Update: This restaurant is closed. For the month of August, The Urban Tea Merchant is offering a petite afternoon tea service for $20 per person. Now afternoon teas are never enough food for a guy so I made Fannypack go experience this with me. The regular price for this service is usually $28. Now I’m […]
Trusty Congee King is a franchised congee house in Hong Kong. It was a great quick and easy place for comfort food. This place seems to be known for using a fish stock as the base for their congee. While we were in Hong Kong I stayed with Fannypack at her place. Coincidentally it was […]
A mutual friend of Fannypack’s and mine was visiting from out of town and Fannypack had the task of choosing a place for dinner. She then of course passed it on to me even though lately she’s been eating out way more often than I =P. Upon googling I came up with Merchant’s Oyster Bar […]
I was pretty surprised and excited when my Dad told me that there’s a place called Bo Laksa King which serves traditional Myanmar cuisine here in Vancouver. Up until quite recently Myanmar has been very closed off to the world and so I didn’t know we had any sort of Burmese community here. But, Vancouver […]
Hitman and I first heard of the concept of cat cafes about a year ago. He read about them in one of those free daily papers and became really excited, and we planned on visiting one in Asia someday. Then we sorta forgot about it for a while. Then, on Fannypack’s and my last day in Seoul, […]
If you’ve been by the new Richmond Center food court, you’ve probably been accosted by the hawkers at Bourbon Street Grill. Apparently it’s a franchise, and Coquitlam Center got theirs first, but for Wendy and I it was a new experience and based on their friendly staff and abundant samples we picked it as the […]
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. […]
My quest for Mister Donut did not start out great….first of all the location listed in our tour book was no longer around…and Googling did not help either. So basically I had given up on the first night. The next morning we were on our way to Insadong. Fannypack suggested we take a walk to […]
Some friends headed out to celebrate a couple of birthdays on Saturday and decided to have the dinner and pre-drinks at Lickerish Lounge on Davie St. Neither of us has been here but we have heard of it; the paintings of major urban music figures on the walls were what came to mind immediately. We […]
We had made a mental note to stop by this neat looking little Portuguese place on Kingsway after seeing it while driving through the neighborhood. There was no info about it online when we checked so we figured it must be new (apparently it’s been there for a while under a different name before being […]
