Common Room reunion

At school, I have always been curious of the Teachers room, the only room that pupils could not enter so when we got our common room it felt really special.
It was a place just for 5th year pupils at secondary school.
Whilst it was exciting progressing on to the 5th year, at the same time I was dreading it because it was the last year of school before heading off to college and not everyone attends college so you don't see them anymore.
Thanks to Mjqueen7e for inviting me to The Common Room which reminded me of school.
It was a lovely gathering environment for drinks and food.
The small twisting flight of stairs at the entrance was interesting.
Anyway, here was what we tried:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pulled pork poutine:

Melted chedder cheese and bbq sauce.
Addictive fries topped with delicious gravy and bbq sauce with melted cheese, and the pulled pork makes it satisfying.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken lollipops:

Coated with maple syrup.
Irresistible chicken lollipops with a crispy coating enhanced by the maple syrup and sweet sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Charred sweet corn salad:

This was simple and delicious, nachos topped with corn, purple onions and diced tomatoes flavoured with spices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Flatbread:

caramelized onions, wild mushrooms, goats cheese and truffle.
This was a bit like pizza and a bit like crackers topped with delicious goats cheese on top with fragrant truffle and sweet caramelized onions and earthy mushrooms.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Portobello mushroom sliders:

gruyere, caramelized onions and avocado.
These sliders were cute and I loved the way the mushroom was bigger than the bun.
It was really satisfying and meaty but not heavy because it was just a juicy mushroom in the middle with melted gruyere cheese and guacamole.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
WAGYU FOIE GRAS SLIDERS:
Caramelized onions, arugula and balsamic reduction.

These cute burgers were meaty and paired nicely with the balsamic reduction which made it more appetizing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Classic mac and cheese:
Buffalo mozzarella, gruyere, parmesan, gouda topped with breadcrumbs.

The macaroni was a little too heavy for my liking.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lobster linguine:
Spicy fresh half lobster in tomato sauce.

The pasta was al-dente but the tomato sauce was too spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lobster Risotto:
Lobster chunks, cream, garlic and white sauce

This was similar to the above but with delicious creamy risotto beneath it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
For drinks I had the LEMON LIME BITTER which was quite acidic at first but after the ice melted it was really refreshing with the food.

Common Room:
1/F, Wo On Building, 8-13 Wo On Lane, Central
