This is Part 7 of our Victoria Food Adventures! Check out the rest here! Update: This location has permanently closed. So I guess I took too long to write this post (a year actually!) as this location of Perverted Ice Cream (website) in Victoria has permanently closed. However their Vancouver downtown location is still open and […]
This is Part 5 of our New York Food Adventures! Check out the rest! Going along with the hype that is the Momofuku empire, our next stop after pork ramen was of course Milk Bar, which was close by. We’re in New York, we HAD to see what the hype’s about. Damn you (social) media! We had already […]
Hot off the heels of the Healthy Family Expo comes the trades-only Canadian Health Food Association‘s Conference and Tradeshow CHFA West and it was with pleasure and excitement that I was able to attend. It’s always interesting to see what the upcoming trends are in the food world, and this year, it seems like anything […]
With the grand opening of Soft Peaks Ice Cream in Gastown in February this year, a bunch of bloggers (me included! Yay!) were invited to bring a friend and pay a visit to their store on Alexander Street for a free sample. So of course I brought my partner-in-crime Fannypack to give Soft Peaks a […]
I’ve heard so much about Beta5 cream puffs that one day I finally decided to head down there with TDog to try them out. The kitchen is located in an industrial area (fittingly called Industrial Ave.). If not for Google maps and Beta5’s sandwich board, the store would be easy to miss. They have dedicated […]
3 days. 15 hours. Hundreds of booths, stages, and events. This was our experience at EAT! Vancouver 2014: If you haven’t been to EAT! Vancouver—you should go!—it is the ultimate consumer food show. Wander the aisles with your fellow foodies grazing on samples, stuffing your bags with bargain priced fine foods, and schmoozing with celebrity […]
Travelzoo recently had a dinner-for-2 deal for Edible Canada in Granville Island. We had both wanted to try this restaurant for a while now and missed it during Dine Out Vancouver this year, so I quickly snatched it up for a date with Fannypack. This was one of the better value deals as you get […]
Ever dreamt of browsing the racks of a grocery store and being able to just pull whatever you like off the shelf to try? I have, and therefore I was supremely stoked to get an invite to Grocery Showcase West 2014. Livin’ the dream! Grocery Showcase West is an annual trade show held by the […]
I was told of Tealips cafe by Awkward Diner a while ago. I was so happy to find that there was a dessert waffle place so close to me. I quickly brought Hitman to try it out with me on a few occasions, for dessert AND for lunch. Our first visit was for dessert after […]
Update: This restaurant is closed. ORU at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel was the last stop for Dine Out Vancouver 2014. It coincided with Pretty Sis’ visit so it worked out perfectly as a venue for some much-needed and long overdue sister-talk. I’d never been to ORU before and I was very, very pleasantly surprised […]
