West Edmonton Mall, Julio’s Barrios, Death By Chocolate
This Saturday I went out with a whole bunch of my med friends—the same ones that I went together to Med Formal Night. It was a very busy day in West Edmonton Mall. I mean it was really busy. Usually West Ed Mall (WEM) doesn’t have that many people even on the weekend. 
We speculated…probably it was the spring break and many high school students were having days off.
We went to Julios Barrios (a Mexican restaurant) for dinner first. Boys, we had to wait for 45minutes to get a table! It was busy, like I said. By the time we got our seats, it was around 17:10. The food was very good. We even asked for a Jalapeno dip for our nacho. It was definitely very spicy. If I feels it’s spicy, I mean it’s not the ordinary spicy. It’s hot hot hot. 
Good that the soft drink was refillable!!! Very nice indeed. We finished dinner around 18:20. I think we ordered too much food. We didn’t even finish our nacho. My tummy was so full.
Afterward, we went to Silver City to see a movie “V for Vendetta”. Wait…I think it was probably a bad idea after my tummy was stuffed with food and then had to sit in a theather for another 2 hours. It was like a couch potato. Well, we went ahead to the movie. There was some distance from the restaurant to the cinema. We walked, walked, walked to exercise and burn off the calorie, but we decided to take the elevator near the end of the walk. The movie was ok. I mean, the idea behind the scene was not original. Instead of French Revolution, it’s just a British Revolution in a modern time. Some good actions and humor, and that’s pretty much about it. Anita didn’t go; she was on call that night in her pediatrics rotation. That was smart. Maybe she knew the movie plot?! 
After the movie, we went to have some coffee and ice cream at Death By Chocolate. I couldn’t believe it. The restaurants were still open inside the mall. I thought all stores inside West Edmonton Mall were closed at 21:30. It was good to discover the restaurants were still open. Night clubs and bars were probably still open too. Anyway, we went to Death By Chocolate. I’ve never been there, and it looked like most of us have never been to this coffee & ice cream shop. We took a table, browsed through the menu, and were amazed with a number of menu items and pictures that the restaurant comes up with. Very creative dishes. The first one definitely is “Death By Chocolate”—a coffin!!! Others include Broken Heart (a heart with bleeding blood), “Between The Sheets” (this one, you have to see it yourself , here is the picture ), etc. There are a few more interesting ones. I’ll let you discover it.
By the time we finished, it was 23:20. Time to go home.

Hello,
I am looking for 30 or so chocolate-dipped strawberries for next week Saturday (Apr. 26)
Are you the place to find those?
Thank you!
A.
