One of the things I always tend to hear about taste of Edmonton is “it’s so expensive. “<\/p>\n
Look, I’m not saying the dropping $70 on 40 tickets is a small amount of money, but it certainly is easy to get value out of your taste of Edmonton experience<\/p>\n
Sure, there are some items that might be a little pricier like the five ticket lobster roll I enjoyed. But you can also find yourself relatively filling assortment of samples for less than 10 tickets.<\/p>\n
For instance, I was able to lineup three southeast Asian dishes for under 10 they would’ve made for a satisfying little meal ,had I not also been gorging on other food on Thursday evening?<\/p>\n
Chicken Balls, Szechuan Paramount (Booth 32, 3 tickets)<\/p>\n
For starters, you have the chicken balls. These are nothing fancy, but they are in fact an old standby. I was really impressed with how well prepared they were. The batter was nice and crispy around the outside. There is a reasonable portion of chicken in the middle and that bright red, shiny sweet-and-sour sauce over top, gave exactly the right amount of tang to the dish.<\/p>\n
Special Chow Mein, Blue Willow (Booth 31, 3 tickets)<\/p>\n
The three-ticket sampling of chow mein served as a decent side.\u00a0\u00a0The portion of beef may have been a a little light, but the portion size was more than adequate. I just wish I had gotten it last in the group of dishes. I ordered so the noodles would’ve been warmer by the time I got to eat them.\u00a0\u00a0Plan well, fellow tasters.<\/p>\n
Pulled Pork Steamed Bao, Hoang Long 888 (Booth 27, 3 tickets)<\/p>\n
The highlight of the sampling was this three ticket pork bao, which serves as a decent ‘mini-main’ here. This handheld came stuffed with succulent pork, bright veggies, crisp cabbage and lettuce, and a delectable sauce that added the right amount of zip. The bao was pillowy soft and airy. Definitely anchored the meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the things I always tend to hear about taste of Edmonton is “it’s so expensive. “…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[45274,45275,52,29434,1657,4337],"class_list":["post-135834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-edmonton","tag-chicken-balls","tag-chow-mein","tag-edmonton","tag-taste-of-edmonton","tag-ticket","tag-tickets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
