Woohoo!!! Mr. ESL is getting married!!! To commemorate his last days as a bachelor Ms. Awkward Diner organized a fantastical and super fun stag for him. It all started with dinner at The Irish Heather. Or was it the Salty Tongue?? I say this because although we had reservations at The Irish Heather, we were […]
One day on our way to Bo Laksa King’s we drove by the bright yellow awning of Tamam. Hitman caught the text reading “Fine Palestinian Cuisine” and we were instantly intrigued. We took a look at their menu online, and found enough items of interest so we made a date to go there for lunch. […]
On the hunt for bones to make pho with and our usual location was all out, so we decided to check Al-Salam Halal Meat. I phoned ahead (twice) to confirm price and stock and both times was greeted by a very friendly sounding man who called me “Brother” after every sentence. I could hear some […]
Yep. Hitman’s really done it this time. He’s dug himself into a massive hole and frankly, I don’t think he’s gonna be able to get out of it. How could you be so careless??? Did you think of the consequences??? Apparently not! Geez you’ve done such a tremendous job on our first anniversary how are […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Wendy and I had a WagJag deal for Eh! Restaurant so we decided to head down to the Alberni & Thurlow location to check it out. Prices seemed quite reasonable for this area with many entrees on the rather sparse menu under $10 before the discount. The decor was kind […]
Update: This restaurant is now called Bellaggio Laziza Restaurant. I was fortunate enough to be among some fellow bloggers invited to a tasting event held by a new-ish Mediterranean restaurant on Davie – Laziza. Just to give a bit of background on the restaurant, according to the press release, the menu is inspired by the […]
Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. If you didn’t hear by now, it is Griffins 18th birthday this year and to celebrate, they are offering their menu for 50% off till the end of September. Naturally I took advantage of this incredible deal and had dinner there with Fannypack. She’s the best friend […]
Taking my parents out for dinner one night, we wanted good steakhouse food without travelling all the way to Downtown. I remembered having been to The American Grille before and had a good meal there, so I decided to take my parents there. They are also in the Entertainment Book so there was all the […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. It was Mom’s birthday this month so Pretty Sis and I took her and some other family members to a place interestingly called Cork and Fin in Gastown. I guess by that name it means they specialize in wines and seafood?? They are a participant of the Let’s Go […]
For my last Dine-out experience of 2010, we went to a place called The Refinery which is located on Granville. It’s a very small restaurant located on top of Sip Lounge (I think they’re owned by the same people). However it has quite an intimate setting and we were impressed. For my appetizer I picked […]
