June 8th 2024: Spending the Day in Marlborough

 Today, we started out with a drink from Smoothie King in Marlborough,

getting the Strawberry Bluegurt Blitz (Strawberries*, Greek Nonfat Yogurt, Apple Blueberry Juice Blend, Dairy Whey Blend, Multivitamin Enhancer).

Not bad for a refresher. Next, it was lunch at Bao Bap Restaurant, a Japanese chicken katsu place nearby.

We got the Chicken Katsu Curry Fries (Crispy fries tossed in Shichimi, topped with chicken katsu, golden curry sauce, fried egg and scallion),

the Brothless Ramen (Refreshing with BROTHLESS RAMEN, ponzu sauce, chashu pork belly, cabbage salad, fukuzinzuke),

and the Golden Pork Bao (Golden and crispy on the outside, savory on the inside, fried pork bao are a delightful fusion of textures and flavors, serve with gochujang sweet and sour sauce)

Pretty good, although the ramen was just so-so, but the crispy buns and chicken really made up for it. My other half even liked the Japanese curry sauce.

Next, we went a few stores down to An Nam Vietnamese Grill, which has definitely moved from the Bao Bap location.

We got the Sea Salt Cream Mousse Iced Coffee,

which I have to say is a pretty interesting concept.

From here, we decided to take a walk around Williams Lake, which now has a boardwalk built across it. The path we took here is shown below in pink.

What a way to bring visitors into the town. Nice views on the boardwalk, although the walk itself took longer than I thought it would.

With that, our final stop for the day was at the Dunkin' Donuts nearby, getting the Kiwi Watermelon Refresher

and the French Cruller.

A good end to a day spent in Marlborough.
