McDonald's Canada Carolina BBQ Quarter Pounder Review

I love the Carolina BBQ sauce in the Carolina BBQ Quarter Pounder from McDonald's Canada.

100% Canadian quarter pound beef patty topped with sweet and tangy golden Carolina BBQ sauce, hickory smoked bacon strips, crispy onions, pickles, and two slices of processed cheddar cheese served on a toasted sesame bun.

It was sweet and perfect, with a salty slice of processed cheddar cheese, on top of a juicy beef patty and crispy fried onions. Overall, something I'll happily eat again.

I wonder if they can do a Carolina BBQ dipping sauce for Chicken McNuggets. Yum!

McDonald's Canada seasonal Candy Cane Fudge McFlurry

I'm not a fan of candy canes in general because I don't like anything peppermint. It reminds me of toothpaste; that's why I don't like peppermint drinks.


Candy Cane Fudge McFlurry

As part of our Friday foodie adventure, hubby and I tried the new Candy Cane Fudge McFlurry from McDonald's Canada. According to their description, it includes the smooth and creamy vailla soft serve we know and love swirled with peppermind candy pieces and topped off with the deadent hot fudge.

Candy Cane Fudge McFlurry Thoughts

For this reason, I didn't enjoy the Candy Cane Fudge McFlurry from McDonald's Canada. So I took a couple spoonful, and that's it.

According to the description, there should be a decadent hot fudge on top of the Candy Cane Fudge McFlurry, but what we received did not have that.

A&W Canada sells KitKat Turnover

Happy Friday! After the Christmas Tree Lighting in Downtown Vancouver and trying the Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken Nuggets from Burger King, we quickly grabbed a KitKat Turnover from A&W Canada.

The Chocolate Turnover was served warm, and it was delicious. However, it would be perfect with a scoop of soft vanilla serve. Does A&W have ice cream? Is this something we can pitch to them?

Burger King offers the Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken Nuggets

Happy Friday! Hubby and I went to Downtown Vancouver for the Christmas Tree lighting in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

After the countdown and lighting, we dropped by Burger King to try the Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken Nuggets. It feature bite-sized white meat chicken coated in a seasoned home-style breading with a cheesy and spicy flavour kick.

It was too salty because of the processed cheddar cheese and had a subtle heat but not enough to get you grabbing a glass of water. Overall, this is a miss and not something I would want again.

Knedla at Vancouver Christmas Market 2022

This is the first time we've heard of Knedla when we saw a food vendor selling it at the Vancouver Christmas Market. It really shows how little we know about food from Europe.

We ordered 4 of the 5 available stuffed Knedla flavours. Unfortunately, the Traditional Plum was already sold out.

Knedla is a steamed dumpling from traditional potato dough widely available in Eastern Europe. I apologize for the terrible photos. It may look like it exploded on our plate, but it was worth the mess!


A box of four Knedla

The dough was soft, chewy, and thick. I'll happily eat that on its own or with anything - savoury and sweet. All their flavours are on the sweet side, which my hubby loves. We ordered Nutella, Cookies & Creme, Raspberry White Chocolate, and Raffaello.


Nutella Flavour Knedla

Nutella Flavour Knedla
Nutella Knedla is made for chocolate lovers. We fill our signature potato dough with the original Nutella spread, then coat it with more hazelnuts and cacao.

Our favourite, hands down, is the Raffaello. If you love coconut, this is the way to go. There's a depth of flavour.


Raffaello Knedla

Raffaelo Knedla
For coconut lovers. We fill our signature potato dough with yummy ganache of premium white chocolate, almonds, and coconut, then coat it with thinly shredded coconut.

Raspberry White Chocolate Knedla

Raspberry White Chocolate Knedla
A super refreshing, elevated taste. We fill our signature potato dough with premium white chocolate and locally sourced raspberries,             then coat it with our secret crumb coating.

The Raspberry White Chocolate and Raffaello are definitely flavours geared more towards adults, while Nutella and Cookies & Creme are more for kids or those who love sweets.


Cookies & Creme Knedla

Cookies & Creme Knedla
A fan favourite made for Oreo cookie lovers. We fill our signature potato dough with premium white chocolate mixed with dark cookie crumble the coat it with Oreo crumbs.

We'll definitely come back and try the Traditional Plum next time.

Hurricane Potato at Vancouver Christmas Market

After eating sweets, I have an intense craving for fried potatoes. Yay that there's Hurricane Potato.


Hurricane Potato in Vancouver Christmas Market

You better devour this because it's so cold that it hardens immediately.

Below is a list of food vendors inside the Vancouver Christmas Market we have tried so far:
