New Year's Eve Daytime Skate and Swiss Chalet

On New Year's Eve day Layla, Sophia and I meet my good friend Robinson at Harbor Front Centre for skating and lunch. For such a mild day, the skating surface was excellent. If you are planning to skate down here, get there early and beat the crowds, by the afternoon the rink is packed, and many of the skaters are beginners.

After skating we went to Swiss Chalet, across the street and a little west of Harbor Front Centre. We shared an appetizer of Perogies, they were very popular, and I think Layla and Robinson even fought over the last one.

Layla got chicken fingers and mashed potatoes and Sophia got chicken fingers with french fries. Both girls made a good attempt at their meals but they were a little full from the perogies. The chicken fingers are a little dry at Swiss Chalet, so be warned about that.

I had the chicken noodle soup which is always great. Robinson had chicken and ribs which was way too much food, but he managed to eat it all anyway.

For desert they offer ice cream, M&Ms or Skittles. We got Skittles for Sophia and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce for Layla (which she then turns into chocolate soft serve). Everyone was full by the end of the meal. The Skittles went swimming in the lemon finger dip bowls, that was fun and people had no problem eating the colourless Skittles afterward so they could fulfill their destiny.

Overall the meal was good value for the money. Robinson always eats so much it adds up though. About $$.
