Max’s Bakery & Delicatessen

Today was a sort of family day. Dad was getting cataract surgery done at VGH so Mom and I drove him down there. When we dropped him off, we had about an hour to kill, so we thought of going somewhere. There really isn’t much around the W. Broadway/Oak area, so it took us quite […]

BK Mushroom Swiss Steakhouse Burger

Originally since it was Wednesday, I wanted to take advantage of Whopper Wednesday and get a Whopper. However, as I pulled near the drive-thru window, the big huge advertisement for the BK Mushroom & Swiss Steakhouse Burger caught my eye and it was too enticing to pass up. So I gave up the $1.49 Whopper […]

Kirin 麒麟 @ New Westminster

It was another weekly dim sum brunch with Mum.  This day she wanted to go to Walmart so we decided to yum cha at Kirin Restaurant in New Westminster, at Starlight Casino. I really like the decor of the place.  It’s unlike other Chinese Seafood Restaurants in that it’s not all red with a dragon […]

Excellent Tofu & Snack 好好豆品

Wendy and I have been wanting to come to this place for a while.  We have been at Excellent Tofu a couple of times in the past and it was quite good.  After we had dinner, we rushed to Excellent Tofu at Central Square to try to get there before 9pm, only to find that […]

Happy Belated Easter!

I was meaning to post this picture but I forgot…so here it is~ Hope everyone had a nice Easter break! We all agree that this was an absolutely horrendous rendition of cute Dora wasn’t it?  Whoever came up with this probably shouldn’t design children’s anything anymore.  Eye-popping Dora is NOT kid-friendly.

Dairy Queen FlameThrower

This is gonna be a short post.  I have had the flamethrower burger for many years and have always said it’s one of the best fast food burgers out there.  It is the ONLY burger I know of from the main fast food joints (M’s, BK, A&W, DQ, Wendy’s) that actually has some ZING in […]

Berry Good Cafe

“Berry Good…it was…Very Good!” – Boyfriend That was how he suggested I start this post.  Anyways, feeling like dessert one night, I looked around Urbanspoon and Dinehere to see what dessert places are located in Richmond.  Berry Good got pretty positive reviews from most everyone that reviewed. So naturally I decided that Boyfriend would accompany […]

Bubble World 大頭仔 @ Burnaby

L and I took a coworker V out for bubble tea.  Her first experience wasn’t great, so I wanted to take her to a trusted good place and order her a trusted good drink. As we work close to Metrotown, the closest and best place to choose would obviously be Bubble World on Kingsway. It […]

No.1 Shanghai Cuisine 滬上

Update Nov 28, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. There are many types of Chinese cuisine. Tonight, we explored another venue for Shanghain-nese food in the great plains of Richmond. This place calls itself “Number One Shanghai Cuisine”. I don’t know about you guys, but I sure want to find out if in fact they […]

The Jade Seafood Restaurant 玉庭軒

I’ve been very fortunate lately to have at least one weekday off per week to go have dim sum with my mom.  I love going to “yum cha”, and I look forward to it everytime. This particular Monday, we were originally planning to go to Vivavity Restaurant on Alexandra Road.  That seems to be one […]
