Travelzoo recently had a dinner-for-2 deal for Edible Canada in Granville Island. We had both wanted to try this restaurant for a while now and missed it during Dine Out Vancouver this year, so I quickly snatched it up for a date with Fannypack. This was one of the better value deals as you get […]
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). […]
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. We were recently sent some seasoning samples from Spice Sanctuary, […]
There are a lot of little eateries in the States that get famous by word-of-mouth. Paseo Caribbean Restaurant is definitely one of them. Mom and I were told by Cousin D to visit this place, and to visit it early. So the next morning, Aunt Aggy, Uncle Walken, Mom and I woke up (relatively) early […]
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. […]
On a trip to the States with Pretty Sis, Aunt Aggy and Uncle Walken took us for a mini morning winery + wine tasting tour. Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery is situated at a sort of industrial area where there are a bunch of other wineries. This particular one was chosen for the abundance of awards […]
I gotta admit. Fresh figs underwhelm me. They always look so appealing and promising but when I bite into one, aside from the apparent and plain sweetness, there isn’t much flavor to them. Hitman loves them fresh but I just don’t get it. Dried figs, however, are a whole different story. Soft, slightly chewy with […]
Before I get into my Tea Sparrow Subscription Tea Box review (and give you the promo code at the bottom!), let me give you a bit of background. Because of my Chinese heritage, tea has always been a big part of my life growing up. I remember my grandpa would always have a carafe of […]
I was told of Tealips cafe by Awkward Diner a while ago. I was so happy to find that there was a dessert waffle place so close to me. I quickly brought Hitman to try it out with me on a few occasions, for dessert AND for lunch. Our first visit was for dessert after […]
Sorry Fannypack, but the real reason why I asked you to go with me to Bestie (a German restaurant in Vancouver’s Chinatown) was so that I could name my post as such. I used you I know, I’m sorry. Hey at least we got a date and some Bestie/Bestie badges out of it right? As […]
