Update: This restaurant is now closed. Dine Out Vancouver was good to me this year. I haven’t had a big miss and I’ve had the opportunity to hang out with new friends and have new, interesting conversations. Good times. Good times indeed. My next out was to hidden Tasting Bar and Social Lounge on Robson, […]
Time for Dine Out again! I thought I’ll quickly churn out this post while there’s still some time left for those of you that are looking for reviews before choosing a restaurant. This time, Mom chose Seasons in the Park as she really enjoyed it last time and it was close to Pretty Sis’ birthday. […]
Update: This location is now closed. I find that the Thurlow location of Benkei more convenient, as it’s closer to the Canada Line station so it’s within easy walking distance. I don’t quite remember if the old location had these two types of soup on their menu, but I’m pretty sure Shiro isn’t on there. […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. I’m probably very late on trying on Babylon Cafe. A few coworkers had raved about this place and finally I was able to try it. I had just gotten off work so I was hungry, plus it was pouring rain so a piping hot wrap in my hands definitely […]
Update Dec 3, 2012: This restaurant is now closed. I think I’ve seen this Misoya Ramen before but just didn’t remember it until I saw them advertised in the current issue of Klip magazine. They currently have a coupon in there for a Ramen and Gyoza combo for $10. It is not very big in […]
On a recent trip to Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, we decided to have “lunch” (it was 3pm) at Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Some of you may be familiar with this name as it is a franchised restaurant, and locally they have a location in Vancouver also. It was a particularly warm day so we decided to […]
I’ve always liked Water St. Cafe in Gastown. It is a relatively affordable restaurant with a nice atmosphere and good food. This year they’re celebrating their 21st anniversary so they were offering a Whole Lobster entree for just $20. I of course took advantage of this. Upon entering the restaurant, I found it was quite […]
After hearing so much about the chicken wings and Butter Beef at Phnom Penh, I was finally able to go to try them out! I think we over-ordered though. Way too much food for 2 people. Phnom Penh is a Cambodian/Vietnamese restaurant, but they also make food from other regions too as you shall see. […]
Dee introduced me to the only Northern-style Vietnamese pho restaurant in Vancouver, and that’s Lam Hoa Quan. He finally took me there and really was different. The interior was nothing fancy obviously, but it was orderly and actually quite spacious to me. The server was a young, made-up lady that spoke perfect English. So there […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. The night we had dinner at Pinky’s was during the Olympics. As expected, anywhere else from the Downtown core has very little business during those two weeks, doesn’t matter what day of the week. Pinky’s, being in Kitsilano, was no exception. We were probably the 3rd table there that […]
