Old Xian's Food - Braised Lamb Noodle in soup

Old Xian’s Food 老西安厨娘子

We had passed by Old Xian’s Food many times when AngryRussian has softball and every time I had wanted to go.  I finally got the chance when I had a huge noodle craving one night and we made the out-of-the-way drive to the Kingsway location. Old Xian shares a small parking lot with a few other shops and […]

Mr. Chili Noodle House Hot & Sour Potato Vermicelli

Mr. Chili Noodle House

The other day I was channeling the mantra of “Do one thing a day that scares you”. I decided to get a AXKA voucher for a meal for one to Mr Chili Noodle House and headed there for a lunch date with myself. With the voucher ($9.99) you get to pick from 3 noodle dishes, […]

Private Home Chinese Cuisine 一点心意

Update:  This restaurant is closed. Having moved out of Richmond for a while now, I must admit, I really miss the quality and quantity of good Asian restaurants within the city.  Now, when I want good Shanghai or Szechuan food, I have to drive across the bridge to get it and time my way back […]

Little Garden Chinese Cuisine 十里香 -Bellevue, WA

[…]

Kim Penh Xe Lua (Burnaby) and Chongqing Restaurant

Update: This Kim Penh Xe Lua location is now closed. This was a first for me: actually ordering food, taking a bite then refusing to pay and leaving immediately.  Yes, believe it or not, this hole in the wall was that disgustingly awful.  Wendy and I had seen the grand opening sign for this Vietnamese/Cambodian […]

S&W Pepper House 西南風 Richmond

Update Jan 23, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. Mom and I had dinner with Pretty Sister.  She was really into Szechuan foods lately and Mom found a new place to have it.  That would be S & W Pepper House located on No.3 Road. There were similarities in the dishes offered by S & […]

Si Chuan First Restaurant 天府風私房菜

Update Oct 3, 2009: This restaurant has since shut down. This is a small, not particularly noticeable Sze Chuan (Si Chuan) restaurant nestled in a little alcove on Buswell Street.  If you know where Happy Date is, you can cross from Happy Date to the back and you’ll see it. This is a gem of […]
