall it's pretty tasty in a salty-tasty sort of way, and if you like stringy cheese it's fun. BUT -- and I can't believe I'm saying this because I'm not Glowbal Group's biggest fan -- BUT if you like queso fundido, go to Telus Garden. For just $4 more, they do an honestly fantastic job in comparison. Here's why (aside from being in a way fancier atmosphere):
  • Comes in a searing hot stone bowl that literally sizzles the cheese inside. This keeps it hot and soft for a long time.
  • More stringy cheese fun.
  • Cheese is seared brown where it touches the bowl, and if you're like me, you find that pretty darn tasty.

  • Only $4.50 but also not that tasty to be honest.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines).

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
