On a recent trip to the States, Aunt Aggy had recommended a frozen entrée from Trader Joe’s to me. It’s the Trader Joe’s Spicy Thai Shrimp Fried Rice ($3.99USD I believe….). She had raved and raved about it so I had to try it. The shrimp portion is in a separate baggy from the rice […]
Wendy’s been spending a bit of time down at the River Market at New Westminster Quay, and with me not having been at all yet we decided to go for dinner at Wild Rice. I vaguely remembered having heard good things about Wild Rice restaurant, and I know it serves fairly healthy food, so it […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I LOVE PHO!!!! So when I found a good pho place close to home, I was ecstatic. I noticed that a good pho broth is hard to find nowadays…most places are either not concentrated enough or it’s much too sweet. Maxima seems to have a good […]
Just a note before we start: one of Wendy’s coworkers made a comment along the lines of, “Wow, you guys really like surprises…!”, after hearing about our latest dinner out, so at the risk of sounding too overly cute here’s just one more. Last one, we promise!! …Well at least for a good long while […]
If you like crabs and prime rib, this is the buffet for you folks. Pretty Sis and I went down for a visit to our lovely aunt and uncle down in the States. Now when my parents went down a couple times ago aunt and uncle had taken them to the Snoqualmie Casino for their […]
Wendy and I don’t usually eat out with others. Probably because my schedule is pretty messed and it’s already tough enough to go out with Wendy! So it was a pretty night to be on a ‘triple date’ with a very good buddy and his girlfriend and another couple of whom were his friends. The […]
Update Aug 3, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. It has been a while since I’ve been to r.tl. I was first introduced to this restaurant when they held a foodie night early last year. I had a good impression of the place but never got the chance to go back until now, as my […]
Update Dec 20, 2010: This restaurant is now closed. One of the more famous restaurants in Vancouver is closing up shop soon due to its lease ending. I have heard about this restaurant for years but never had the opportunity to go. It is fantastic that I get to share this experience with Wendy in […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Mom and I haven’t been to dim sum for quite a while since our schedules haven’t been matching up quite as nicely lately. So when a chance finally came we went to one of her favorite places: Golden Sea City. Golden Sea City and its predecessor were favorites of ours. […]
There are places where you hear about often, but never get around to going there. For me, Swiss Chalet was one of those destinations. I saw their commercials since I was very young and loved the shiny, oily videos of rolling chicken and wished to devour such a treat! And finally, Wendy and I got […]
