Stanley Plaza

In this busy and overcrowded city, there are still places around that can be really quiet. Scarlett wanted to go to a "nice place" for a "nice dinner" with us and when we asked her, she will always pick Stanley Plaza, on a weekday evening of course, and at her favourite burger joint. She gave us many reasons why she likes this burger joint and I was impressed with all the observations she made about the place that attracted her back over and over again. I feel the exact same way as she does. 

This burger joint is kid friendly and on a weekday night, it is pretty quiet. We really love quiet places. Most "quiet" restaurants will kick Chester out, but not Beef and Liberty. The waiter who served our table gave the kids colouring sheets and crayons, served us free hot Jasmine tea towards the end of the meal seeing that we didn't order any drinks but just had plain warm water, and he also has very nicely done manicure in deep mauve. He is simply awesome. 

Scarlett was curious and asked me when we were on our way home why did the waiter had his nails painted. I asked if she thinks he did a great job serving us tonight and she said yes. I asked if he was polite and friendly to us and she said yes. Then I told her those are the qualities that matter most. What he chooses to put on or wear doesn't matter. 

Our daughter picked Sweet Baby Cheesus burger cooked medium rare with sweet potato fries tonight. She loves brie cheese. Chester had most of my sweet potato fries and I am stuffed already with just my hamburger. If you ever want to find a quiet place to have some nice burgers on a weekday night, try this place at Stanley Plaza.

Finished all his sweet potato fries without any going to waste

The highlight of the night wasn't just the burgers and fries, it was that huge space outside the restaurants that the kids get to run and the playground too. Allan and I were watching them play happily and he would squeeze my shoulders whenever Chester rubbed himself on the ground or slept on the ground and I would whisper, "Yes yes yes, I will make sure that he gets a shower before he sleeps." I cringed too whenever I saw him doing that. No idea how many dogs poop or pee on that spot.

We also spotted three wild boars

An undeniably beautiful night for us
