Chinese Restaurant in Sydney, NS

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008


Four of us in the group wanted to get some reasonable priced seafood in the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia. However, we found out that the bargain for seafood is not necessarily better on the coastal area, sadly… and we decided to go for some Chinese food!

There were quite a few restaurants listed under the YellowPages, and we finally picked the Hong Fa Restaurant. It seems to be one of the more established ones. It was about 15 minutes walk from the motel. Nice evening breeze, I didn’t mind it at all, except that everyone’s stomach was growling at that time, around 7:30 p.m.

Just as other typical “Chinese” restaurants, they serve combo meals and ala carte which you can order for the table (which usually is more authentic). I opted for something simple from the combo menu.

Presenting to you my dish of combo ($8.99): chicken fried rice, egg roll, chop suey, and fried scallop balls with sweet sauce. It was a decent meal, scallop balls were a great change from the regular chicken balls. Haha… at least I got some seafood ;) Taste wise, however, could have been better. One good thing though, dishes were prepared without MSG!

Seafood Meal

Monday, September 29th, 2008

A cozy and friendly place in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, the Fortress View Restaurant & Suites. I was there for supper, longing for my seafood fix (which turned out to be my early birthday supper, what a surprise :)). Freshly baked rolls and oat cakes (or more like oat snaps) are served. Yumm… it can’t get any better! Supposedly, we were able to overlook the fortress of Louisbourg from our table, but it was getting dark at that time and we didn’t a chance to see much.

The restaurant, however, already had some neat Halloween decorations put up.

I ordered fish cakes and beans for my main course. It’s known as the famous Luoisbourg dish! It was served with warm sliced bread and sweet relish on the side. It was a wonderful meal ^v*
