Downtown Bellevue is so beautiful. Their buildings look like heritage buildings, but also has a very modern edge to them to keep things interesting. They also have lots of awesome restaurants!! One such restaurant is John Howie Steak, a pretty swanky steakhouse that makes Hy’s Encore here in Vancouver look like the Keg (just a […]

Update: This restaurant is closed. Having moved out of Richmond for a while now, I must admit, I really miss the quality and quantity of good Asian restaurants within the city. Now, when I want good Shanghai or Szechuan food, I have to drive across the bridge to get it and time my way back […]

Well well well, I’m back in San Diego again, this time for work. I was quite excited not only because this is my first business trip, but also ’cause it’s an opportunity for out-of-town posts!! Prior to the trip I googled and urbanspoon’d for where to eat. I finally decided on Spices Thai Cafe in Mira […]
Having been at the EAT! Vancouver festival for all three days, I was able to curate a lot of goodies from different vendors. Tonight’s dinner involves two ingredients that we purchased.
