Instant Pot Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup

Instant Pot Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup Recipe

Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup is one of my absolute favourite dishes to eat.  The soup is always so hearty and I love the pickled mustard that goes along with it. Now I’ve always assumed that this noodle soup is super complicated and takes a long time to make (HOW many ingredients do I need to […]

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 […]

Ramen Danbo Vancouver

Ramen Danbo

  Ramen Danbo has become one of AngryRussian and my favorite places to eat on our movie date nights (although we’ve really only been here twice).  The Vancouver location is within walking distance from 5th Avenue Cinemas, and is perfect for a quick and delicious meal.  We can usually get in and get out of there within […]

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, […]

sahm gook jih palace noodles spicy soup

Sahm Gook Jih Palace – Edmonds, WA

Whenever I venture to the states to visit Aunt Aggy and Uncle Walken, I always ask that they take me for Korean food since I believe they actually have a better selection of casual Korean restaurants down there in the Washington area.  This time they took us to Sahm Gook Jih Palace which is new […]

Hee Rae Dung Korean Chinese Restaurant 喜來燈

When MarathonMan from Calgary came to visit, GRock, L, him and I all went for dinner at Hee Rae Dung, which is a Korean-style Chinese restaurant.  This means, no Korean BBQ, no fear of smelling like it after! This is a restaurant that MarathonMan’s family, who’s Korean, frequent (he does not speak a word of […]

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 […]

longtail kitchen – River Market @ Westminster Quay

After the previous week’s pretty negative experience at Wild Rice Wendy and I braved the River Market once again to test longtail kitchen out.  A kind of humourous aside here: when I Googled “Longtail Kitchen” to give them a link in this article, the self-written description under their result says, “best restaurant in New Westminster” […]

Little Garden Chinese Cuisine 十里香 -Bellevue, WA

Many times when I visit Aunt Aggy and Uncle Walken in the States, they take me to new restaurants they’ve discovered.  This time, they took mom and I to Little Garden, a mixed Chinese restaurant in Bellevue.  I say “mixed” because they offer Shanghai style, Hunan style, Szechuan style; all different styles of Chinese food. […]

Pho Boi Kingsway

Pho Boi: A Taste of Attitude (Burnaby location)

  Wendy was quite excited to spot the transition of Pho Hoa on Kingsway to its new incarnation, Pho Boi: A Taste of Vietnam about a week ago.  We agreed to try it ASAP.  It seems this chain has its roots in Victoria, so in hindsight that should have been a red flag right there… […]
