Once in a while, I get a hankering for some good old Hong Kong comfort food. These foods come in the form of fried noodles, congee, baked spaghetti, etc., just a smorgasbord of items all accompanied by ice-cold Hong Kong style milk tea, coffee, or a mix of both (a wonderful invention from my culture). […]
East is East has two locations, one on Main St. and one on Broadway in Kits. After sampling some of the Kitsilano East is East offerings at a recent YVR Foodies Meetup, we won a gift certificate for being really spammy on Twitter that day hehe. The certificate could be used at either location, so […]
I am a big fan of cauliflower, whether it’s raw with dip or cooked with seasoning. However I always find that it is quite a hassle to dismantle a head of cauliflower, so for dinner tonight I decided to do it roasted cauliflower steak style.

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. […]
Mexican food is in my top 5 national cuisines, so you bet your cojones I’ve had my share of guacamole. And out of all that guacamole, this healthy recipe handed down from my mother (and slightly tweaked by me) is the best guacamole recipe I’ve tried. Better than any restaurant, better than any recipe. Yes, […]
