Sushi California is a chain of Korean-run sushi restaurants that offer pretty decent portion sizes for not a lot of money. It’s one of AngryRussian’s favorite places to eat actually. We always go to the Coquitlam location on North Road. They remind me a lot of Sushi Garden in a lot of ways. The pricing, […]
I had originally wanted to take AngryRussian to Hee Rae Dang for his first non-Korean-BBQ-Korean dinner experience. However it was just our luck that Hee Rae Dang was closed for renovations until- get this- the next day, so we kind of just walked around the area where Insadong is located and then I settled on […]
It’s been a while since I met up with Fannypack so her birthday was a good excuse for dinner. She suggested Anh and Chi. For anyone who doesn’t already know, Anh and Chi is located where Pho Hoang used to be, and that was opened by the parents of the now-owners of Anh and Chi. […]
For Miz Brown Sugar’s birthday this year we went to Heirloom Restaurant for dinner. Heirloom is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant that I had wanted to try for a while but never got around to it, so this was a fantastic excuse to go. We all started with drinks, all virgin. From left to right is the Ginger Spritz […]
Update: This restaurant has sadly closed 😢. We better be soaking up as much patio time as we can while we can! Meeting up for lunch one day brought PrettySis, 2Sis and I to Chill Winston in Gastown. PrettySis ordered a Medea ($12.50) for 2Sis and it was gorgeous. It was made with St. Germain elderflower liqueur, […]
Finally we got a summer! So I took Momsies to The Flying Pig for their Happy…er…’Appy Hour. It was a good deal. Food were $6 and drinks (house red or white wine, or house beer) were $4.75. We went to the Olympic Village location as it was walking distance. We had originally wanted the steamed […]
A lot of my dining choices have to do with Masterchef. The choice to go to Campagnolo was no exception. In one episode, the challenge was to make gnudi, which is a ricotta-based gnocchi-like Italian dish, except there’s no potatoes in it. I’ve never heard of gnudi before and it sounded delicious, so off to Google I […]
There was a fantastic deal on Travelzoo for Bistro Pastis, and having had a good experience there for Dine Out Vancouver this year, I quickly snatched it up and enlisted Fannypack to go with me. One reason I like Bistro Pastis was because their portions are pretty decent for a French restaurant. For my appetizer […]
‘Perfect Pairings’ was the theme one rainy afternoon at The Keg Yaletown. To celebrate the environmental partnership between The Keg and Bullfrog Power, I was invited to a wine and food pairing event at The Keg Yaletown. As of March 25, 2015, ten of The Keg’s downtown restaurant in Toronto and Vancouver will be powered […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. TDog and I met up for a much needed girl date, and we went for sushi lunch at Okonomi Sushi in Uptown New Westminster. Okonomi Sushi is a Korean-run Japanese restaurant. It’s spacious and clean, but the service is a bit slow and sometimes it feels like there’s a language […]
