After a failed attempt to visit Chill for some alcoholic bubble tea (because they are closed for renovations) we had no back up plan. So we looked across the street and saw White Spot. I didn’t really want to go because I just went a few days before for Pirate Pak day, but we couldn’t think of anything else, and my friend really wanted to try the Blue Berry “pie” that our other friend was raving about.
We got in, and noticed there were a lot of old people there. We seemed really cool going into White Spot at 930PM on a Friday night. Yup, we’re cool. Anyways, two of us had already eaten dinner at Glowbal Grill a few hours before, so we weren’t that hungry. That didn’t stop me from ordering a main though. It really took me a while to order because there wasn’t really anything I wanted. I went for something I’ve never had before – the Chicken, Broccoli & Cheese which was listed under their Spot Classics section. It turns out it wasn’t too bad. It came with the Spot’s Salad, a bowl of Chicken, Broccoli & Cheese, and rice. The spot salad was a mixed green salad with a vinaigrette and sunflower seeds. It was pretty good, the seeds added a nice salty, nutty crunch to the salad. The Chicken Brocolli Cheese rice was very saucy. The cheddar cheese was melted on top, and also mixed in with the sauce. The chicken was very very tender, and the broccoli was still crisp. There was a hint of curry in the sauce too which made it quite different, but good. The rice was also cooked well and had a bit of extra flavour.
One friend ordered a Smokey BBQ Chicken flatbread, and the other ordered the Blueberry pie that she was craving. The flatbread was really good as it came with a nice sweet bbq sauce and really good chicken. The crust was thin and crispy. To my friend, the blueberry lived up the expectations too. We also ordered a side of fries which were not very good this time.
So two visits to White Spot in 3 days, and both were pretty good (definitely better than the time I went in February). It may not be the hippest places to eat for us twenty-year-olds but the food is decent.

Hi Dee: I am surprised to hear that Chill is closed for renos. They are so new. I think it’s just a year old at max? Strange. I noticed business had not been particularly good at the cavernous resto each time I pass by them. Ben
Hi Ben, I know. I was hoping to try some of their small dishes, and the alcoholic BBT, but when we got there it was surprisingly dark and no one was parked in front. I got out of the car, and there was a note on the door that said “Sorry, closed for renovations”. It really did shock us because we knew it was a very new place. I was really looking forward to it too.
