DD Mau is a little gourmet banh mi place in Yaletown. I guess its location validates the high prices they charge…in any other regular Vietnamese restaurant, a banh mi is at the most $4.75. Hitman first heard of this place from reading about it in a newspaper, and he was very excited as they offer […]
How is this year’s Dine Out fest treating everyone so far?? If you’re having trouble deciding on a final one, or even ONE, Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company (RMFC) would be a great choice. Extremely family-friendly (there’s a play area for the kiddies….and step stools in the washrooms too!!), it’s a break from the many other […]
Cold winter weather always calls for a nice, cozy cup of hot chocolate don’t you agree? We took a short trip to the island, and while it wasn’t exactly wintery weather, it was still mighty cold. So Hitman took me to a place in downtown Courtenay called Hot Chocolates for…wait for it….Hot Chocolate!! Now Hot […]
Wendy was extremely excited to receive an invitation for us to attend an exclusive tasting event for Canada’s entry into the Bocuse d’Or. For those who haven’t heard of it this biannual competition is an international event held in Lyon, France and will take place on January 29th and 30th this year. It’s one of […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Wendy and I managed to secure a reservation on Dine Out Vancouver‘s opening night this year for one of the more intriguing of the $18 menu hosts; Judas Goat Taberna in Gastown. For those unfamiliar with the Dine-Out concept, it’s a 17-day annual food festival where many local restaurants set […]
Hey Vancouver it’s that time of year again! Numerous restaurants around the city offers 3-course dinners for $18/$28/$38 each! Hitman and I will for sure do at least one restaurant this year… It’s just been so busy! One of my favorite dine-out restaurants in recent years has got to be Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company (see […]
Fannypack recently informed me of this little place in Chinatown that has Buck-a-Shuck happy hour…and get this…it REALLY is a buck for a shuck!!! Not $1.75, not $1.50, just $1!!! When I heard of this, I quickly scurried Hitman to the magical Oyster eXpress with me. This corner restaurant has a very rustic log house interior…the birch color […]
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 […]
I love pho…I would have it everyday if I could. Now it’s not the most expensive meal in the world but it would be such an accomplishment if I could make it myself… So off to the inter webs I went in search for an easy recipe. My first attempt at making any kind of […]
