The Crepe Factory
Posted on September 1, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink.
The Crepe Factory is probably my favorite food stand at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC). The crepe options are limited but they are good. Then again you can’t go wrong with crepes. You can put just about anything inside and it’ll turn out delicious. I don’t think the Crepe Factory is as good as the Crepe Cafe, the crepe place that we tried when we were in Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco. It is pretty good, though. If they’d given us enough time for lunch, I probably would have eaten there every single day. LOL.
Be prepared to spend some cash at the OCCC, though. The crepes cost $10-$12. There are no cheap lunches at the convention center. That’s for sure.
Brian had Korean tacos from another food stand the first time that I had the crepes. I’m sure they were good, but I bet they weren’t as good as my cordon bleu crepe.
The next time I had a hankering for a crepe, he decided to try it with me. He got an American, which is basically a breakfast crepe. I wanted to go for the gusto that time though, so I added tomatoes to my regular cordon bleu. I also ordered a banana + Nutella crepe for dessert. It’s my favorite kind of crepe. Yum!

Here are some additional pictures from my Zumba Kids training at the 2013 Zumba Instructor Convention in Orlando.
Gina, Jessica, and Lindsey were the presenters. It was an awesome training session.
We also got to see Gina’s kids and Jessica’s kids and also this cute little boy named Sebastian. It was a fun day of training. I’m actually excited to teach Zumba Kids.

Zumba Wear Fashion Show and Live Concert
Posted on September 1, 2013 by Ching under Zumba.
These are pictures from the Zumba wear fashion show and Sean Paul concert.
I wondered if they got to keep all of the Zumba wear that they modeled.
Other pictures from that evening…
I lucked out and got a good spot toward the front again.
The event started late so it went on well past eleven o’clock. I didn’t want to stay for the whole thing so I left before it was over. Ran into Christina on our way back to our room so we stopped for a photo op.
The second day of convention was another great, fun-filled day. Wow!

Mallards Bar at Peabody Orlando
Posted on August 29, 2013 by Ching under Food and Drink.
I only had a limited time to get ready between my training session and the live concert so instead of going to Pointe Orlando to eat dinner, we ended up grabbing something at Mallards. The quality of the food and drinks was good, but there are significant downsides to Mallards. The biggest one being the limited selection. Since it’s a bar, they just have a handful of options. And, it’s “bar” food. It may be upscale bar food, but it’s still bar food.
The service was also terrible that night. I don’t know what was up with our server, but she was inattentive and unhelpful. She was almost borderline rude. Immediately after she delivered our food, she brought the check over. That’s one of my pet peeves because it makes me feel rushed. Plus, I wanted to order some other stuff. It was really annoying.
Besides that, their drinks are super expensive. Then again, that’s probably normal for Orlando. I’m so glad I live in Wichita where I can get a couple of drinks for $13. LOL.
I think we should have tried one of the other restaurants located inside the hotel instead (there are a few inside Peabody Orlando). If only I wasn’t in a hurry. I probably would have been better off going back to B-Line Diner or grabbing something from B-Line Express (the diner’s to-go counter).
Possibly the one thing that Mallards has going for it is the march of the ducks at 11 AM and 5 PM. So just go for the ducks. Don’t bother eating or drinking. LOL. Or, save yourself the trip and just watch Brian’s video.

Zumba Toning Training with Madalene

Here are some pictures from my Zumba Toning training with Madalene Aponte.
Madalene is amazing. The Zumba Toning master class we had in the morning was fantastic. I had a great workout and it got me really pumped for the rest of training.
